Staying put on home shores this season? We’ve matched out favourite luxury resorts and holiday destinations with their King’s Road alter-ego. Mediterranean vibes, this way – no passport required…
Saint Tropez
Harbour-side dining. Sea breeze in the air. Jewel-coloured water. We can’t quite deliver the full Saint Tropez experience, but the King’s Road can certainly oblige in the wardrobe department. For those riviera-chic vibes as you head out to dine al fresco in Duke of York Square, opt for relaxed neutrals, like white, stone, tan and pale blue. Club Monaco’s minimalist pieces always fit the memo, but never more than in its riviera-ready Summer Edit. Gents, drop into Balibaris for remixed classics (from chinos to linen shirts) and Bluemint for swimwear, fit for James Dean on his holidays.
Mykonos
Full of bright prints, eclectic designs and diaphanous fabrics, Anthropologie’s unique brand of modern bohemia is just destined for Greek islands. So, for a no-quarantine alternative, we’ll be wafting around on home soil in their Holiday Shop pieces all-summer long. Just pair a printed kaftan with a woven shopper and simple leather sandals (don’t forget your mask) to exude holiday vibes for any King’s Road shopping jaunts.
Ibiza
Conjure the land of sun, sea and sand with outfits that make you want to party until sunrise. Maje’s beautiful Summer Nights collection is filled with gorgeous prints and summer dresses to cherish, home or away. For footwear that puts summer in your step, check out Superga’s latest collaboration with LoveShackFancy. The dreamy florals, lace accents and chunky flatforms are definitely good for the sole.
Capri
Want to bring the Isle of Capri home to Chelsea? Stock up on limoncello, kick off your shoes and update your wardrobe with sunshine-ready cotton shirt dresses from Cefinn. All that’s left is to accessorise with plenty of jewellery. The beautiful coral collection from Les Nereides brings ocean vibes to you, while Jimmy Fairly is always top of the list for statement sunnies.
Turqoise Coast
Set sail for Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast in floral prints, lightweight lace and a side-helping of French style from Zadig & Voltaire, whose latest flagship has just opened on the King’s Road. Looking for swimwear (head to a lido closer to home and convince yourself you’re by the beach) with a new style from fine-lingerie inspired styles at Pain de Sucre.
