With the weather set to be mixed from sunshine to potential showers, we’ve rounded up outfit ideas to cover every plan.

Bank Holiday Outfits
Family BBQ
If the weather holds out take advantage and have a BBQ enjoying the sunshine!
You can always rely on a floaty dress for a BBQ. Loose and lightweight styles are super comfortable for a day event you can throw-on-and-go instantly!
These two summer dresses make the most of wearing all things bright and bold.
Whether you opt for a floral milkmaid style featuring a wrap front and short puff sleeves or a bold blue polka dot smock dress.
They’re Ideal for forecasts that aren’t scorching hot, keeping you cool when the sun comes out and you can layer up when the evening turns cooler. Easy to wear with sandals and trainers – get your Pimm’s at the ready!

Beach Trip
Beach trips and long weekends go hand-in-hand with each other if you’re after a relaxing and wholesome weekend with family or friends.
Although we’re still in summer, when you’re by the beach there’s always a breeze so a knitted option to throw on will keep you warm by the sea but cool when the sun makes an appearance.
A cardigan is a great option to throw on and off as you want, or for something thicker opt for a crochet jumper with denim. You’re ready to watch the sunset and stroll on the sand in style.
Shop plus size knitwear.
Festival Fun
If you’re heading to one of the many festivals lined-up this bank holiday, make sure you head to centre stage in style.
Our parachute trousers are the ultimate option for British festivals and the mixed weather we’re predicted.
Made from 100% cotton they offer a super breathable wear that if it gets wet (which is inevitable at a festival) it will dry quickly so you’re not stood around in wet clothes for long.
Our pocket parkas are the perfect festival purchase, easily fitting into any bag at the ready for if and when the rain hits. The lightweight fabric keeps you cool and dry – what more could you want?

City Break
Long weekends are a great way to take a trip to your favourite city or explore somewhere new, without using your holiday at work!
We’re keeping things cool and comfortable for city styling with our boiler jumpsuit making outfit planning easier than ever or tap into the maxi skirt trend with our ribbed button through skirt in a loose comfortable fit.
Whichever you choose, city breaks call for trainers as you’ll be doing a lot more walking than you realise!
Shop plus size wide leg jeans.
Romantic Day Date
Switch up your usual date night and turn it into a day date! Take your favourite picnic snacks to a new spot, head to the cinema to watch that film you’ve been waiting to see or embrace your inner child at an arcade game centre.
You can keep your outfit casual but cute in a flattering floral dress with heeled sandals or dress down your jeans and a nice top with flat sandals.
We’ve opted for two dress options you can take from the bank holiday weekend into autumn with boots and a jacket. Elevate with platform sandals and a clutch bag perfect for a day date where you’re comfy but also look cute.
Bottomless Brunch
Bank hols go hand-in-hand with bottomless brunch lovers. Let’s be honest, the aim of the game for bottomless brunch is to get as many drinks in as you can within your allocated time slot, but the next day can often be a slow one right? That’s where the extra day comes in handy…
Depending on the vibe of the brunch, you can opt for a classic jeans and a nice top or get glam in a dress and heels combo. We’re making the most of the summer and bringing in a pop of colour into our outfits where we can.
We’re adding bright pink into our favourite pair of parachute trousers sculpting your waist and showing off your curves. Just add your favourite heels and you’re good to go.
