Bank Holiday Outfits - Top Picks For 2025
Bank holidays are not just a good opportunity to break free from the mundane, and take a short trip. They are also the perfect excuse to step up your style game.
With several bank holidays next year, get ahead of the trends and refresh your wardrobe
Whether heading to a garden party, a weekend getaway, or just lounging with family and friends, here are our best pieces that can be worn throughout the seasons.
Keeping It Casual
The Shirt Dress
A shirt dress is a classic go-to for indulging in a long coffee with some bites with your girl squad.
It’s easy to style, flattering on all body types, and perfect for either indoor or outdoor spaces.
The Co-Ord
Alternatively, go for a smart shirt with paired trousers. It’s the ideal option for your spring and summer bank holidays.
You’ll be well put-together, casual and stylish at the same time. Slip on your espadrilles, add some fancy jewellery and enjoy your free time.
The Strapless Midi Dress
The strapless midi dress embodies practicality and femininity in just one piece.
You can bring along a light jacket or a knit cardigan if the weather is chilly. You can accessorise it with a scarf around your neck or a trendy belt for a more elevated look.
The Classic Jeans & Tee
The all-time classic look that never goes out of fashion and offers you comfort, highlighting the mood “I have a day off work” - I don’t have to dress up in a suit.
Opt for coloured denim and a fancy T-shirt, and put on your sneakers to enjoy your strolls, window-shopping and leisure coffees comfortably. If needed, wrap a jumper over your shoulders or take a light jacket with you.
The Knit Co-Ord
Go trendy with this outfit, especially during colder weather. It’s knit, thus warmer, with the fashionable touch of fringes.
It offers an elegant outfit with a twist, while its hot red colour highlights the festive mood of the day. Will you dare wear it for a chic dinner out?
The Maxi Skirt & Tee
Dinner celebrations require a bit of an elevated look. You don’t have to overdo it, though.
A satin maxi skirt with a graphic tee offers a balanced look, combining effortlessly casual and luxe for fun and fine dining.
The Sequin Dress
Ok, this is the absolute bank holiday fit. It’s glamorous, sexy and simply stunning. Perfect for parties around Christmas time.
Put on your red lipstick and get ready for the party!!
