Holiday essentials 2022: All the best bits for your vaycay suitcase

Brought to you by Opera Lane.
Holiday booked?
Suitcases dusted off and out on the bed ready for packing?
If you’ve been re-wearing the same old reliable pool and beach basics for years, this might be the time to update your holiday wardrobe. After all, most of us have skipped two years of vacation memories, it’s high time we made some new ones… and that calls for a fresh look or two.
Opera Lane is bursting with comfortable and flattering pieces for summer ’22, from chic cover-ups that will take you from the swimming pool to sundowners at the pool bar, to roomy beach bags big enough to stow all your bits (and allow you to find them without completing an excavation of everything inside).
