The Love Boat

It’s a Seventies Vogue moment: skirts on a boat for that leggy windswept look – sweet and lovely by day, louche by night.

Prints are where it’s at for the daylight hours, all geometric checks and diagonal stripes. Don’t forget to pack a floppy hat and a scarf or two in contrasting prints. But black comes out for night: clingy jersey with plunging necklines and those pins once again bare.

“A short dress at night, the most glamorous way to look sexy, bare and leggy.” And capture the heart of a prince. Or three.
