Help - Christmas in Canaries wardrobe disaster!

10 replies

user1468942365 · 22/11/2018 20:45

I need the wisdom of the hive. Got a week in the Canaries as a last minute cheap break in December. It won't be hot hot. Plus, I'm still carrying a bit of summer weight. (Gone from a 14 to a 20 over summer) but I'm tall. (And not going to let it get me down!)
What the hell do you wear when it's not burning hot on holiday??? Day and night!
Thank you in advance for your help!

A denim jacket over your normal summer dresses might work for the evening.

What temperatures?

Cotton scarf/wrap thing?
Long sleeves
Thin vests for layering just in case

I think 22 degrees ish. I'm thinking shorts and pretty vests in the day and either jeans or maxi dresses like princess said with a jacket. I can't picture it! My hols are usually Greece in 35-40 degrees! I've never really been to the Canaries as an adult!

Yes, layers is probably sensible

Think of it as like a UK summer. So could be warm enough during the day to sit on the beach in a bikini. Or it could be jeans and t shirt weather with a cardi. At night it gets chilly, sunset is at 6pm ish. You need warm jumpers, some trousers, sock and shoes.

Are you staying in hotel? If in a villa take winter PJs.

I always take cycling shorts to put under dresses as my chub rub is always worse in the heat

Cardigans, leggings under dresses, jeans nice too and Sandals.
