Capsule Holiday Wardrobe: Belle Modelle’s Guide to Short Break Fashion

BM, the new capsule clothing collection by British fashion label Belle Modelle, offers the perfect what-to-pack solution for a short break. Combining stylish wardrobe essentials with shots of colour, day-to-night holiday highlights include:

The Gemini Breton Stripe

A daytime go-to, Belle Modelle’s nautical Gemini Stripe is available in five colour ways – classic navy on white and black, grey, red and khaki. Featuring just the right amount of stretch to skim, not cling, this long-sleeve top is finished with a raw edge neon stitch and features three small signature neon stars across the rear neckline (£24.95).

Bellatrix fine-knit layer

The short sleeve Bellatrix Boxy Knit Jumper comes in a gorgeous tangerine orange, sunshine yellow, or black and wears well on its own, or as a fine knit layer to add a touch of warmth in the evenings or on colder days. (£38.95)If you prefer a more sporty look they are also available in grey with a lilac and neon yellow sleeve stripe or lilac with a green and neon yellow sleeve stripe. (£39.95).

Scarf Styling

The ideal way to amp in colour or simply re-style a look, Belle Modelle’s spring collection features gorgeous colourful scarves. These versatile scarves can be worn as a neck scarf, a headband or even used as a bag strap. Measuring 70 x 70 cm, the satin-soft colourful scarves are available in a vibrant Emerald and Pink Peacock design; a Blue and Black Animal Print; a Multi Colour Feather and Spot design, and a Pink Printed pattern (£12.95).

For a longer line look, the stylishly sustainable Chara Bamboo Scarves are available in two bright bold prints (£18.95). Evening luxe is guaranteed with the Golden Leopard Silk Scarf (£29.95); while the cotton Bella Aztec Fringe Scarf is the ultimate pool-side or warming wrap available in turquoise, hot pink and neon yellow (£16.95).

Harem Ioana Trouser

The Ioana Harem Trousers are a super flattering, comfortable and lightweight holiday staple that never crease. With a drapey silhouette, a drawstring waist and side pockets, this cuffed trouser can be paired with daytime pumps for a laid-back look or carried into the evening with a heel or sandal. Available in black, navy, grey and khaki (£21.95).

Another appealing holiday option are the Camille Palazzo Trousers. A wide smocking elasticated waistband ensures they are oh-so comfortable and the drapey fabric makes them flattering too. They look great worn with the Breton style Gemini Stripe or a white tee with casual pumps or sandals. Available in grey, black and navy (£24.95).

Estelle Metallic Pleated Maxi Skirt

A proper spring stand-out is Belle Modelle’s latest addition – the vibrant electric blue and stunning silver Estelle metallic pleated maxi skirts. These dance worthy skirts come with an eye-catching shimmer and a comfy stretch waistband in a metallic rainbow coloured stripe.

It is currently available in two sizes: 1 (12/16) and 2 (18/22), with size 0 (8/10) coming soon (£29.95).

Day to night wrist candy
