Summer staycations in the UK can be amazing, we often have amazing weather between June and August which is good enough for beach days, shorts and sunhats. Although, the weather is not always guaranteed and it’s better to feel prepared and relaxed than underprepared for your lovely time away. Gemini Woman has outlined the top things you should try your best not to forget when going on a staycation in the UK to be prepared for all weather.  

Sunhats 

We can’t forget sunhats in case of some lovely sunshine! Black Ginger’s range of wide brim and panama hats are all foldable and come with a storage bag – the perfect travel piece! 

Lightweight jackets

Lightweight versatile jackets are a must. Whether it’s a windy day or an evening out for a meal, a jacket or two that complements all the outfits you have brought will save you from feeling uncomfortable and chilly. For daytime wear, the Happy Jeanstyle Jacket from Robell is an ideal piece for travels and it would also look great with dresses for evenings. For evenings, the Katia Linen Jacket from Amazing Woman is a fitted button-up piece which will not take away from your chic evening looks, but instead elevate them.  

Sunglasses  

Sunglasses are an essential accessory for coastal walks, garden lunches, and just about any summer activity! A Kjaerbede have an amazing range of sunglasses in different colours and shapes, you’ll be sure to find your season favourite. 

Lightweight knit layers: 

Sometimes, a simple throwover knit will do just the trick paired with linen trousers or printed dresses. The Jodie jumper from Amazing Woman is a best-selling knit and its cropped length makes it a perfect layering piece. Cardigans are great pieces to pack since your outfit can still be seen whileare kept warm. Another best-selling knit from Amazing Woman is the Pookie cardigan, its simplistic silhouette makes it a great, versatile piece. The Sugar Swizzle Single Hook Cardigan from Sandwich is a Gemini favourite for the season as it will suit almost anything, and the single hook feature is so flattering. 

Trainers –  

Long days of strolling demand a comfortable pair of shoes. For breathability and comfort in one, we recommend the Miki Washable Trainers from EMU Australia, a memory foam cotton shoe that can be machine washed once you are back from your trip! For both comfort and ultimate style, the Astro Jogger Sneaker fresh from Victoria this season is your go-to. In both a blue and pink colour, this lightweight, sporty shoe will take you miles in comfort.  

Day bag –  

A bag that ensures you can take your glasses, cardigan, foldable hat and more on day trips with you is key to staycations. Victoria’s pastel range of canvas bags are the perfect size for this use, and their eco canvas backpack has an anti-theft zip fastening!
