Victoria Beckham’s holiday outfit is a masterclass in looking polished with just two key pieces
One look at her pink floral maxi dress and I’m ready to book another holiday
We're more used to seeing her in sleek pencil dresses, but Victoria Beckham has demonstrated once again that she's just as good at effortless holiday style. Just weeks after she wowed us in a floaty maxi dress and comfy tan sandals, she proved that one statement maxi dress is worth ten separate pieces in your holiday suitcase. In fact, it can pretty much do the work of an entire holiday wardrobe.
She was pictured on holiday in Ibiza with husband David wearing a petal pink floral maci dress layered over a bikini. She finished the look with a $6,900 Loro Piana Lotus Flower Basket Bag and her signature oversized sunglasses. Going barefoot on the beach, it was a far cry from the towering heels she's often pictured wearing.
If you've still got a summer holiday to come, a maxi is just about the best summer dress you could pack. Wear this hard-working piece by day paired with comfortable sandals or white trainers for a spot of sightseeing, and add plenty of gold jewellery for dinner in the evening.
Shop the look
This bag is an investment, but I do think it looks much more expensive than £250! The unique shape and chocolate brown colour are stunning, and it's made by one of our favourite French clothing brands, Sezane.
My favourite handbag is from the Rixo x Dragon Diffusion collection, so I couldn't recommend it more highly. This bag is the ideal size for all your essentials, and one reviewer noted it "tucks perfectly under my arm".
This bargain of a bag has got a top handle or a longer strap. The contrast pom poms are a nice touch, and there's a zip top raffia bag inside to keep your valuables safe.
Victoria's maxi dress is quite sheer, but this one offers that bit more coverage. There are some amazing late summer sales to take advantage of on the high street at the moment and this one is currently half price.
I love the pretty tulip print on this dress, which one reviewer pointed out is perfect for a summer wedding. The scarf detail is very elegant and elevates the whole look.
This dress is fully lined and machine washable, so it's just as practical as it is pretty.
A maxi dress and summer-ready woven bag are two pieces I'll always make space for in my holiday suitcase. The dress will take up minimal space, and the woven bag works just as well with your airport outfit as it does thrown over your shoulder for beach days and evening dinners.
Packing smarter, and getting multiple outfits from one dress is helpful if you're limited on your luggage allowance, but it also just takes all the stress and guesswork out of deciding what to wear each day.
