How Can I Look my Best on Holiday?
When taking a trip abroad, you want to look your best as well as feel comfortable in whatever you’re wearing. Silk dresses are a stylish option, instilled with a grown-up elegance that can benefit you no matter where you choose to venture abroad. Silk dresses have the versatility to look good during casual evening strolls and trips to local restaurants, as well as events such as beach weddings.
When on holiday, consider vibrant, playful colour patterns to help you get the most out of your summer attire. Our Celia full skirt silk dress in yellow is a bold option for beach holidays, carefully refined to provide ultimate versatility and elevation.

Although silk is a beautifully refined fabric, it can be delicate, so make sure you avoid placing your silk dress at the bottom of your suitcase to avoid creases and indentations, and hang up your dress as soon as you arrive in your hotel.

Is a Designer Silk Dress Good for Hot Weather?
Silk is exceptionally lightweight and breathable, ensuring you are comfortable when walking, relaxing and dancing in hot weather. Our Flora A-line silk dress in green is the quintessential choice for your holiday evening wear, with a signature print and bold colour palette that is bound to stand out during a city visit or an exotic break away. Its lightweight feel and detachable belt provide this dress with much-needed practicality in warm weather, and it can be matched with a small heel or pump to complete the look.
Silk is known to be a natural temperature regulator, which is why it is a firm favourite in designer, sophisticated dress choices. It has the ability to maintain body temperature during warm summer nights; even as the temperature drops, it can retain heat, creating an enduring style that can last throughout the seasons. Silk is ideal when choosing a destination wedding dress; our Filomena silk full skirt shirt dress is perfect for your big day, with an exemplary silk shine and breathable properties to help you look elegant and feel comfortable.

Despite its delicate appearance, silk is a strong, natural fibre material, ensuring your designer silk dress will be a friend for your wardrobe for many years. Silk holiday dresses will stand the test of time and never go out style, so you can take your new dress all around the world with you, wearing it on boat trips, city walks and evening beach strolls alike.
How Do I Transition a Silk Dress from Day to Evening Wear?
A designer silk holiday dress, although seen to be more suited to a formal nighttime setting, has the versatility to be worn during the day too, especially to events and special occasions. During the day, a sophisticated silk dress can help you stand out and make a statement, but can also be paired with a designer handbag and heel to accompany you during the evening too.
If you are looking for a beach wedding guest dress, our Fleur silk full skirt shirt dress is a chic option, and can be paired with a refined hat and sandal to complete the look. Available in striking purple, this dress can also be your-go to choice for a graduation dress or Ascot attire, and would blend in perfectly during the evening when matched with a handbag such as our Darcey medium leather purse.
During the day, your silk dress could be worn when dining out or attending a boat party, with the sleeves rolled up for extra comfort. Our Eliza V neck silk dress in pink is a stand-out summer outfit, with a bold, vibrant colour pattern to get you into that much-anticipated summer feeling. You can pair this dress with our Celia chain strap evening bag, adding an extra touch of elegance to an already timeless design.
