If you are tired of the gloom and doom of the monsoons, the eternal sunshine of Malaika Arora’s Instagram feed might just tempt you into skipping town for a quick getaway. Whether you have a tropical beach resort in your sights or a cosy mountain cabin, the tight vacay wardrobe will get those double-taps rolling in wherever you are. Ahead, we take a look at the style lessons to be learned from the star’s elevated roster of holiday dressing:

Prints Are Power

Tired of the usual suspects at the pool? Arora recommends letting your inner maximalist out to play with a standout monokini, like her cheetah-printed number served in the verdant hues of green, rounded out classic Aviators and a slicked-back braid.

Blazers Aren’t Just For The Boardroom

If you thought that this 9-to-5 staple didn’t have much life beyond your workwear wardrobe, Arora would like you to reconsider. For further inspiration, take notes from the oversized blazer she chose for a day out in Paris with a slouchy silhouette for some borrowed-from-the-boys appeal.

Never Too Early For Neons

If you are looking to make a statement at the beach, you’ll want to befriend attention-making hues like Arora. For an early morning swim, you’ll find the star in a flaming orange bikini top paired with high-waisted shorts.

Keep It Breezy With Kaftans

Playful prints score majorly in Arora’s playbook for leisurely poolside lounging, like this asymmetrical kaftan that earned her vote. Allow the painterly print to have its moment in the sun by opting for a messy bun and a raincheck on make-up.

Co-Ord Sets Are For Everyone

The one vacay staple that your holiday suitcase will be incomplete without is a co-ord set like Arora’s. With a cold-shoulder blouse and high-waisted shorts, the star’s finishing touches came in the form of a statement alphabet necklace looped around her neck.
