Summer is in full swing, which means that if you're lucky, a holiday somewhere picturesque and warm will be imminent.
Generous scoops of gelato, panoramic skylines and frothy seafronts are all within touching distance – only first you need to refine your warm-weather wish list and get your packing situation in order.
Dressing for sand and sea seems simple enough, but for guaranteed easy-breezy beachside elegance, we've put together some options to help you refine your choices.
