Your Bank Holiday Outfits – See Out August in Style

Thanks to the changing weather, you may have already dipped into your autumn wardrobe, but summer looks set to make a comeback, with the next few weeks calling for those summer wardrobe must-haves. This article covers your August bank holiday essential outfits, from hot dogs on the patio to canapes at sunset.

Festival Threads

Bank holidays are a great time to unwind at a festival – whether it be music, film, food or beer. There’s nothing quite like spending time in a field with like-minded people and soaking up the festival atmosphere. Perhaps the biggest bank holiday festival in the UK is the Reading and Leeds Festival, which takes place 25th-27th August. If you are heading to a field at the end of the month, be sure to pack for comfort and convenience.

First things first – check the weather forecast! Sturdy boots that will survive a bit of rain are a festival staple item. These leather Chelsea boots are festival-friendly and look amazing with a summer dress, denim shorts or leggings. Festivals often mean many hours outdoors, so dresses and tops that cover the shoulder are a smart move to limit the risk of burning. Add a bucket hat, and you will be throwing your hands in the air to your favourite tunes, looking every bit the festival veteran. If you are camping, you will want to keep your valuables and essentials on your person. Enter the bum bag – big enough for your essentials and looks fabulous with festival attire.

Beach Day Gems

If you’re heading to the beach this August bank holiday, why not do it in style? Flip flops or sliders are a must – the beach is no place for socks or heels, but a few other essential items should go with you. Sun lotion, towel, snacks, water, phone and keys can safely sit in this beautiful beach bag while you test the waves and catch some rays.

Bikinis that fit nicely are your friend, and can’t you just see yourself dipping in the water in this two-piece? And for when you want to lie back on your towel and read the latest beach read, this patchwork cover-up will make you the envy of the coastline. Beach fashion is about turning the basics into showstoppers, all you need is the right combination of practicality and glamour, and you win the bank holiday beach catwalk 2023.

Barbecue Sizzlers

The August bank holiday is the perfect time for a barbecue. The last long weekend of the warmer months comes with a euphoric atmosphere, and you simply cannot beat the smell of great barbecue food, but what do you wear? The first thing to consider when choosing your barbecue outfit is the fit. Let’s face it, you will likely be eating a fair bit of food, so the last thing you need is to feel restricted or uncomfortable. This is why a loose-fitting wrap dress is ideal for the occasion. Team it with a thin cardigan or cropped denim jacket if the event spills into the evening or there is a summer breeze.

Add some effortless style with subtle high-fashion pieces that lift the ensemble, such as these geometric sunglasses. As it’s important to be comfortable when sipping Pimms, choose footwear that lets you easily walk across uneven terrain. You don’t want the heels of your nice new shoes sinking into the lawn! These stunning leather sandals are the right blend of comfort and style.

See the last warm bank holiday of 2023 out with timeless fashion and add some summer must-haves to your wardrobe. Whatever you have planned for the long weekend, be sure to do it in style.
