Dress for the weather to make the most of your staycation
The staycation seems here to stay for the foreseeable future – and as fans of the many wonders of the British Isles will know all too well you need clothing for all eventualities.
Downpours in August and bursts of hot sunshine in October, our island climate could bring two different climates in two days.
So, if you are still waiting to head off on a British holiday from earlier in the year, packing up for your first adventure of the year over half-term, or planning a couple of weeks at home make sure you have the clothes you need.
With a mix of outdoor clothing and fashion stores, Marriotts Walk will help to get you kitted out in no time for whatever adventure awaits.
Be prepared for the weather
The saying is there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing…and to make the most of your time off from work it could be wise to invest in some quality waterproofs. Always choose serious waterproofs that won’t let the rain soak through, however heavy the downpour is. Trespass specialises in outdoor clothing and can kit out the whole family with stylish and effective waterproofs.
If you are planning on a few days walking near to home or are determined to visit the beach whatever the weather waterproof trousers and a waterproof coat are a must! It is also worth checking that your footwear is up to the challenge, so this could be the year for new walking boots to make those hikes more enjoyable.
…and the sunshine
It’s not always bad news on the weather front though, those glorious autumn days of summer make the British countryside look even more beautiful, so pack your sunglasses and choose layers that will let you cool down and wrap up as necessary.
Make layering up easy with comfortable and stylish tops and jumpers from Crew, maybe finished off with a gilet for added warmth to beat the chill on coastal evenings.
If you are heading for a much-needed luxury stay in a hotel or planning a mini-city break, why not splash out on a new outfit to make you feel fabulous after all that time spent at home. Hobbs and Phase Eight will offer inspiration for all occasions, whether you’re going all out in the glamour stakes or looking for a perfect smart casual outfit.
Don’t forget the kids
There is nothing that can take the shine off an autumnal day out like a cold child. If you don’t want to face a crescendo of complaining, layers and a thick coat or suit are vital.
JoJo Maman Bébé has an excellent selection of all-weather clothing that will keep your child toasty, warm and dry whatever the British climate has to throw at them. Waterproof dungarees and polar fleeces could just save the day!
Staying at home?
For the many families choosing to stay close to home this year, a break from work will allow you time to get stuck into the gardening, enjoy local walks or just chill out in front of the TV. Fat Face has a selection of clothes that includes super comfy loungewear or stylish activewear to kit you out to look good and feel good whatever you choose to do.
A staycation is an excellent way to take it easy and indulge your favourite pastimes, so while you may not be going away this year there is still every reason to splash on clothes that will allow you to make the most of your time off.
