FOR HER: light floaty kaftans, pretty summer dresses that go<br />
from daytime to dinner time; a sassy swimsuit (or two) and a<br />
couple of gorgeous sarongs.<br />
FOR HIM: board shorts, T-shirts, light cotton pants, polo shirts<br />
and cool cotton shirts for evening, togs, tanks and a hat or cap for<br />
on the beach.<br />
Your resort room or cabin may be some distance from beach, pool<br />
or sundeck, but even if it isn’t you’ll want all your stuff close at<br />
hand:<br />
FOR HER: a stylish tote to carry camera, sunnies, towel, book, or<br />
beach mat.<br />
FOR HIM: a day pack or drawstring duffel for iPod, keys, e-reader<br />
and cap.<br />
Stay sun smart, tan over time and make for the shade in the heat<br />
of the day:<br />
FOR HER: a wide-brimmed hat, big framed sunnies, cool cover<br />
up and some high SPF.<br />
FOR HIM: a cap with a peak, serious sunnies, slip-slop-slap and<br />
rash top or T-shirt.<br />
Pool sides and boat decks can become slippery, sand gets hot and<br />
coral can cut you so don’t assume you’ll be footwear free:<br />
FOR HER: bright summer sandals for beach or boat deck, reef<br />
shoes for swimming and chic ballet flats for evening.<br />
FOR HIM: jandals for beach, sand shoes for boats and sandals at<br />
sundown.<br />
The secret of savvy packing is easy care clothes, a few basic colours<br />
then dress up your outfit with simple accessories or a splash of<br />
colour:<br />
FOR HER:<br />
dress up with heels, beads and bling. Sparkle in cool<br />
marine shades of turquoise and blue or dazzle in coral and gold to<br />
offset your tan.<br />
FOR HIM:<br />
dress up crease-free in crisp shirt and dark pants.<br />
Don’t over pack, instead mix and match and then you’ll have<br />
plenty of space for the gifts and the treasures you’ll want to bring<br />
home!
