Going Nautical for your Riviera retreat

Nautical-themed clothing has a timeless, classic aesthetic that is always in style but that style is set to reach higher tides in 2023. The classic navy and white colour scheme, anchor motifs, and stripes are all elements that have been popular in fashion for decades and are still going strong and what’s more if you happen to get whisked away on a yacht during your travels you’ll be dressed appropriately. 

Light, airy fabrics

As the weather starts to warm up on the Riviera, opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and chiffon. These materials will keep you cool and comfortable, and are perfect for the laid-back, beachy vibe of the rivieras’.

Bright, cheerful colours or Soft chic pastels?

Spring is all about bringing colour and cheer back into your wardrobe after a long, drab winter. Opt for bold, vibrant shades like cobalt, tandoori red, and goji berry to add some pop to your vacation outfits. 

As for softer tones key pastels for 2023 spring fashion include Zephyr pink, Chipmunk and Jadeite contrasted with some strong blacks to add definition and create a silhouette. These tones were perfect for the cliff top meadows of the Croatian coast. 

Ground Breaking Floral prints

Florals are a classic choice for spring. Floral patterns have been really blooming in 2023 as spring fashion heavy hitters such as Maria Grazia Chiuri have bought ground-breaking nouveau Classique florals inspired by the renaissance women Catherine De Medici to the fore for Dior in their Pre-Spring Collection. 

This would be especially fitting for a spring frolic on the coast. Whether you opt for a classic flowy sundress or an edgier pair of patterned cargo shorts, floral prints are sure to add a touch of whimsy to your vacation style.

Sunglasses

No spring vacation is complete without a pair of stylish sunglasses. Opt for classic aviators, round frames, or oversized, statement-making styles to protect your eyes from the bright Mediterranean sun.

Beach-friendly footwear

Sandals, flip-flops, and espadrilles are all great options for a holiday on the French Riviera. Look for styles with cushioned soles for comfort, and choose neutral colours like beige, white, or black that will go with everything in your vacation wardrobe.

A versatile cover-up

Whether you're hitting the beach or sightseeing, it's always a good idea to have a cover-up on hand. A lightweight, flowy kaftan or a linen shirtdress is both versatile options that can be dressed up or down as needed.

In addition to these Spring fashion tips, it's also a good idea to pack a few more formal outfits for evenings out or for visiting upscale restaurants and clubs. A little black dress or a tailored suit can be dressed up with heels and statement jewellery for a chic, sophisticated look.

Luckily for you if you are planning an impromptu riviera romp this spring, Gemini’s Pre-Spring collection is about to drop, showcasing everything from finessed florals, colourful kaftans, perfect pastels and a dash of the nautical. Check out the Brochure here
