Be chic on the cheap

Jul 21 2005

By Evening Gazette

 

With summer in full swing, the lucky ones among us will be flying off for some holiday fun. What better excuse to treat yourself to a new summer wardrobe?

Left: Dark green kaftan with sequin detail, £10. Chunky green belt, £4. Right: Stone-coloured gypsy style cardigan, £6. Cropped denim jeans, £12. Brown wedges, £10. Ethnic design scarf, £4. All from Primark

And as Rachel Limon found, it doesn't have to cost the earth.

Pink top with diamante flower motif, £6. Denim skirt £10

You've spent months saving for a holiday wardrobe, only to spill red wine down your white linen trousers, rip your favourite top during an over-enthusiastic version of the Macarena, or have a leaky bottle of sun lotion coat the contents of your suitcase.

The moral of the story? Restrict a holiday wardrobe to cheap and cheerful buys. And this summer the high street is brimming with them.

We headed to Primark, the current capital of bargain fashion, to create this "throwaway chic" holiday wardrobe.
