Summer time is here and the Pamela Scott team are so excited to bring to you every fashion savvy item you need to create your very own holiday capsule wardrobe. 

We are here to support in overcoming any stresses when it comes to knowing what clothes to pack for those trips abroad. 

Having the right holiday checklist will help take the stress away from luggage and cabin bag restrictions, and over packed suitcases that just won’t zip up.

Packing lightly will also take the pressure off from any airport delays, overcrowding, and waiting in long queues and at airport lounges. The less items you carry with you the more care free your travels will be.

Therefore, we at Pamela Scott have the essential 10 pieces you need for your next summer trip. We have carefully chosen versatile items for a stylish yet comfortable holiday capsule wardrobe; we suggest that your investment in summer clothing goes on multifunctional items that can easily transition from day to night. 

For example our Zapara Aztec Cardigan’s and Emporium vibrant printed shirt dress can be worn as a chic cover-up by the pool, or a light jacket on those outdoor sunset evenings with a cool sea breeze.

Whichever way you prefer to spend your well earned summer holidays, whether it’s lounging by the pool, exploring sunny cities or going on daily excursions; keep your outfits simple with a select handful of essentials. You do not need the extra pair of shoes or the endless choices of bikini’s!

The goal is to be able to easily and quickly change from one outfit to another. We are offering you wearable and re-wearable styles that are essential for the summer season because you can wear each item over and over again without getting bored of your super cool Pamela Scott summer style.

 Not-Too-Short Shorts

Go for linen, cotton chino style, and denim as they will go with everything and are perfect for sunny weather. You can wear them with blouses tucked in and some sandals in the evening, or just a cami, sun hat , and some sandals for a laid back daytime look. When choosing style length of your not-too-short shorts it’s best to go where your thighs start to narrow; any higher and there’s too much width on display, any lower and it can look a bit frumpy.

 

   

 

White or Light Denim Jeans

Why not treat yourself to a pair of our top selling jeans! We are loving our Lisa Lust NYDJ Jeans, our Ab Solution Democracy Jeans and of course Gerry Weber. We have lots of choice making it easy for you to find the perfect style; given there are so many different silhouettes, cuts and washes available, plus sizing can vary depending on the brand, we would suggest trying on a few different pairs. The best pairs of jeans are the ones you want to live in and wear again and again – and they get better every time you slip them on. 

 

 

Spacious Bags for the Beach and Beyond

 Our Tote Bags are back in Stock!!

Our Contrast Tote Bags are not just for the beach. These lightweight bags are perfect for all kinds of holiday occasions where you want to add a bohemian style touch – and we love how they look with our gorgeous summer dresses. If you’re worried about security don’t panic, these goodies have zippers! 

 

 

 Hot Weather Tops, Tanks and Camis

A throw-on shirt is ideal for layering over a swimsuit in the day and wearing with shorts in the evening – it even doubles as a lightweight jacket to style over summer dresses. When it comes to cut anything oversized goes, but stick to lightweight fabrics such as linen and cotton to make sure yours is cool and airy.

 

 

Lightweight Pants or Maxi Skirt

A true summer staple is the midaxi skirt which can be easily elevated from casual daywear to a more evening-appropriate look – simply by switching out a T-shirt for a delicate camisole and adding a swipe of lipstick. You can choose whether you want to make a statement with leopard prints or stick to more versatile satin khakis or linen beige. Our go-to is the Leo print maxi skirt with our white cami, which is both effortlessly chic and ultra comfy.
