Spring Getaway Style with Sugarhill Brighton 🌺✈️

Spring has arrived and with it comes that irresistible urge to pack a bag and go — whether that's hopping on a plane to somewhere sun-drenched or simply exploring somewhere closer to home. This season, we're leaning all the way into the joy of getting dressed for travel, and the colour palette? Head-to-toe pink (with a few brilliant supporting acts). From cherry blossom season in Japan to a Sri Lankan beach, here's how we'd style Sugarhill Brighton across four very different springtime escapes.

Madrid in spring is one of life's great pleasures — wide boulevards, golden-hour tapas, and the kind of warmth that calls for layers you can peel off as the day hots up. This outfit is all about colour-blocking with a playful streak. A pink sweatshirt keeps the morning chill at bay, and as temperatures climb, you're left with a matching pink broderie anglaise top and the most cheerful multicoloured stripe wide-leg trousers you've ever packed. The matching striped tote ties everything together and is roomy enough for a baguette, a sunhat, and whatever you pick up in El Rastro market.

What to pack:

• Lightweight sweatshirt

• A colourful, lightweight top 

• Easy wide-leg trousers for casual vibes

• A roomy tote for sunglasses, camera and suncream. 

Packing tip: The stripe trousers and tote are a built-in matching set — one less decision to make in the morning.

Timing a trip to Japan for cherry blossom season is one of the great travel bucket-list moments, and the pink cloud scenery practically demands you dress to match. We're obsessed with how this look plays with pattern — a bold heart-print knit cardigan in blue, red and pink layered over a soft pink tie-front knit vest is the kind of outfit that feels both considered and joyful. The leopard print trousers add a little unexpected edge, and the coordinating leopard tote means you're ready for a full day of temple-hopping and ramen-eating without compromising on style.

The look:

• A lightweight layer for cooler evenings

• A bright top to mirror the blossoms

• Comfy trousers for lots of walking

• A bold tote to carry your souvenirs 

Packing tip: Knit layers pack down small, and spring nights in Japan can still be cool — this combo has you covered from sakura viewing to dinner.

Because not every spring getaway needs a passport — sometimes the best trip is a weekend in one of Britain's most stylish cities. Bristol in spring is genuinely glorious: the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the harbourside, the independent shops and cafés of Stokes Croft. This outfit nails the Bristol vibe perfectly. A gorgeous olive green palm-print bomber jacket is the statement piece, and it works brilliantly against a ribbed pink sleeveless top and easy denim maxi skirt. The fuchsia Sugarhill branded tote adds a hit of colour and doubles as the perfect bag for a day at the farmers' market or a vintage fair.

Style it like this:

• A cool bomber for casual cafe hopping

• A roomy tote to carry the bomber when the sun is shining 

• A classic vest that is effortlessly cool 

• A midi skirt that shows off enough leg for the British springtime sunshine 

Packing tip: The denim maxi skirt transitions from sightseeing to a restaurant dinner with zero effort — just swap trainers for sandals.

For the most tropical of our spring escapes, we're heading to Sri Lanka — and the look completely delivers on the beach-holiday brief. A bright hot pink sun-embroidered tee is the kind of top you'll wear every single day on holiday (we know, we know — we all have that top). Pair it with the most fun pink and coral stripe shorts, and you're beach-ready, market-ready, and ready for a sundowner on the terrace. The green and white stripe oversized shirt is the hero layer for evenings or long tuk-tuk rides, and the matching quilted stripe tote is just the right size for sunscreen, a good book, and a mango from the roadside stall.

Sun-ready staples:

• A relaxed bold tee with playful detail

• Bold printed shorts

• A lightweight striped shirt to throw over swimwear

• A large tote for beach essentials

Packing tip: The stripe shorts and stripe shirt are different colourways — mixing stripes is always a yes when you commit to a complementary colour family.

Whatever your destination, the Sugarhill spring formula is simple: start with pink, add one statement print, layer with something you can tie around your waist, and bring a tote big enough for everything the day throws at you. Sorted. ❤️❤️
