Where to buy summer clothes in winter for a holiday somewhere warm
The flights are booked, but the shops are full of jumpers, wool coats and puffers. Here is where to order a light dress or a summer co-ord in the middle of winter.
You can buy summer clothes in winter from the Ukrainian brand REPULO'S: its summer pieces are available to order all year round, not just in season. For a holiday in a warm country we suggest three looks: the white pleated Dream set (blouse and shorts), the light blue polka dot Kola set (cotton top and mini skirt) and the white corset maxi dress Shell. Every piece can be ordered in a standard size or made to your own measurements, with delivery worldwide.

Summer holiday clothes in autumn and winter
Finding a light dress or a summer co-ord in the middle of winter can turn into a project of its own. Especially when you want something with character: for walks along the coast, dinner with a sea view and photos that hold on to the mood of the trip. While it is still trench coat and wool coat season at home, on repulos.com you can choose pleated shorts, a light blouse or a white maxi dress for your next holiday in the Canary Islands, Dubai, the Caribbean, Thailand or the Maldives.
Plan your holiday wardrobe around the weather and what you will actually be doing. A stroll through a resort town, lunch on a terrace and an evening by the sea each have their own mood. For the heat, choose natural fabrics or pieces with a cotton lining, and for the evening pack one dress that makes the occasion.
The white Dream set: pleated wrap blouse and shorts
The white Dream set is made for days when morning coffee on the terrace drifts into a walk along the sea.
The pleated wrap blouse with wide sleeves gives a light, airy silhouette. White pleated shorts with lace trim complete it, and the cotton lining makes them soft against the skin. The pleats open up beautifully in motion, as you walk and in the sea breeze.
Day and night
For daytime, pair Dream with sandals, a roomy bag and sunglasses. For dinner, add heeled sandals, a small bag and statement earrings.
Room in the suitcase
Wear the blouse and shorts together or separately for more outfit combinations on the trip. Handy when you want to leave space in your suitcase for shopping and still have several different looks.
“Your looks are made for Monaco”
The light blue polka dot Kola set: top and mini skirt
The light blue Kola set brings a playful note to a holiday wardrobe. The polka dot print, full puff sleeves and front tie make the top the focal point of the look. Thanks to the elastic, you can wear it on or off the shoulder. The ruffled mini skirt with contrasting white piping keeps the mood going and moves nicely as you walk.
Both pieces are made from 100% cotton with a cotton lining, so they stay comfortable in the heat. The set comes in light blue and red.
Where to wear it
This is the set you will want for wandering seaside streets, lunch in the open air or a sunset date. By day, style Kola with a woven bag and simple sandals. For the evening, choose delicate heeled sandals and small jewellery: the set already has plenty of statement details.
If you are looking for a women's beach holiday co-ord that works just as well at a summer party once you are home, take a closer look at Kola.
The white Shell maxi dress: for dinner by the sea and beach photoshoots
Some pieces make you want to plan a special evening around them. The white pleated Shell maxi dress is one of them.
Its silhouette recalls a seashell. The corset bodice with built-in cups shapes the fit, the bare shoulders frame the neckline, and the long pleated skirt adds movement. The strapless cut keeps the focus on the neck, shoulders and texture of the dress.
Evenings and photos
Shell is a striking choice for dinner by the sea or a photoshoot on the coast. White, sand, water and soft evening light make a beautiful backdrop for its sculptural silhouette.
For dinner, finish the dress with delicate sandals and earrings. For photos by the water, keep accessories to a minimum so the pleats, the silhouette and the sea take centre stage.
