Fashion ladies! This is the ultimate style guide for a trip to Saint-Tropez. Opt for vintage chic, the Brigitte Bardot look, or indeed, that oh so easy kaftan.
If you're reading this, there's a good chance I'm already lounging in Saint-Tropez. Think: a touch of glamour, a touch of decadence, a touch too much lunch at Plage 55 and a bit too much rosé. LOVE it. And of course, the contents of my suitcase only consist of responsible outfits. Here it is, the ultimate style guide for Saint-Tropez.
Vintage Chic Think Brigitte Bardot in the 50s. A bit nonchalant, a bit innocent. During the day, wear capri pants with a fitted top and of course a pair of ballerinas. Or a wide skirt with a shirt blouse that you tie around your hips. Preferably wear white or soft pastel colors. Take your beach towel and lotions in a large basket.
Print Extravaganza go all the way and mix different prints, such as large flowers, ethnic and exotic patterns. Think of a colorful floral swimsuit. And especially wear large statement jewelry and flat sandals. Exotic prints (see here the most beautiful fashion items with palm trees) are more stylish than ever. Other prints, such as checks and stripes, also do well in the summer sun. Combining different prints is a big trend this summer and represents good taste.
The kaftan The ultimate beach look is of course the kaftan. Perfect to wear over your bikini or to stroll along the promenade by the yachts. This year, models with ethnic embroidery and tassels are hot. But the ankle-length version is also a must. Choose fabrics that are airy like linen or cotton and be careful with sheer fabrics, as they can quickly look a bit tacky.
4 fashion and beauty tips for a beach holiday
- Leave your hairdryer at home. Your dream hairstyle can't withstand the sea, so go for surfgirl hair during the holiday. Choose a styling product to support the look.
- Be careful with makeup. Try to radiate a natural look . A bit of mascara, blush, and lip gloss will do.
- We assume you know this, but just to be clear: no high heels to the beach. If you must go high, opt for wedge heels.
- Go for airy clothing. Save your cut-off denim shorts for Mykonos or Ibiza.
