Summer Vibes Only: Plan Your Holiday Lookbook in South Africa
It’s almost time for the holidays, and that means planning the perfect summer outfit to match the season!
In South Africa, December is more than just a month—it’s a lifestyle. Dezemba, as it is better known by the locals, signifies a time to enjoy summer, festivities, and celebrations to the fullest!
Days are spent lounging on the beach, and nights are filled with vibrant nightlife. Everyone is in festive mode, taking a break from standard office life and instead enjoying much-needed relaxation and celebration.
So, of course, it goes without saying that your wardrobe needs to match this vibe—whether you are a local or a tourist! Either way, we can guarantee that at some point, you will understand the true meaning of Dezemba when you’re enjoying a lekker braai surrounded by your friends and family.
In this blog, we present the perfect Caterpillar lookbook that will have you ready for a true Mzansi Dezemba holiday!
1. To Cap Or Not To Cap?
Although the gorgeous African sun creates some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, it is certainly not something to underestimate.
When visiting South Africa, having adequate sun protection is an absolute must. Visitors can expect temperatures as high as 40°C, along with a high UV index. In addition to a strong sunblock, a stylish hat wouldn’t hurt!
Luckily, with Cat Apparel, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to headwear. Whether you see yourself as more of a mesh foam cap person or a safari dresser, we’ve got plenty of options.
2. Beat The Glare
As you are enjoying the sunshine, we are sure that you don’t want to be squinting 24/7.
That is why, a cool pair of shades should definitely be on your outfit look list. Not only will this help protect your eyes, it always instantly elevates a look, and let’s be honest, simply screams summer holiday!
Our range of sunglasses provides you with an endless choice of shades to suit any and every style! If you love a colourful tint, then you can find them online. Or, if you prefer the more subtle look, we have something for everyone.
3. Colour Me Summer!
In South Africa, summer isn’t limited to the traditional festive colour scheme. On the contrary, as our summer season brings bright, vibrant colours in nature, so too does our fashion palette follow suit.
You’ll see many locals rocking bright oranges, blues, and greens, along with fun and funky patterns.
We’d definitely say that the Cat Footwear Supercharged range is the perfect footwear to sport during this season. That’s not to say our iconic yellow apparel should be overlooked—after all, what says ‘summer’ better than warm yellow?
4. Bag It, Don’t Drop It!
Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring vibrant cities, or enjoying an exciting night out with friends, one thing is certain: you’ll need something compact to keep all your essentials in.
Pockets are so out at the moment. Why? Because it’s too easy to drop important items or lose them altogether. Opting for a stylish yet compact carry-on is the smarter choice.
Our range of bags is perfect for this! Available in neutral colours that are sure to match any outfit, you can shop for small or medium bags that best suit your style.
