‘Viral' co-ords, supermarket steals and prices from just £2.50: the fashion team reveal what to pack for your holiday
Check out this brilliant supermarket swimwear for just £20 The Fash Pack 'Viral' co-ords, supermarket steals and prices from just £2.50: the fashion team reveal what to pack for your holiday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PACKING for a holiday isn't always the easiest of tasks. Finding your passport, checking the weather and remembering the travel adapter - let alone deciding what to wear for a whole week - takes a lot of planning. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Luckily, the high street is full of stylish summer pieces to oomph up your holiday wardrobe. Whether you're going on a UK staycation or a far-flung getaway, the fashion team has you covered, as they reveal what's in their suitcases this summer. Tracey Lea Sayer, 53, Fashion Director 4 Tracey's vibrant holiday picks are all about light layers and fun accessories - perfect for Morocco Credit: For my long weekend away in Marrakesh with only hand-luggage, I'm going for warm, rustic colours and long, loose layers, topped off with a big, bold sunhat to hit the medina. My go-to in the heat is always linen. These striped trousers from Next, teamed with the tie-back top, are perfect for keeping cool when the temperature soars. I also love adding texture to my summer looks: viral cornelli detailing on an evening co-ord, a mother-of pearl embellished clutch and resin multicoloured earrings can be mixed and matched, and will take your daytime looks through to evening. Oh, and don't forget a neck scarf - wear it with everything from your bikini to your floaty summer frock. Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor 4 Abby is safari-ready with her top-holiday picks Credit: I love matching my wardrobe to my surroundings, so planning my holiday outfits always brings me great joy. Jetting off to the sandy beaches and jungles of Sri Lanka means I'm going for tropical swimwear, graphic T-shirts, and earthy tones to match my exotic surroundings. Loose trousers with elasticated waistbands are a must to be comfortable and flowy, as well as flat sandals to explore in. Practical items can still be stylish, too - I adore this check bucket hat from John Lewis and super-cool sunglasses from Le Specs. Clemmie Fieldsend, 34, Fashion Editor 4 Clemmie is packing smart for the unpredictable British weather in Norfolk Credit: As we all know, the British seaside can mean rain or sunshine - or even both at the same time - so for my staycation, I'll be covering all bases with light fabrics and layering pieces. A wind-resistant jacket, a sweatshirt for warmth and of course sandals and shorts are all must-packs. I try to add pieces that I know I can dress up or dress down and will work for every occasion - be it a blustery beach day or a promenade stroll with ice cream in hand - and this lovely lot just does that. Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant 4 Emily is ready to hit the city of love in true 'Emily in Paris' style! Credit: I'm hoping to get away on a city break to Paris this summer. I've visited the city a few times before, and one thing's for sure, the French have great style, so my outfit game needs to be strong. For my trip to the French capital, I'll be channeling the Emily in Paris aesthetic (of course!) with colourful stripes and luxe bouclé - though I draw the line at a beret... Since I'll likely be travelling with just hand luggage, I've picked a selection of versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched.

Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor 5 Abby paired polka dots with this gorgeous M&S bag that's flying off the shelves Credit: Dress, £99, Nobody's Child - Shoes, £35.99, Zara - Bag, £39.50, M&S Collection at Marks & Spencer - Necklace, £26, Oliver Bonas - Sunglasses, £9.99, H&M - read more in shopping Polka dots seem to be one of those prints that stand the test of time, so if you have any in your wardrobe you can wear them time and time again. Advertisement I love polka dots for an occasion as I think they look really classy, and this dress from The ruched detailing down the front is super-flattering and you can wear it strapless or with straps, depending on your preference. I've decided to go double dotty and pair with these kitten heels from Zara - the contrast of the monochrome reversed on these compared to the dress adds another dimension to the look. Most read in Fabulous I'm finishing off the look with a pop of colour in this fun floral red bag from M&S, some gold jewellery and a pair of sunnies.

When I first saw this monochrome blouse from Zara I fell for it, it's more than just a spotty top - it's practically a cape. I'll be wearing it on warm summer evenings out for cocktails and catch-ups with my girlfriends, as well as on holiday. Advertisement The cape gives it an elevated feel that adds oomph to an outfit with no effort and a pussy-bow blouse feels sophisticated and feminine all at the same time. I'm pairing it with wide-leg white jeans for a summer vibe and heeled sandals for a chic, timeless outfit. It's all polished off with simple accessories, like this gorgeous cuff from Reiss that will finish any look and a raffia clutch from Cos that I will use all summer and for future summers to come.

Back then it was all about the colour clashing, bold prints and looking as out-there as possible. Style icons Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and Prince all rocked dots and looked amazing, and designers like Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana have made them their own, but I have never been able to find a modern-day 2025 spin on the trend that works for me. Fast-forward 30 years and I think I still associate polka dots with the '80s in all its gory, clashing glory! Advertisement They either transport me back in time or look too girlie on me - this ensemble is as close as I can get to giving them a go. I like the oversized print on this Next ironically, puffball, top! Wearing voluminous sleeves always helps my non-existent waist and I love a pair of white high-waisted wide-leg trousers for the summer. Add in a red lip, some cool flats and a pair of sunnies and I am prepared to give polka dots a go for the first time since 1989!

It's the ideal piece for just about any summer occasion. Whether you're heading to a garden party, packing for your holiday or dressing it up for the races or a christening, it's an incredibly versatile piece. Advertisement I've doubled up my polka dots with this contrasting pair of heels from Zara, a classic fedora, and oversized square sunglasses for that chic, old-money aesthetic. Why Everyone Is Loving M&S Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.'
