Ciao Ciao Vacation Is the Ultimate Secret for Your Summer
Ciao Ciao Vacation is about to be your latest obsession. If you want to channel a bright, colourful European-summer-inspired wardrobe this year, look no further. Ciao Ciao Vacation, created by Laura Liles, is the perfect holiday wardrobe. Laura has another brand, Kingsa Csilla. She shared that Ciao Ciao Vacation was “the result of an acceptance of duality.” She added that it was born from her personal inability to commit to one single aesthetic. And, to continue with the metaphor she mentioned, CCV is a different flavour to Kinga Csilla. It serves a different taste.
The brand is routed in a holiday aesthetic, hence why it is perfect for summer. The clothes perfectly combine a beach and city aesthetic, creating clothes that can transition across the globe on your travels. Laura explained:
“Ciao is different because its story is unique. It’s informed by my own nostalgic travel memories and that of my team. It is a manifestation of youthful joy and summer love! I’m designing to express that feeling you get when the plane door opens, and the air rushes in at twenty degrees hotter than your place of departure. That’s a ciao mood. Simultaneously, I see Ciao as an outlet to connect with more people. That is because we’re talking to a different audience but also because CCV is a direct-to-consumer brand.”
Ciao Ciao Vacation’s latest collection epitomises this feeling. The clothes look like summer. There is no other way to put it. I would love to wear every item all summer long without needing anything else. The vibrant colours, fun patterns and interesting textures make for a versatile wardrobe that can transition from day to night and from beach to bar.
The Lucia Maxi Dress
The Lucia Maxi Dress is the perfect light and airy summer dress, made for wandering the picturesque streets of Italy this summer. The halter-neck detail not only makes the dress adjustable but also complements the scoop neckline and plunging back. The vibrant yellow tone combines with the linen material to make a dress that effortlessly represents summer. Pair this with flat flip-flops and a raffia handbag for your ultimate summer outfit.
The Strawberries and Cream Wavy Cotton Knit Crop and Short Set
This set is one of my favourite items from the collection. The wavy pattern provides a refreshing take on classic stripes and really complements the slightly open knit to create a much more interesting look than its more traditional alternatives. This set is so versatile; you can wear them together for the perfect beachy look. Style the shorts with an oversized white T-shirt and some trainers if you’re going for a more casual outfit, or pair the top with jeans or trousers and a pair of heels in the evening. With this set, the world is truly your oyster.
The Bella Flare Pants
Last but by no means least is my personal favourite item from the collection, the Bella Flare Pants. I first saw these trousers on Amanda Djerf before their release and have not stopped thinking about them since. Amanda styled the vibrant flares with Ciao Ciao Vacation’s Bakery Tee, and the look of a more minimal oversized t-shirt with such an eye-catching pair of trousers set me on track for my whole summer wardrobe. Since seeing this picture, I have been styling my more out-there trousers with plain oversized tees and loving it. I cannot recommend this style enough.
