THE FRASERS EDIT: CHASING THE WINTER SUN
Holiday-ready fashion and beauty for every moment of your warm-weather escape.
When winter calls for an escape, nothing answers quite like a dose of sunshine. From slow beach mornings to poolside afternoons, spontaneous exploring and evenings that stretch long after sunset, a winter-sun getaway is all about slipping into holiday mode.
For this edition of the FRASERS Edit, we’ve curated the fashion and beauty essentials to take you from shoreline to dinner plans with ease. Wherever you’re headed, these five holiday moments are your cue to pack smart, dress light and make every sun-soaked day count.

THE BEACH CLUB
The first beach day of a winter-sun escape always one to remember. Stepping onto warm sand, the sound of the water in the background, and the quiet satisfaction of finally turning off email alerts and switching into holiday mode. It’s the kind of setting that calls for pieces that feel effortless yet considered: a relaxed one-piece like the Anine Bing Jace Scoop Neck Swimsuit, a woven tote thrown over your shoulder, and a sun-shielding hat to finish the look with understated polish.
Beauty follows the same philosophy. A high-protection SPF such as Clarins Sun Care Body Cream SPF 50 keeps skin cared for under stronger sun, while a subtle glow enhancer and a soothing after-sun ritual ensure the day ends as well as it began.
AFTER HOURS
Evenings on holiday bring their own special energy. The heat softens, the sky turns golden, and getting ready for dinner becomes part of the ritual. It’s a moment for pieces that feel polished yet effortless, from a flowing statement dress like the Odd Muse Ultimate Muse Collar Maxi Dress with subtle jewellery and heels, to a crisp shirt such as the Barbour Oxtown Shirt paired with classic boat shoes for a relaxed but refined look for him.
Beauty mirrors the mood: a perfected base, a touch of colour, and a warm fragrance like Givenchy L’Interdit Eau de Toilette to carry you through sunset drinks and late dinners.
POOLSIDE STYLE
Poolside days fall into an easy rhythm. A quick dip, hours in the sun, and the slow move between lounger and shade. Think relaxed but considered: effortless sandals, oversized sunglasses like these Coach frames, and a standout towel such as the Missoni Home beach towel to elevate the setup. For men, sharp swim shorts like the BOSS Turtle Swim Shorts with Polo Ralph Lauren slides keep things polished enough for a stop at the bar after.
WANDER READY
Sightseeing days are made for getting pleasantly lost, so the outfit needs to keep up. Think easy staples like a striped Levi’s tee and relaxed shorts, or a lightweight Tommy Hilfiger shirt with chinos for men, finished with comfortable Dune London sandals and timeless Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Keep beauty simple too: a smoothing base, a quick spritz of Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray, and a fresh hair mist for an on-the-go polish. Because when the plan is to explore all day, the best look is one you don’t have to think twice about.
AWAY WE GO
Some days are made for venturing further afield. Boat trips, coastal walks or spontaneous plans that turn into the highlight of the holiday. The key is dressing for comfort without losing style: supportive trainers like the New Balance 530, easy active layers such as a Girlfriend Collective sports bra or a BOSS performance tee, and a reliable backpack like The North Face Borealis to carry the day’s essentials (water bottle included).
From sunrise swims to sunset dinners, holiday style is all about ease, confidence and a touch of glow. Pack well, dress lightly, and let the sunshine do the rest.
