When it comes to packing for summer vacations, I like to bring comfortable pieces that won’t wrinkle easily and are versatile, so I know I’ll be able to wear them more than once. Whether you’re heading to the beach for a long weekend or hopping on a plane for a week-long vacation, here are three Summer Vacation Outfit Ideas to pack for your trip.
Afternoon in Town
Blue Ruffle Popover Top / White Demi-Boot Jeans / Gold Bar Necklace / Gold Bangle Bracelet / Rope Handle Basket Bag / Slide Sandals
If you’re looking for a casual and cute daytime outfit for lunch, shopping in town, or sightseeing, this would be my pick. Start with this versatile blue ruffle top. I love that you can style it with white demi-boot jeans and slide sandals during the daytime and easily dress it up in the evening with espadrille wedges and a rattan clutch for a date night. These slide sandals are under $25, and this rope handle basket bag is on sale for 50% off. It’s a great daytime carry-all bag that doubles as a wonderful beach bag. Lastly, I’d pick simple and timeless pieces like this gold bar necklace and bangle bracelet for accessories.
Stroll on the Beach
Navy Stripe Hoodie / Denim Shorts / Sunglasses / Pearl Stud Earrings / Straw Tote Bag / Beige Raffia Sandals
Summer Vacation Outfit Ideas aren’t complete without a cozy outfit you can wear on beach walks or morning coffee runs. This navy stripe hoodie is the perfect lightweight layer to throw on with a pair of jean shorts on cooler mornings or evenings. It’s over 40% off right now and also comes in navy. Style it with raffia sandals and a straw tote bag. I love this simple straw tote that’s under $115. Finally, accessorize with sunglasses and pearl earrings to tie together this effortless outfit.
Happy Hour
Floral Maxi Dress (also available here) / Twisted Gold Hoop Earrings / Woven Foldover Clutch / Cream Wedge Espadrilles
This floral maxi dress brings me all the joy. I love the classic silhouette paired with the bold summery print. It’s a gorgeous dress for an evening happy hour or dinner date night. It’s been a bestseller so far and is finally restocked in all sizes. I’d wear it with cream espadrille wedges. I love that they’re incredibly comfortable to walk or stand in. And accessorize with gold hoop earrings and a woven foldover clutch that’s under $90 to tie this Summer Vacation Outfit together.
