August Bank Holiday: What to do and what to wear...
August 2024’ has been glorious so far! The UK has been treated to sunny spells and high temperatures and we are not complaining. With many of us yearning to be outside, watching the sunny days pass by from the windows of our 9-5’s, the upcoming August bank holiday must be taken advantage of!
Three days to soak up the sun before Autumn arrives, we have put together a list of activities to make the most out of the time off, and of course, some outfit inspiration alongside them.
Cocktail Night
Going out for cocktails is always a good idea! Who doesn’t love getting dressed up and sipping a fruity drink? With the Monday being free to recover from a potential hangover, it’s the perfect excuse.
The Karen summery sandals are perfect for the occasion. The weave covered wedge is comfortable and lightweight, and adds a summary touch to complete your look while the nights are light.
Pair with a dressy jumpsuit and neutral bag for an effortless look.
Family Fun
Wanting to spend some quality time with your nearest and dearest this bank holiday weekend? Whether it be a trip to the park, a fun museum or a visit to the beach front, creating memories with family is always a lovely way to spend the weekend.
Running after little ones means one thing; sensible shoes. The Wisdom trainers are super comfortable without compromising on style, sporting a trendy platform sole and two zip fastenings.
Style simply with a pair of blue denim jeans and T-shirt for a put-together on-the-go outfit.
BBQ
Enjoy August bank holiday the traditional way with a good old-fashioned BBQ. Fire up the grill, plug in the aux and invite over your favourite people; whether it’s a small gathering or more of a party, a BBQ is always fun. Introduce some fun party games or make some mocktails to up your hosting game.
Entertain in style in the Rich sandals. Ideal for all things smart casual, with a low wedge heel to elevate any outfit.
Wear with a printed maxi skirt and T-shirt to see out the summer in style.
City Break
Being treated to an extra day this coming weekend means more time to explore somewhere new. Book a last minute trip to a city you’ve never been to before! Take in the sights, try new restaurants and attend a local attraction; staycation or a city abroad, if you can embrace a spontaneous trip, take the opportunity.
Comfort is key when it comes to city breaks, which is why we would recommend the Daphne sandal. Easily styled from day to night and equipped for comfort, this pair should serve you well.
Wear with some denim shorts and a floaty shirt over a tank top for a chic and comfortable look.
Festival
August bank holiday weekend is packed full of music events and festivals to enjoy. Dance the weekend away to your favourite songs, embracing nature and eating quality street food. With events being held up and down the UK, you’re bound to find something you’ll enjoy.
Being on your feet all day and wanting to look stylish can be tricky, but not with the Hay biker boot. These trendy boots are perfect for a festival, as a part of our Best Fitting range they provide an ultra-comfy fit.
Style with a printed mini dress and crossbody bag. If you’re craving more outfit inspiration read our concert styling 101 blog!
