Holiday Clothing on a budget

Options
Ok guys im going egypt in 7 weeks and this will be my first holiday in 4 years!

I no longer fit in any of my old holiday clothing so need to buy new ones but i dont want to spend too much. I've had a look on the net but cannot find anything at a reasonably price.

Can anyone suggest anywhere?

    Charity shops! Then you can leave it behind.

    Or back to the old faithfuls of Primani or George?

    Definitely Primark for things like tops to go over swimwear - they are usually only £3 and are just as nice as the £30 equivalents at M and S. Go early in the day before it starts to look like a jumble sale!
  • Got most of my Egypt holiday stuff from eBay, cheap maxi dresses for a quid or 2, vest tops from primark. I took far too many clothes and shoes though!!
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!

    Tesco and Sainsburys also have a good range of inexpensive holiday wear.

    Loads of nice vests in primark today for £2.00, also had some t shirts for £1.00, £2.50 & £3.00, nice summery colours, and looked quite well made for that price.

    ps take a couple of cover ups, since it gets really hot!

    Primark all the way!!!! They have a FAB holiday range which generally hits the stores in Jan/Feb so you should be able to pick up a whole suitcase full of clothes for next to nothing! :)

    Another vote for primark here. Odds on the things are going to be trashed by the time you get back, stretched, covered in lotion, salt stains etc...Better trash something for a couple of quid than anything nice.

    Just try not to think of the poor little kiddies making the stuff, avoid the chavs as much as possible and remember to shower afterwards...

    Def. Primark! You can get loads of stuff very cheaply, especially t shirts, tops, swimwear & cover ups.

    Also try Tesco, George @ Asda & Peacocks.

    Have a great holiday!
