BANK-HOLIDAY PLANS? THESE LOOKS HAVE YOU COVERED

News of an impending three-day weekend is music to our ears. Even better when the sun’s out. Whether you’re packing yours with night-out plans, hopping on a flight, or opting for wholesome time with fam, our Fashion Editors have collated five foolproof looks for every kind of bank holiday. Baskets at the ready…

With staples this easy, even the biggest night out won’t leave its mark on your weekend wardrobe. We love these oversized sunglasses for shielding out the world in style, and you can never go wrong with a pair of baggy jeans and a simple white tee.

A spring bank holiday is *the* time to flex your fashion muscles. Nothing says girls' night out like a Y2K moment – and with the early 2000s knocking, big belts are back on the menu. These flared faded jeans do all the heavy lifting on that front, and the statement gold buckle pairs perfectly with the detail on this adorable micro bag.
