Sunnies. Whatever you do, do not forget those shades! With sunlight reflecting off the glistening water day after day you really must keep those eyes protected! Not to mention, you can look super cool whilst doing so. Handy hint wooden frames are all the rage. Inspired by the surf-life and with an aim to capture the ultimate summer feel, wooden frames are a modern yet timeless design bringing an element of nature to you. Plus, they go with pretty much everything and you dont have to spend a fortune on the Ray Ban versions -go to any funky market scene and I guarantee youll find some there, or alternatively, check out ASOS!
Sun Cream. I know, you want that perfect deep golden tan. BUT that doesnt mean you should let your skin get all spotty and leathery from UV damage! Sun cream myth no.1: it prevents you from achieving a tan. Absolutely not. Sun cream allows you to achieve a gradual tan minus the unsightly red burn and scaly peeling Le Tan SPF Coconut Lotion is the most deliciously-scented sun cream that is non-greasy yet moisturising, 4 hours water resistant and has a UVA/UVB broad spectrum. You cant go wrong!
Hats. Caps. Both. Ladies, the vintage straw boater is always a classic summer look or if you prefer felt/material, any wide-rimmed hat does the job. Guys, a classic cap will suffice if thats what youre in to, but if youre more daring try sporting a fedora, theyve really made a show this year.
Water-proof watch. Leave your delicate clockwork at home. What you need is a sturdy time-device that fits in perfectly with your scenery. If you havent already heard of them, O-clock watches are the perfect combination of visually-appealing yet minimalist and are affordable, waterproof and available in 15 different colours (packaged in a super cute pop-top tin).
-Lip Balm. Forget peeling lips, remember lip balm (that includes you too boys). For perfectly kissable lips make sure your balm has SPF Palmers cacao butter balm and Blistex Ultra are always safe options.
Bare Minerals. For the ladies who love their makeup. This five ingredient mineral powder is a full-coverage foundation, concealer and illuminator all in one. Plus, with no harmful ingredients you can sleep in it without fearing a break out. Bare minerals mingles with sweat beautifully to give an appealing glow (unlike the other stuff that goes cluggy and gross..) and it even has a light SPF. One little powder to just top up as required and thats really all youll need!
Bikinis/Boardies. You will be living in these. Girls, pack your bikinis all of them! Also, this trip is the best excuse to buy new sets Check out triangl swimwear for the latest bikini trends. Guys, retro surf-style boardies are all the rage, you probably think ASOS is for the girls but their mens collection is pretty impressive. Check it out.
Airy blouses/flowy dresses/Hawaiian shirts/ Cotton singlets. Keep it light, keep it loose. Buttons are great, so you can open them up and let your skin breathe. Think boho, beach-bum styles. Spice things up with crocheted crop tops and/or balinese sarongs.
Sandals/Thongs/Boat shoes. Durable and comfy is the way to go. Pack your trusty Havianas and comfiest slip-ons and youre all set.
Youll probably appear in lots of Yacht Week Photos but keeping it simple, comfy, practical yet stylish means youre always photo ready (dont forget the sun cream, you dont want to look like a freshly cooked lobster!) Also, embrace the sea-hair, its actually a sought-after look.
Weve all experienced the dreaded feeling of having dirty, oily hair, and having no opportunity to give it a wash before having to make another public appearance. Be it going for drink after a long day at work, meeting some friends after a quick gym session, or just dealing with humidity on a hot summers day; nobody likes looking or feeling sticky with gross, oily hair.
