The mid-year break is nearly here, which means a breezy wardrobe refresh is in order! Looking for vacay-ready outfit inspiration? Here, Joo Chiat boutique La Tienda’s owner EVA VIDAL pulls together four Mediterranean-inspired looks, perfect whether you’re jetting off with the family or planning a sunny staycation here in Singapore.
4 easy ensembles from La Tienda
Outfit inspiration #1: Breezy brunch dates
Nothing says “vacay-ready” like a playful midi dress. Perfect for a sunny stroll or a long, lazy brunch, this look is all about relaxed femininity. Pair a soft, patterned dress with comfortable metallic espadrilles for all-day walkability, with a statement handbag, like this gorgeous soft blue piece featuring a whimsical golden bee detail, as the ideal finishing touch.
Outfit inspiration #2: Tropical state of mind
Embrace the resort-wear vibe wherever you are! Crisp whites and tropical prints are a match made in summer heaven. Pair a delicate white eyelet top with a flowing midi skirt featuring beautiful block-printed palm trees. Then, complete this ensemble with a vibrant, handcrafted crossbody bag to add a splash of Mediterranean colour, plus classic gold wedge espadrilles that keep things comfortably chic.
Outfit inspiration #3: Bohemian traveller
For the wanderer at heart, layering rich textures and earthy tones is the key to effortless style. A relaxed, olive-green blouse tucked into an artisan printed maxi skirt creates a silhouette that moves beautifully in the breeze. Accessorise with bold, chunky beaded necklaces, stacked bracelets, a sun hat and a timeless woven basket bag – the ultimate travel companion.
Outfit inspiration #4: Summer nights and city lights
Who says black isn’t for summer? A sleek, ribbed midi dress is the ultimate canvas for a balmy evening out. To transition effortlessly from sunset cocktails to a romantic dinner, it’s all about the accessories. Elevate the silhouette with striking gold earrings and a textured black handbag. Finish with strappy metallic wedges that add a touch of glamour while letting you dance the night away in comfort.
