Here are Your 7 Best Sellers for a Chase the Sun holiday.
1. One Piece Swimsuit.
- Fuller Belly Shape - 3 Tier or Frilled Style - in Plains or Prints. It's a toss up between black and prints for popularity.
- Hourglass - Bandeau - can be worn strapless - Black, Navy, or Prints. Black is always popular in this style.
- Column and Hippy Chicks - Retro - in Black and now in Black and White Check. Re-stocked recently in Navy with White Dots too.
- Big Bust and Long Torso - The Ruched Underwire style. Heaps of great Prints, Black and [Navy. D-G Cup!
- Sunsafe - for all different shapes because these are bought for coverage more than anything else. The Zip Up. Short Frill sleeve (re-stocked recently in your favourite Navy and White Dots the most popular with the Long sleeve in Black and Navy close behind.
2. Rashie - Not just for the kids - lead by example! If you spend all day out snorkeling, on a boat, on the beach, by the pool you will need one to keep the sunburn at bay. Don't ruin your precious time away staying in doors because of horribly tender and sore skin (not to mention substantially increasing your risk of Melanoma). Rashies have come a long way and we have them in all cuts for different shapes and sizes. Pullover, zip up and wrap styles!
3. Hat - Like a Rashie for your face! Go as wide as your size will let you. I personally drown in a extra wide brim and find a mid brim is enough (then my Rashie takes over and shades where the hat misses). We have gorgeous hats in neutral shads to go with anything! Not sure how to pack it? Here's one of our all time popular articles from the Blog on How to Travel with Your Hat.
3. Versatile Swimsuit Coverup -
These are our consistent best sellers for a Cover Up option. The VERY versatile Cape or Kimono from Brisbane's Cape Capri. The Kimono is the maxi version. Very glam. If you haven't given one of these ultra awesome pieces a go, they come highly recommended. Click to see the lovely Sarah from Cape Capri showing us how to wear them loose or as a sarong, belted, knotted up and flounced, knotted ends or as a neck scarf and head scarf!
A simple throw on and go summer dress you can turn to again and again for over togs, out and about and low key nights out might be more your speed. Like the NEW very soft and slinky Bamboo Sybil Dress in Navy from another fab Aussie label Bamboo Body. Like a firmer fitting dress? Then the #1 best seller for that cut has to be the Drawstring Dress from Bracewell. The Navy and White Stripe is Hayley's latest creation in this cut. From Tannum Sands in Qld and in gorgeous soft, organic cotton.
And then there's the Kaftan. No explanation needed. Short or long. An eternal summer holiday must pack.
4. Wet Cossie Clutch (luggage organiser). - high on the list here at S&S is the Wet Cossie Clutch. A waterproof zip up bag to put wet togs in. Beyond that they make great luggage organisers and perfect for stashing cosmetics in to stop them 'leaking' into the rest of your suitcase. Find them here in the Project Ten range.
5. Pack Flat Beach Bag. To go with 4. Again, the Project Ten Beach Bags are winners. Chuck anything in them. The are indestructible. 2 sizes. Medium for 3 people and XL for a family of 4. Shake out the sand. Hose off the sticky ice cream and wipe off the slimy sunscreen. Brilliant!
The next 2 might shock you but...they are included for a reason
When you travel from a cooler place to the welcoming warm arms of your destination, you need to be able to hit the ground running and not break into a sweat. Peel off a couple of layers and you're set in a flash!
6. Wrap - A light wrap is the ultimate travel companion any time of year. A natural fibre will breathe and adapt beautifully. Our cashmere, cotton and bamboo blend wrap is heavenly. An extra large size to wrap around generously. There are always airconditioned spaces to wrap up for.
7. Leggings - a controversial addition to the list perhaps, but for me they are essential when you are traveling from cold to warm. Wear them on the plane then take them off in the loo before you leave the airport! And if you are prone to mozzies or midges, you may need them to keep them from biting too when you head out at night for a dinner under the stars. Our Bamboo leggings are light and will breathe. Keeping you warmer when you need it and cooler when you don't.
Well that's your top 7 girls based on what sells well here at Sequins and Sand.
