The UK’s August weather is finally giving us the summer feels; if you have a Cornwall staycation in the pipeline, this is your Cornish coast style guide for summer 2024.
Whether you’re staying in a boutique hotel and exploring the quaint towns, are a water-lover parking yourself at the beach, or are planning walks around the countryside, these are the pieces to pack for a British trip to remember – and we’re focusing on the best of British brands, too.
What To Wear Exploring The Towns
The British weather can be unpredictable, but a pair of relaxed cotton trousers will be your best friend. Wear with a T-shirt or blouse during the day, or with chunky knitwear in the evening around the campfire. Birkenstocks are a sartorial style staple too, especially for coastal or country stays.
What To Wear To The Beach
A linen co-ord will always have your back for easy styling, and British brand With Nothing Underneath do it best. Layer over your swimwear for days spent at the beach, and pair with the nostalgic return of jelly shoes to protect pedicures on pebble shores.
What To Wear For A Cliff-Side Hike
The Cornish coast has stretches of beautiful scenery, steep cliffs and shingle coves that you’ll want to explore. Athleisure heroes Adanola will have you covered in that department – their versatile pieces taking you from long walks to long brunches. Bring a comfortable backpack for essentials, like a swimsuit and towel incase you find a hidden cove to swim in.
What To Wear For A Fun Day Out
Whether you’re taking your kids to the fun fair followed by ice cream, or having a grown-up day of food tasting and shopping, denim shorts and a logo tee are cute and comfortable. A tea dress from Rixo is perfect for hot summer days, but be sure to pack a rain appropriate jacket from Barbour incase the weather turns.
