LOOK 1: HOLIDAY SILK
In this first look, we're showcasing a summery dress paired with two different scarves, perfect for packing light on your holiday. This M&S dress is a stunning backless, slinky piece featuring a luscious pink to orange gradient.
A silk scarf is a wonderful way to transform a holiday dress, offering versatility and practical benefits. Scarves are small and easy to pack, allowing you to change up your look effortlessly. Whether worn around the neck, draped over the shoulders for warmth, or styled in your hair, a silk scarf adds variety to your holiday wardrobe.
Here, we feature two beautiful scarves. The first is the Monet Tulips Chiffon which showcases distinct red tulips and soft pastel shades inspired by a painting by Claude Monet, perfectly complementing the vibrant colours of the dress.
The second scarf is the Arts & Crafts Birds Chiffon, adorned with various birds amidst rich green foliage from the studio of William Morris, the renowned textile designer and social activist.
Both these chiffons are lightweight and generously sized, making them incredibly versatile and ideal for any summer outfit.
