As the summer starts to wane here in the UK, a mini-break on sunnier shores sounds very appealing. We’ve put together a handful of pool-to-party looks by Moss for those wanting to get away for a few days without packing the entire wardrobe. 

Moss Open-Knit Polo 
£59.95

Very much in style this season, the crocheted-look shirt is a must for that summer break. Made from 100% cotton, the open structure of the pattern keeps it cool and well-ventilated for sunny days by the pool. It can easily double as an evening outfit when worn over a light vest or T-shirt with some shorts, or even pale jeans for a great late-summer style.

The sizing isn’t generous on this particular shirt, but it’s possible that the material may relax a little with wear. So far, it’s too early to say for sure.

Moss Tailored Fit Linen Shirt
£59.95

A linen shirt is always a must on a sunshine break. The natural materials are light and breathable, as well as stylish and comfortable. A long-sleeved version, like this tailored-fit linen shirt in light blue, can give a relaxed look during the day, with the sleeves rolled to just below the elbow. Pair it with a light jacket and chinos for a great contemporary evening look.

The sizes were reasonably small, even for a tailored-fit shirt, so if you want a slightly looser fit, size up.

Moss Landscape Print Cuban Collar Shirt
£49.95

If you’re looking to make more of a style splash, why not mix it up with an injection of pattern? This landscape motif shirt with a casual Cuban-style collar is inspired by traditional Japanese landscape art to add something a little different to your lineup.

Not as in-your-face as a Hawian-style shirt, these more natural blue, green and grey tones look great around the pool and even better at the bar. Made of a flowing, viscose material, it will be quick-drying and cool, making it a great addition to your holiday wardrobe. Take care, though; it will crease easily and should only be ironed with a cool iron.

Moss Smart Swim Shorts
£49.95

One great way to cut down on the packing for your late summer break is swim shorts that are smart enough to be worn as evening wear. These Navy Peached Smart Swim Shorts with side adjusters for an improved fit are perfect for lounging, playing and socialising. 

Made from 100% recycled polyester, they feel soft to the touch and dry quickly, keeping their shape nicely all day long. 

Wear them with a simple T-shirt during the day or with a light shirt in the evening, and you’ll feel comfortable and cool no matter what you’re doing.

Moss Sky Stripe Print Swim Shorts
£49.95

If you want to go for a more casual look, add some stripes with these sky stripe print swim shorts. The recycled material has a nice stretch, making it comfortable for both relaxation and action. 

Been for a late dip before heading out for dinner? No problem — the moisture-wicking properties of the material mean that your shorts will be dry and ready to hit the bar in no time at all. 

To complete the look, throw in a pair of comfortable sliders or flip-flops for the daytime and some tan-coloured deck shoes for the nighttime, all of which will fit comfortably into your hand luggage, saving you money on the flight and time packing those things that you never get around to wearing.
