Travel in Style

August has hit us and like most of you we will be jetting off on holiday for a few weeks so this is our last post for a month, but we will be back in September to keep you up to date on all the trends, give styling advice and more!

For our last post of the summer I thought we’d share some tips on how to travel both in style and comfort as many of you are no doubt hoping to escape the grey UK summer and soak up some rays on a lovely warm beach somewhere!

A couple of tips for working out what to wear when you’re travelling:

1. Always pack a cardigan, even if its hot when you leave the UK, planes can get very cold during flights, or if your travelling by train or coach, the air con can sometimes be on full blast! This cable knit one from Jigsaw is nice and cosy yet light weight making it easy to pack. £89

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Leggins are always a good shout to put in your handbag or wear underneath skirts or dresses so that they can easily be slipped off when you arrive at your destination if you’re headed to a warm place!

3. Moisturiser – always ensure you put a rich moisturiser on your face and hands before you travel, air travel can really dry out your skin, and the stress that travel can cause, i.e. traffic jams etc it is important to give your skin the hydration it needs to keep yourself looking fresh.

4. T-shrit dresses are one of my favourite items to travel in, they’re easy to throw on, comfortable to wear and look great, try find a t-shirt dress that is long enough to wear with or without tights / leggings. This one from ASOS isn’t to tight, a travel must have! £99

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there you have it, three simple tips to help make your holiday travelling as comfortable as possible.

From all of us at the Lizzie Edwards team we hope you have a lovely summer and we’ll be in touch in September!
