Did Someone Say Long Weekend? 6 Cute Looks To Recreate This Bank Holiday

Everyone loves a bank holiday weekend, but if you’re in a style rut as to what to wear, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re planning a family picnic or a long, lazy brunch with friends, scroll for six cute looks to recreate straight from some of our favourite Instagram stars.
Look 1
We’re yet to find a DÔEN dress we don’t love, and this floral dream leans into the sleepwear-as-daywear look perfectly. Just add a deconstructed trench and loafers with socks (we love the pop of pale blue) to give the sweetness an edge.

This look was made for those spontaneous bank holiday plans, from drinks in a beer garden to dinner and dancing. Long weekends aside, this Arket utility jacket is one of our top high street buys of the season – it feels very The Row / Victoria Beckham, minus the hefty price tag.

Nautical styles always signal a holiday to us, even when staying on home shores. This look by Alice feels chic, put-together, and playful – ideal for long, lazy lunches or sipping sundowners on Sunday.

Look 4
Polka dots remain summer’s reigning print, and we’re especially drawn to this buttercup-yellow pair of capris. Style them with an oversized jumper for a low-key vibe, and if yellow pedal pushers feel too nostalgic, opt for classic black. Finish with brown suede accessories and our latest obsession: affordable, designer-inspired waterproof rings from Jewells.

You can always count on What Gigi Wears for a masterclass in layering. We love these bloomer pants – a breakout hit last summer and set to return – styled with silk, lace, and off-the-shoulder knits. Finished with a low-slung Y2K belt and a pop of red via ballet flats, it’s the ultimate low-key, cool-girl formula.

Finally, you can’t go wrong with weekend denim. We’re pairing Sixxta’s art-inspired tees with inky, turn-up jeans for a casual look, perfect for a coffee date in the park. Add a grown-up boho twist by layering over a silk skirt – DÔEN’s pale yellow Giulietta is our dream pick – but a silk scarf will work just as well. Finally, a moment for this adorable River Island beaded bag; it’s a total steal that works for everything from casual denim to wedding guest attire.
