How to Match Your Holiday Dress to Your Holiday Cocktail

There's nothing that'll get you in the mood for a vacation quite like a cocktail.

Whether you prefer fruit or fizz, on the rocks or with a twist, they're the ultimate summertime drink. So, why not take a break from your hunt for the perfect summer holiday dress?

Kick back, pour yourself a glass of something sweet, and read this fun little guide on how to match your dress to your holiday cocktail...

We think sundresses are the perfect choice because, just like the drink, their shapes are floaty and feel-good. This is a short cocktail, served in a small curved glass, so you could match your dress length to your cocktail by choosing a mini or short dress. 

When it comes to colour, yellow or orange will match the cocktail's vibrant colour and you can include the passion fruit detail with purple accents. For example, our Sandy Shores Short Dress includes a gorgeous floral print and a pink tassel at the neckline.

For footwear, add a sleek pair of pink heels, then garnish your passion fruit martini look with a cute sun hat.

If you know your cocktails, you've definitely heard of the Passion Fruit Martini! 

A sugary concoction of passion fruit flavoured vodka, lime juice, pineapple juice, and prosecco- it's like taking a sip of sunshine! 

This fruit cocktail has a bright orange hue, topped with white foam, and garnished with a purple passionfruit slice. Not only is it delicious, but it's one of the prettiest beverages you'll ever see. 

To match your holiday dress to the passion fruit martini, you'll want to choose an outfit that emanates those bright, summery vibes.

The moment the sun comes out, our mojito craving kicks in! 

Crisp and cooling, this blend of rum, lime, mint, and soda water, is the ideal tipple on a hot day. You know what feels just as good on a hot summer day? A tunic dress!

Tunic dresses are made of breathable fabrics with a relaxed fit, and, like a mojito, they'll keep you feeling fresh all day long.

It's the mint leaves that make this drink so iconic, adding a dash of colour and a splash of refreshing flavour. So, if you're matching your dress to your mojito, your print is your main ingredient.

Look for lighter colours such as white and yellow for the base, which will represent the white rum and soda water. Add your mint with a bold leafy print in shades of green or blue.

 Light and comfy, a pair of pretty green sandals will go down just as easy as your first sip. Then, you can top your outfit off with a turquoise beaded necklace.

Our Summer Sunset Dress is a style like no other, where warm orange gradually blends into deep pink. The stunning sunset tones are the perfect fit for a tequila sunrise-inspired look.

With gold stitching and tassel ties, you're guaranteed to dazzle when this maxi dress catches the light.

Complete your outfit with some equally eye-catching accessories. Our gold gladiator sandals will match the dress' gold accents, whilst our Las Selinas jewellery will bring an extra dose of colour.

One of the most delectable drinks on any bar menu, the Tequila Sunrise is almost as stunning as its namesake. 

The sweet tasting cocktail is a mixture of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, which creates a beautiful orange and pink gradient- much like a tropical sunrise.

It might seem impossible to create an outfit to match such a pretty drink, but we have just the dress!

If there's a drink that embodies the spirit of La Dolce Vita, it has to be the Aperol Spritz. 

This refreshing Italian cocktail is known for its vibrant orange colour and bittersweet taste. Made of Aperol, prosecco, and soda water, one sip will transport you straight to the cobbled streets of Itay.

To match your dress to this cocktail, you'll want a style that's just as lively.

First, opt for light and floaty fabrics, that'll have the same cooling effect as a sip of spritz. Of course, the colour has to be orange, but you can play around with shades! Warmer hues, like blood orange, work just as well as tangerine. 

There's nothing wrong with a plain dress- after all, Aperol Spritz is a simple, no fuss cocktail- but you can have fun experimenting with prints. Floral prints in reds and pinks will match the citrusy, floral tones of your chosen drink.

To represent the bubbly soda, choose subtle accessories, like beaded bracelets. 

Voila!  Your spritz-inspired summer style is served! 

As for colour, the drink has a truly unique shade of blue. One of the closest is Santorini blue. This shade has the same bold tone and is guaranteed to boost your mood! 

Continue the blue theme with a pair of elegant blue heels or wedges. This sweet drink is usually garnished with an orange, so why not top off the look with an orange scarf?

The Blue Lagoon is a French cocktail, made up of blue curaçao, vodka, and lemonade. Known for its incredible colour, this summer staple looks just as refreshing as it tastes.

If the Blue Lagoon is your chosen cocktail, your dress should be just as remarkable- think bold patterns and standout prints paired with elegant details like tassel ties and cinched waists.
