Everyone loves a pool party.

Whether you are heading to O Beach at Ibiza or Scorpios in Mykonos, a chic poolside look is a must. Just channel some Love Island glam into your look.

We love the idea of opting for a cut-out one piece, but there are some great bikinis if you prefer two-piece sets.

One thing is for sure, a gorgeous cover up, stylish sunglasses and practical yet chic non-slip footwear should complete your outfit.

Beach day is the day we enjoy the most while on vacay. Kick back and soak up the sunshine, sea views and beach bars or watersport activities close by.

Beach days require optimum comfort, so we advise a one-piece swimsuit if you like water activities.

If you like to tan a bandeau or tie bikini will minimise tan lines. Don't forget a cute cover up too.

We recommend:

  • Ribbed Ring Detail Bandeau Bikini Top, £15, from M&S -
  • Ribbed High Leg Bikini Bottoms, £15, from M&S -
  • New Girl Exclusive terry towelling draw string short co-ord, £24, ASOS -

4. City break

City breaks are often full on, so you need to dress for sight-seeing in the day and the local bar or club scene in the evening.

No matter where in the world you are jet-setting to comfortable footwear is a necessity.

Also having a stylish warmer layer or jacket is a good idea to stay cosy when it gets chillier at night.

We recommend:

  • Mathilde Dress, £90, from The Sisterhood -
  • Blue Denim Oversized Jacket, £25.99, from New Look -
  • John Lewis & Partners Leather Camera Cross Body Bag, £69, from John Lewis -

  • VEJA Campo Trainers, £130, Office -

5. Evening dinner

We don't know what it is about heading out to dinner when on holiday, but every day we look forward to getting dressed up for the evening meal.

The options are limitless: go for a casual but smart co-ord attire for somewhere low-key, or dress to the nines in a more formal look at that posh restaurant you've been dying to try.

Depending on where you are in the world, practical footwear is essential. Make your choice fashionable in the form of a sturdy wedge.

We recommend:

  • Camel Cotton Linen Kris Dress, £99, Never Fully Dressed -
  • CASTAÑER Carina 80 canvas wedge espadrilles, £85, Net-A-Porter -

If your next holiday is at yoga retreat or fitness excursion, then stocking up on comfortable and lightweight athleisurewear will be high on your list.

The key to packing for a wellness retreat is great mix and match separates that you can layer up and practical and supportive activewear.

Think fun prints and bright colours to keep your looks interesting.

  • Black Scuba Zip Up Swimsuit, £28, Pretty Little Thing -
  • No Ride Booty Pocket Full Length Leggings, £86, from Lorna Jane -
