Nana Shares Her Holiday Wardrobe Heroes

Printed shirts are a holiday wardrobe hero – easy to style, endlessly versatile and full of personality. From playful stripes to abstract prints, they instantly lift any look. I wear them oversized over a bikini for effortless beach-to-bar appeal or tuck them into tailored shorts for a more polished feel. Lightweight linens and silky fabrics keep things cool and breathable, while punchy colours and graphic motifs channel that carefree, away-from-it-all mood. Adding gold hoops, strappy sandals and a basket bag means I’m holiday-ready in seconds. 

I don’t own a single pair of jeans but denim shorts? I’ve got at least 20. Nothing says effortless summer like the perfect pair of denim cut-offs. They never date. From polished silhouettes that work for rooftop cocktails to relaxed, beach-ready styles, there’s always a couple of pairs in my suitcase. High-waisted shorts with frayed hems give you that undone cool look and can easily be paired with a linen shirt or silky cami. 

I love to have fun with my holiday jewellery – charm-laden, beaded necklaces adorned with shells and little fish are the ultimate nod to sun-soaked escapes. Effortless, playful and perfect for capturing that carefree holiday spirit, these pieces add something extra to every outfit. This season, it's all about refined takes on the trend: think gold-dipped cowries, mother-of-pearl pendants, and delicate shell charms strung on fine chains or woven into raffia cords. Whether layered over a linen shirt or paired with a bikini, these pieces should feel curated and considered, never kitsch.
