This pretty €18 Penneys jumpsuit is the stuff of holiday wardrobe dreams

Just throw on and go.

Anna O'Rourke

When fantasising about an upcoming holiday, do you imagine yourself as a more glamorous, interesting version of yourself?

Going away is a break from reality and, in my mind, a chance to pretend to be someone else.

Maybe I’ll be the sort who likes snorkelling or red wine or who can pull off a straw hat when I’m away, I always think myself as I scour Booking.com for reasonably-priced hotel rooms.

As part of this, going for a chilled-out, boho look that says “I never get stressed in any scenario ever” is always a priority for my hols.

For this reason, I’ll definitely be grabbing this dreamy jumpsuit in Penneys before I head off this year.

I’ll wear it with Birkenstocks and a cross-body bag during the day and then cute heeled sandals at night; oh-so-casually draping a denim jacket over my shoulders.

It is gloriously loose and will look lovely against a tan, which I will get from a bottle and not the sun as my natural complexion is a blue tone and refuses to take a colour.

I’m aware that the jumpsuit alone won’t turn me into an Instagram stunner who gets 2,000-plus likes for an image of me laughing with a glass of wine – but it will get me closer to that and that it what matters.

For €18, it seems more than worth it.
