M&S Style Evolution

Now I have chosen an ivory jacket here. I am all for breaking the rules of “no white at weddings unless you’re the bride”, so long as you don’t wear a white dress. A white skirt or jacket with a colour block is perfectly acceptable these days. The shape of this jacket is effortlessly chic and will be a great coverup for a city break or dinner out during your honeymoon. A clutch box bag is always a winner at a wedding. It comes with a chain for chic wearing over the shoulder during the day, but you can tuck at that in at night and dance the night away whilst clutching it in your hand.

M&S Capsule Honeymoon Wardrobe

Whether you are jetting off to the Maldives for two weeks utter relaxation in an amazing setting, hitting the european cities with tours, shopping and culture or heading on a road trip across America. A capsule honeymoon wardrobe is what you need. One that you can mix and match key pieces to suit the sun, the city, dinner at the beach or at glamourous restaurant. Here are my key pieces for a honeymoon wardrobe.

• Breton Stripe Sweater – you can’t go wrong with this for day time chic with cropped trousers or throwing over your maxi dress when the nights get cool at the beach bar
• Jersey maxi dress – easy to throw on over your swimwear when you head to lunch, perfect for rolling up into your suitcase as you pack your bag for your road trip
• Printed cropped trousers – can add a touch of smart for your city break, dinner out in the city or your “off to the airport outfit” – I’d pack cotton trousers over jeans for your honeymoon.
• Cotton T shirt – you can’t go wrong with a staple cotton t shirt, work it with a denim skirt, cotton trousers or over your maxi dress for an easy day look
• Denim Skirt – allows you the luxury of denim, without the weight. Easy to throw on with some trainers when you head for a walk around the local vineyard. Works for a day trip out on a boat or sightseeing in the city.

• Cashmere Blanket Wrap – trust me, even if you’re off to 34 degrees in the sun, this wrap will be a godsend on the aeroplane. Easy to fold and use as a pillow if needed, it will keep you warm in the air-conditioned plane. You might find it comes in useful once the sun goes down if you’re in a city, out at the beach or off to an open air concert.
• Trainers – perfect plimsoll flats, easy to throw on, scoot around your destination and not have tired feet
• Stylish Flats – work with maxi dresses, cropped trousers, skirts – go for a bold colour to boost your wardrobe from the floor up
• White Messenger Bag – a stylish number that will be great as your hand luggage bag; fitting in water, guide book, your phone, wallet, passport – great for city breaks, destination honeymoons or exploring a new country; the closed top messenger style allows a little extra security when travelling

Here I am styling out two really simple pieces to pop in your honeymoon luggage:

• White Skirt – Great for weddings but also perfect for stylish dinners with your new husband
• Vest Top – this works great with the white skirt, tuck it in for a stylish look but wear during the day with your denim skirt or cropped trousers for a relaxed glamour style
