Simply styled with jeans, shorts, maxi or miniskirts, as a beach cover-up, thrown over a bathing suit or bikini, blouses are easy to wear and work in multiple scenarios. Choose from ditsy florals: Tabitha Webb’s western style retro floral looks great with white jeans (below), or have fun with Leon and Harper’s pineapple print (1, below) teamed with colourful shorts. Urban Outfitters’s printed boxy Gracie shirt (£32) has a playful sun-faded motif. If you’re feeling bold, stand out with an abstract print like the one from Never Fully Dressed (2, above, available to rent from byrotation.com) or Casablanca’s tropical print from my wardrobehq.com (£12 per day). Renting a statement piece for a holiday is a planet-friendly way to refresh your wardrobe.
