The prints come in a variety of colours, each bold and vibrant, in shades of blues, greens, pinks and yellows which are guaranteed head turners. These gorgeous little numbers also come in a matching, small drawstring bag.

Kaftan Coverups

Another essential for taking on holiday has to be a cover up in the form of the kaftan. The garment was thought to originate from ancient Mesopotamia, but was first seen on the catwalk in the 60s when it was adapted to Western tastes which have now flourished into the beachwear essential that we know today.  The modern kaftan is perfect for a cover up on the beach. The floaty fabrics mean that they’re lightweight enough to wear in the heat. The style of having long sleeves, a V neckline and longer length means that it keeps your protected from the sun while also flattering to the figure. As you can expect, Missoni Kaftans come in the iconic prints and colours that made the brand a success.
