When Lisa Snowdon posted a carousel of photos from her solo holiday in Andalusia, it wasn't just the luxury design hotel that got my attention - it was the presenter and model's stylish boho-themed holiday wardrobe getting me excited for summer.
Tie-dye prints, Pucci-inspired swirls and embellished detailing all featured, and I'm so ready to add these styles to my summer capsule wardrobe.
When I'm planning my holiday outfit ideas, the last thing I want is to feel under pressure to be poolside-ready, and I think Lisa really nailed it in her latest selection of warm-weather looks. Like Lisa, I prefer to pack a small selection of my favourite go-to pieces, and this summer I'll be refreshing my packing list inspired by some of the presenter's favourites.

In a Pucci-esque, Sixties-inspired print, this bandeau bikini top style is the perfect shape for avoiding tan lines and can double as a strapless bra.
Multicoloured swimwear is a great shortcut to creating plenty of beach-chic looks. Try teaming these with a block colour top in pink or orange.
Lisa's gorgeous Heidi Klein co-ord is sold out, but these sunny striped trousers from Zara are a versatile holiday item that will emulate her look. Wear them to the beach or bar.
A straw tote bag is a holiday must-have. This chic leather-trimmed style from Whistles can be used as a travel bag and on the beach.
Update your favourite oversized white shirt with this style from Hayley Menzies. The palm tree detail offers a fun holiday take on classic Broderie Anglais.
Swap cut-off Daisy Dukes for a pair of slip-on denim shorts this summer. The embellished detail on this pair adds a dash of glam to the casual fit.
A perennial of the spring/summer fashion trends 2026, I always reach for bohemian-inspired pieces for holidays. By picking a theme for my holiday outfits, I can pack less as everything works together - pretty cutwork detail tops, tie dye dresses and lightweight fabrics are very much the order of the day, along with a pair of denim shorts or two.
Lisa's pair of shorts from Hayley Menzies not only feature a comfy elasticated waist but also a cool embellished detailing that helps to elevate the otherwise sporty cut. Wear them with your best white t-shirt or throw over your favourite swimwear. If you're wondering what the best swimwear for women over 50 might be, don't shy away from bikinis - Lisa, 54, is proof that you can look fantastic in a two-piece at any age.
Alongside holiday staples such as denim shorts and breezy cotton shirts, I've noticed a clever style trick that Lisa Snowdon has used when packing for her holiday wardrobe - the rule of three.
This fashion hack uses the principle of a capsule wardrobe based around three colours. By using a complementary colour palette based around yellow, Lisa's ensured that all of her pieces can be mixed and matched to create a host of summer outfit ideas and also work with her staple basics and accessories, such as her most comfortable sandals.
Try this hack next time you're packing for a sunny destination, and I guarantee you won't look back.
