Online Boutique South Africa | Lu-May’s Stylish Clothing
The Online Boutique South Africa Turns to for Resort Style Fashion
Planning for your upcoming cruise or resort holiday may have you rushing to clothing stores to stock up on the latest beachwear and leisure suits. But what happens with these outfits when you get back to the daily grind? Instead of having kaftans, maxi dresses, pedal-pushers, and blouses taking up much-needed space in your wardrobe, only to be worn over weekends, turn to an online boutique South Africa that will not only kit you out elegantly but also share tips on how your vacation wardrobe can be styled for everyday wear.
An Online Boutique South Africa that Puts a Fresh Spin on Holiday Wear
Let the fashionistas from your soon-to-be favourite online boutique South Africa, Lu-May Exclusive Wear, share how your breezy holiday beauties can be woven into your wardrobe and be dressed up or down, no matter the season or occasion.
Kaftans for Beach Cover-ups or Urban Glam
Possibly one of the most understated resort pieces is the simplistic kaftan. The relaxed shape of a kaftan allows you to effortlessly pair it with those straight-leg linen trousers you thought you would never wear again, creating an elongated silhouette that feels easy-going but looks refined. Choose trouser colours that blend in with the pattern of the kaftan, or if the kaftan is
in a muted hue like our Venice Lace Kimono White, select palettes that bring out the softness of the style. This way, you will be complementing the flowing lines of the kaftan beautifully.
If you are looking to dial it down just a notch from linen, pair your lengthy or short kimono with straight-cut or bootleg jeans. Even flared jeans are a great match, especially if you are leaning into that boho aesthetic kaftans are known for. Sticking to clean lines and simple washes will make your Windy Weather Beach Twisted Back Knit Top Pink shine. Wearing open kaftans over t-shirts or button-ups and paired with pants or shorts makes a statement no matter where you go.
Maxi Dresses are Your Year-Round, Any Occasion Staples
A maxi dress is a piece of clothing that deserves far more than a mere holiday fling. With the right layers and accessories, your floaty favourite can see you through boardrooms and brunches. Pairing Lu-May’s Giselle Textured High Waist Green Maxi Dress with a loose or tailored denim jacket and clean white sneakers gives off a youthful and carefree vibe. Need a bit of formality? Swap the denim for a lightweight, elegant jersey or linen jacket, add some heels or flats, and you command centre stage.
Maxi dresses are extremely versatile and perfect for any season. Take our Oyster Box Crisscross Backless Blue Maxi Dress for example. For warmth, add a thick knit cardigan or floor-length jacket and leggings. Pair it with our comfy leather knee-high boots or platform sneakers to complete your look. Choosing a maxi in a neutral tone or subtle print makes it easier to reimagine.
Linens Blend Effortlessly with Elegance
Linens give you the perfect base for layering, offering a blank canvas that invites a bit of creativity. With the right layers, you can add texture, contrast, and versatility to your look, making it easy to adapt your style as the day unfolds. Our Mora Striped Wide Leg High Waist Pants Black are not only ideal for transitioning from the beach to brunch, but when paired with a fitted top or detailed blouse, casual turns to chic. Incorporating lightweight layers, such as cardigans, loose denim jackets, or even soft scarves, shifts the overall tone of your outfit. Your choice of footwear can also dramatically change any look. For day or night-time elegance, slip on loafers and sneakers for a more relaxed look.
