Get beach ready: here's your capsule holiday wardrobe for under £150
Emma McCarthy8 July 2014

There are two things we Brits love: a beach and a bargain. Put the two together and you’ve got one seriously happy holidaymaker. But before getting onto the subject of cut-cost airlines and discount hotels, we must first consider our suitcase. Because no matter how cheap the all-inclusives are, you’ll have little change to spare for ice-cream and after-sun if you’re forking out three figures on a bikini.

But there is a way to scrimp — without skimping — on your holiday wardrobe: seek out the high street. Specifically, buys that will take you from the beach to bar and back again without breaking the bank, preferably all while fitting snugly into our (no additional cost) carry-on cases.

From the perfect pool slides to the cheaper-than-a-pina-colada-at-the-beach-bar sun dress and the evening jumpsuit to suit any budget, here’s your capsule holiday wardrobe for under £150. Or £149.62, to be exact.
