Weve all been there at some point, the postChristmas comedown and the dark winter days starting to get to you and the thought of escaping to the sun comes to your mind. So you give in and book a cheap getaway to clear your head and bring a bit of colour back to your cheeks.

But then you realise your wardrobe isnt really geared up for the sun and so begins the frantic search for the perfect summer wardrobe in a season where everything is either knitted, chunky or both! So heres our guide to putting together a winter sun wardrobe on a budget and when youve not got time to shop around.

Swimwear

If you plan on lazing by the pool or soaking up the rays on the beach then swimwear is the key item in your winter sun wardrobe and is one area you may want to invest in. If you had a sun holiday last year then its most likely that your swimsuit or bikini maybe looking a bit tatty now or if youve enjoyed the festivities a bit too much it may not fit properly! Youll find that most retailers always stock a selection of swimwear and as winter sun holidays are becoming more popular you should find a good choice of bikinis and swimsuits to choose from. Go for a mixture of styles, perhaps a well fitting swimsuit and a bikini or tankini, and if youre worried about those womanly lumps and bumps youll find plenty with control wear built in too.

Maxi dress

Theyre set to be big again this summer so hold onto your maxi dresses and pack them into your suitcase again. A maxi dress is a staple for your winter sun holiday, wear during the day if a chill picks up or for covering up when youre out and about, and dress up in the evenings with some accessories.

Jeans

If youre heading to the coastlines of Europe than youll still be able to wear jeans in the evenings because there will most likely still be a chill in the air. Take a pair of straight leg or boot cut jeans with you, theyll be easy to dress up with an evening top for a nice meal at night but versatile enough to dress down casually for a colder day.

Leggings

Pack plenty of leggings and jeggings into your suitcase, theyre easy to turn summery but will also keep your legs warm on cooler evenings. Wear them with simply vest tops, tunics and floaty summer tops during the day or the evenings. And they wont take up much room!

Shirts

If youve a baggy boyfriend shirt in your wardrobe make sure its in your suitcase because it is a must for any winter sun holiday; itll serve well during the day to throw on over your swimwear instead of a kaftan that maybe hard to find during these months but is also perfect for wearing during the evening dressed up with a few accessories.

Footwear

Dont be tempted to buy lots of new shoes just for your winter sun break; most women will still have sandals and flip flops left over from last year. But if you havent then a pair of flat ballerina pumps will work just as well and theyll work for on the beach and in the evenings too if you prefer not to take heels with you.
