Dressing up on holiday in 2012


Great menswear options for dressing up on holiday in 2012.
January no doubt feels like a strange old time to be shopping for shorts and swimming trunks, but as off-season beach holidays increase in popularity – and the weather is already starting to simmer in the south of Europe – many thoughts are already turning to early spring holidays

But amidst the mountainous sales piles of chunky knit sweaters and cardigans, Barbour jackets and thick camel coats – how can the current mens designer clothing provide inspiration for dressing up on holiday?

In large department stores – online and in UK cities – thankfully a holiday shop is an almost permanent fixture. What is more, last year’s trend for light cotton chinos and men’s spring trousers has not disappeared, and there are plenty of opportunities to make some wise beach holiday purchases despite the UK’s bleak mid winter. Some of the most popular menswear designers this winter – who have been most noted for their huge cardigans and scarves in the colder months – are nevertheless providing inspiration for holidaywear under the radar. The Horwick casual chino is a classic-cut lighter men’s trouser which is also 30% off for online purchases while stocks last at houseoffraser.co.uk - check out their impressive range of mens designer fashion for more.

Dressing Up on Holiday

Other good value variations on this classic theme are on sale - the vintage-look Criminal chino is reduced to £30, and with a bit more 1920s influence to the waistband, it’ll require little more than a white t-shirt and some leather sandals or flip flops to perfect a day-to-night beachside look. Don’t be tempted to buy a swimwear-esque boardshort or casual short – that’s what your swimming trunks are for – instead, if you’re looking for holiday wear that you’ll want to wear on rare sunny days in the UK, try Ralph Lauren or Skopes neutral look shorts, cut simply and without any extra fuss, toggles or weird additions.
