Beachwear

<-h2->Cover-ups, kaftans and beach dresses<-h2-> Half of holiday dressing happens out of the water, which is exactly where beachwear earns its place. This trending collection pulls together cover ups, kaftans, sarongs, denim shorts and beach dresses designed to live alongside the swimwear already in the case, whether that means contrast print, a matching pair or something plain set against strong colour. Cotton dries fast, light jersey packs flat, and a sarong does far more than its size suggests. Denim shorts carry the walk back from the water, and a long beach dress takes the same afternoon straight into the evening without much interference. Pieces separate and recombine without much thought, which is how a handful of them stretch across a fortnight. The appeal is not really in the outfit, it is in the ease: sand still on your feet at lunch, a kaftan thrown on over nothing much, hair drying in the heat. She is not packing for photographs. She is packing for a fortnight she intends to enjoy properly. Ease is the only thing worth making room for.
