There’s nothing more quintessentially summer than the great Kiwi road trip.  Sun, sand, jandals and Frujus all come to mind when thinking of summer road trips, but, what’s a girl to wear to ensure she stays fashionable on those long hot car rides?  FashioNZ has you covered with these hot essentials to keep you looking stylish on the road this summer.

Sunhat
Super stylish and functional, protecting us from the harsh summer sun’s rays.  Big sunhats are in this season, as well as the perennial favourite, the fedora.  These cheap and chic styles are from Glassons. www.glassons.com

Sunglasses
Sunnies are a necessity for cruising past the beaches this summer.  Aviators never go out of style; and for a twist on the classic aviator model, check out the Ray-Ban Road Spirit, available from Sunglass Hut.   For extra inspiration, view more summer sunglasses here.

Bathing Suit
Of course, road tripping means stopping at lots of beautiful beaches, so a bikini or one-piece is an absolute necessity!

The essential cover-up that will take you from beach to cafe, and also protect you from the summer sun, be sure to throw this in your suitcase and beach bag!  We love these gorgeous Kaftan-style picks from Trelise Cooper.

Shorts
Comfy and stylish, these will keep you cool in the hot car.

Jandals
Getting from car to beach means you can’t be without jandals on your road trip. And who says jandals can’t be fashionable? Havianas do the best range, from basics in bright colours to cute prints – it’s hard to choose just one to love!  Check out http://www.havaianasnz.com for stockists and more information.

The maxi
The “it-dress” for summer, the maxi is also perfect for road-tripping as it’s just so easy. Throw it on, slip into some sandals and you’re good to go.
