Essential Outfits for Your Summer Vacation

Breezy Dress

Whether you’re a fan of maxi, midi or mini dress lengths, you’ll want to tuck a breezy dress into your suitcase. A pretty and stylish dress can serve you many ways, from a day of sightseeing to a nice dinner out or even a swimsuit cover-up. Depending on your plans for the day, pair it with sandals, sneakers or heels. And don’t forget a light jacket, cardigan sweater or wrap if it cools down at night or if you happen into a highly air-conditioned venue.  Shop summer dresses.

Short Sets

It’s hard to resist a cute short set for summer. This matchy-matchy look is playful and stylish and can also work as separates to create multiple looks. Look for them in bright colors and prints. Let the set be the star and pair them with a simple t-shirt or tank top underneath to create different looks.  Shop short sets.

Duster Kimono

I’ve been in love with duster kimonos lately. Not only do they add a dramatic touch of flowy fabric that wafts behind you when you enter a room, but it also serves as a lightweight layer that’s perfect for summer. Wear it over a shift dress to add a little flair for an evening look, jazz up a simple shorts and t-shirt look or use it as a swimsuit cover-up and protect your arms from sunburn. See more ideas on how to wear a duster kimono in my  recent article.  Shop duster kimonos.

Athleisure and Outdoor Activewear

You never know what the weather will throw at you when traveling. Be prepared for rainy days with some hearty outdoor activewear. You’ll be happy you brought a rainjacket, an UPF/SPF sun protection top, hiking or yoga pants, and all-weather walking shoes. These will also come in handy if you want to do some serious sightseeing/shopping walks around the city and is a comfortable choice for long flights or car rides. Learn more about SPF clothing in my  previous article.  Shop active wear.
