Are these skirts suitable holidays?

I have these 2 skirts from Primark, and was wondering whether these are suitable for wearing on holiday? Daytime sightseeing or evenings out? They have a slight sheen to them so I feel a little unsure whether they seem too glitzy.

And if anyone can help with suggestions on how to style them, that would be great!

They're fine.
Tucked in vest top and flip flops or Birkenstocks would be my first thoughts.

You could wear these for both day and night, plain t-shirt/vest top tucked in with flat sandals, plain trainers, or wedges or heeled sandals for the night.

Not sure why you would think that style and the two colours are Glitzy????

A cool cotton top and sandals/flip flops. Sorted.

I don’t suit tucked in tops so I’d wear a T-shirt that came to my waist or just below it, ideally meeting the top of the waistband. Slight scooped neck as that suits me body shape. Sandals or flip flops.

Surely it depends on the holiday? Caravan in Skegness or 5* resort in the Maldives?

They look a bit creased on the front, I'm not sure they'd pack well.

I would think satiny would feel sweaty during the day anywhere hot. Fine for evenings though.

Yes hadn't thought of that.

@TheFlis12345 hahaha somewhere in between, possibly Spain or Morocco, not 5 star though.
