Holland Cooper Summer Looks: Poolside Chestnut or Riviera Blue?

Holland Cooper’s summer looks offers a masterclass in polished holiday dressing, combining statement swimwear, fluid resort pieces and beautifully considered accessories.

Whether you opt for rich, sun-soaked neutrals or elegant Mediterranean blues, Holland Cooper’s Riviera collection offers a host of sophisticated outfits that can be worn throughout the day and into the night.

Here we take a look at two of our favourite Holland Cooper summer looks – we’ve styled Poolside Chestnut and Riviera Blue to give you a little taste of what you can do with two of our favourite pieces from the collection.

Look One: Poolside Chestnut

Chocolate and chestnut tones for summer are truly luxurious.

The Scorpios Swimsuit is at the core of this look. Designed with a regular fit and a low scoop to the neckline this swimsuit is a great one piece to wear for holiday. The deep chestnut colour is so stylish for summer and the detailing on this Holland Cooper piece has been finished to the highest quality. The Scorpios can be worn poolside or to the beach, and then styled up to wear for lunch over a cover up. We just love the gold chain detailing on the straps and the detachable belt.

To style this look for a day of sunbathing by the pool, wear it with the Ava Wrap Beach Skirt. This look is so effortless and creates an beautiful, flowing line from the swimwear to the beach cover up. The Ava Wrap Beach Skirt looks stunning with the Scorpios Swimsuit and can be worn over the one-piece for lunch or for a relaxed evening stroll around the hotel. Team with oversized sunglasses, gold jewellery and a woven tote bag for a chic holiday look.

Look Two: Riviera Blue

If however you are the type of holidaymaker who likes to don elegant Mediterranean blues throughout your trip then Holland Cooper’s Vintage Chateau Steel Blue print from their Riviera collection is the perfect choice for you to create your holiday wardrobe.

The Holland Cooper Riviera Trouser in Vintage Chateau Steel Blue is a beautiful summertime piece. With a relaxed wide-leg cut and an elasticated drawstring waist, these are very comfortable for travelling or lounging about and can be dressed up or down for dinner. The Vintage Chateau Steel Blue print is a beautiful hand-drawn, vintage inspired design which looks stunning in a number of different outfits and is completed by Holland Cooper branding in a small repeat throughout the print and a contrast border at the hem of the trousers.

Pair them with a pretty blouse and some heeled sandals for a stylish evening out.

For an more refined take on this look, team the Vintage Chateau Steel Blue print Trouser with the matching Riviera Shirt in Vintage Chateau Steel Blue. This sleek and stylish Riviera Shirt has been crafted in a relaxed fit, featuring a classic collar, a concealed front fastening and Holland Cooper’s iconic gold buttons at the collar and cuffs. The Riviera Shirt is the perfect addition to any stylish traveller’s wardrobe and can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. For example, wear it over a Holland Cooper swimsuit for a chic poolside look, or pair it with neutral colored Holland Cooper shorts and a pair of heeled ankle boots for a smart dinner look.

An alternative way to wear the Vintage Chateau Steel Blue printed Riviera Trouser would be to layer the Vintage Chateau Steel Blue printed Riviera Trouser over a chic pair of neutral coloured shorts for a smart yet casual look for dinner in the evening. The relaxed Aurelia Knitted Vest in Natural adds a touch of heritage chic to this stylish Holland Cooper look, featuring a softly textured knit and a regular fit, with a pretty embroidered HC branding on the front. This stylish outfit can be dressed up or down and is ideal for a stylish holidaymaker who wants to be able to dress up for an evening out but still look stylish during the day.

The Holiday Accessories

The accessories for both of these looks could also be combined to add the final Holland Cooper touch to your holiday wardrobe.

For finishing off both looks, accessories from Holland Cooper are a must. The Regency Slingbacks in Tan Crystal are the perfect accessory for adding glamour to any outfit.

For an instant poolside of glamour at the pool, the Paris Narrow Sunglasses in Black will be a holiday favourite. These sleek contemporary styled sunglasses have a fabulous slimline frame in a matt black finish and look fantastic on anyone. The styling is simple yet ultra chic and these stylish sunglasses are a perfect accessory for anyone who loves Holland Cooper to wear with their swimwear and other holiday clothes.

For a more holiday-inspired look, Holland Cooper Fine Heraldic Fine Heraldic HC Layered Necklace in Vintage Gold is the perfect choice to add a touch of elegance to your holiday wardrobe. The Vintage Gold necklace is made up of Fine Heraldic detail and can be layered up for an effortless look.
