When it comes to beach holidays, it’s not easy looking photo ready all the time. When on a summer holiday, it can be difficult to plan ahead while still looking fashion forward. From day to night, we’ve rounded up some top tips to help you gents with your holiday wardrobe.
One thing’s for sure when you’re on your holidays, and that’s the knowledge that your stint in the sun in hard on your hair. With all the sun, sweat and salt water, the best-kept barnet can be forgotten on the beach. Comb conditioner through your hair (look out for product with a built-in SPF) before you head out in the morning, and it’ll stay soft and manageable all day.
When it comes to footwear, be sure to think before you go overboard on the strappy sandals. Flip-flops might be brilliant for the beach, but don’t be tempted to wear them out clubbing, unless you’re prepared to get your toes trodden on every few seconds on the dancefloor! Vans or Converse look stylish and protect your feet.
Nothing kills an outfit quite like a rucksack or even worse, a bum bag, be sure to avoid any sort of man bag and instead opt for trousers or jackets with large hidden pockets, so you can easily hide your holiday essentials. It’ll also leave you less susceptible to crime. And as package holidays are for partying, if you’re heading out on the town, on the lash or on the pull, you want to look the part. But dancing all night also means staying cool and comfortable – you’ll only look as good as you feel.
Many of the posher clubs in party cities have a strict dress code – turn up in shorts and you’ll be left standing outside the door, so check before you pack. Equally, there are clubs that charge higher entry fees on their theme nights if you aren’t in fancy dress, so do your homework!
