Planning an adult weekend away is always exciting, whether it’s with romance in mind, a fun-filled adventure with friends, or a relaxing retreat to recharge your batteries. 91% of brits choose to visit the same destinations, and we certainly experience that at Serious About Events, with our holiday-goers coming back year after year.
As you prepare for your getaway, one of the most common questions you might have is: what should I wear for my adult weekend away? Choosing the right outfits can make or break your weekend, obviously, you need to not just feel stylish but also comfortable and stress-free.
Here are some tips to help you pack the perfect wardrobe for your adult weekend away.
Consider the Destination
The first step in deciding what to wear is to consider your destination. Since our Adult weekends at Serious About Events are held at seaside resorts, your wardrobe should be tailored to enjoy the coastal atmosphere and activities.
When heading to a seaside resort, comfort and style go hand in hand. Pack light, breathable fabrics to keep cool under the sun. Swimsuits are essential if you pan a dip in the sea, but also bring along some cover-ups, flip-flops, and perhaps a wide-brimmed hat or cap for some sun protection.
A lightweight dress or some shorts and t-shirts are perfect for casual outings by the beach or around the resort.
Evenings at the seaside can be cooler, so consider bringing a cosy jumper or a stylish cardigan. Linen shirts, trousers or a maxi dress are great for transitioning from day to night, offering both comfort and a touch of elegance. Comfortable sandals or casual shoes will keep your feet happy as you explore the local area or enjoy a seaside dinner.
Live music sets the perfect atmosphere, providing an energetic backdrop to an unforgettable night. Grab your dancing shoes, gather your friends, and get ready to let loose and revel in the vibrant sounds and lively beats.
Plan for Activities
Next, consider the activities you’ll be engaging in when you decide what clothing to pack for your adult weekend away. Different activities call for different attire, and planning ahead will save you from any last-minute wardrobe dilemmas.
Staying at a seaside resort with Serious About Events offers not just beautiful views and beach access but also a range of fantastic on-site facilities to keep you entertained. One highlight is the skittles alley, where you can enjoy friendly competition and laughs with friends or family.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or a novice, skittles is a fun way to bond and create memories. Additionally, the resorts all feature cosy lounges, vibrant entertainment options, and delightful dining experiences, ensuring that your time indoors is just as enjoyable as your time on the beach.
If you’re planning to participate in local activities like beach volleyball, paddleboarding, or coastal walks, pack suitable activewear. Moisture-wicking tops, comfortable leggings or shorts, and sturdy trainers will ensure you’re ready for any adventure. Don’t forget a waterproof jacket in case of unexpected showers.
If you’re planning a romantic weekend, you might want to include some dressier options for a nice dinner or a night out. A little black dress or a sharp blazer and chinos can elevate your look for a special evening. For daytime, a casual but chic look with comfortable shoes is ideal for exploring or enjoying leisurely walks.
If relaxation is your main goal, pack your favourite loungewear for those cosy mornings and evenings. Comfortable pyjamas, a soft robe, and some slippers will help you unwind in style. Don’t forget your swimwear if your accommodation includes a pool or hot tub.
Embrace the Fun of Fancy Dress
One of the most exciting aspects of an adult weekend away at a seaside resort is the opportunity to embrace the fun of fancy dress.
And our Skittles teams get creative! Whether it’s a themed team, a special event, or just a spontaneous bit of fun with friends, dressing up in creative costumes adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your getaway. From retro outfits and movie characters to quirky, imaginative ensembles, fancy dress is a fantastic way to express yourself and make unforgettable memories.
Pack your most inventive costumes, and get ready to immerse yourself in the playful spirit of the weekend. At Serious About Events, we encourage you to let your hair down, get creative, and enjoy every moment of your escape.
Pack Smart and Light
One of the keys to a hassle-free weekend away is packing smart and light. Start by making a list of essentials to avoid overpacking. Choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits. Neutral colours are great for this, as they can be easily coordinated.
Think about layers. Layering not only helps with adjusting to varying temperatures but also allows you to create multiple looks with fewer items. A basic t-shirt can be worn on its own during the day and layered under an open shirt, jumper or jacket in the evening.
Accessories can also change up your look without taking up much space in your suitcase. Scarves, hats, and jewellery can add a touch of personality and style to any outfit.
Enjoy a Fun and Hassle-Free Weekend
The most important thing to remember when deciding what to wear for your adult weekend away is to feel comfortable and confident in your choices. The right clothing will enhance your experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying your time away.
