Clothes you can wear inside out! From reversible tops and skirts to a handbag that flips to change colour
- 'Buy carefully' Eliza Scarborough says
- Tops, skirts, dresses and even handbags can be turned inside out
- Thanks to their differently patterned undersides, you can get a new look
Do you dream of saving space in your holiday suitcase, buying two items of clothing for the price of one and making your wardrobe go much further?
Well, there’s now a simple - and stylish - answer to all these dilemmas: reversible fashion. Buy carefully and you can turn these tops, skirts, dresses and even handbags inside out to get a totally new look thanks to their differently patterned undersides.
And there’s no need to worry about zips, seams or tags - there are none on any of these clothes, so it couldn’t be easier to change your look. Here, Eliza Scarborough finds the brightest new designs to save you space and freshen up your summer wardrobe.
BASICS WITH A TWIST
Navy and yellow top, £35, seasaltcornwall.co.uk Floral and stripe skirt, £55, seasaltcornwall.co.uk Sandals, £17.99, newlook.com
You can never have too many basics. Whether this is in the form of a plain T-shirt, a smart A-line skirt or a fun print, it can be handy to own the same style in multiple colours.
However, this reversible outfit makes all that unnecessary - and frees up space in your wardrobe - as it gives you a navy and a yellow jersey T-shirt, and a striped skirt and playful floral alternative.
The designs will also take you from summer to autumn, so you won’t have to go out shopping as soon as the weather turns.
Plus, an A-line skirt is always a good investment if you’re top heavy, as it works wonders at balancing out your figure.
DAINTY DOTS OR SUPER STRIPES
Stripe and spot maxi dress, £40, cottontraders.com Pink and beige bag, £30, oasis-stores.com Sandals, £37.99, newlook.com
Love navy and white, but can’t decide if you’re a Breton stripe girl or a polka dot lady?
With this jersey maxi dress, you can be both!
The reversible handbag is a great addition, too, and gives you two colours for the price of one - cream and pink. Who said that women don’t pack light?
DOUBLE TAKE COSSIE
If you’re one of those women who are always trying to squeeze an extra swimming cossie into your holiday bag, then look no further than his elegant reversible swimsuit from Biondi Couture.
Opt for the plain blue look when you’re sunbathing, then reverse it so you’ve got a printed top to wear with a skirt or sarong when you have lunch at the poolside bar.
And because the swimsuit is not cut too high on the leg, it is also extremely flattering. An all-round winner.
GET FOUR LOOKS IN ONE OUTFIT

The great thing about this top and skirt is that there are four different looks you can choose to wear.
Fancy a yellow silk top paired with spots, or a white alternative with the same pencil skirt?
Well, swapping between the outfits couldn't be simpler.
And if the worst happens and you get a mark on one item or spill a drink down yourself, you can flip it inside out with total ease. No one need know!
