Let’s see which 10 must-have pieces you need for your next vacation.
A swimsuit and a coverup
Is it a vacation if you don’t have your swimsuit with you?
Probably not. That’s why the first thing you have to pack is your favorite
swimsuit. Generally, one or two swimsuits will do the trick.
In addition to a swimsuit, don’t forget a coverup as well.
Coverups are perfect pieces to throw over a swimsuit and be about your day.
These pieces are designed so that you can use them over the day, on the beach,
and even at night if you dress them up nicely.
So, start your packing by placing these pieces in.
A sundress
Next on your list should be a nice sundress. A sundress is a
complete outfit that can be worn in many different ways. During the day, wear
it with flip-flops and at night swap them with strappy heels or wedge sandals.
Just a change of footwear will completely transform your outfit.
Check outwholesale print dresses to find your perfect sundress. And if you’re not
into prints, a simple solid-color dress will do the trick. Yellow or white
sundresses look great on tanned skin.
A white T-shirt
When packing for vacation, opt for neutral colors as the
foundation of your outfits. A cropped or traditional white tee is an excellent
choice. These pieces are easily layered and can be worn with pretty much
anything.
You can wear a white tee with linen pants, shorts, skirts
and jeans. A white t-shirt is the most versatile piece that you can find and
take with you on your vacation.
Denim shorts
Since we’re on the topic of versatility, another very
versatile piece is denim shorts. The shorts can be dressed up or down and worn
in almost any setting and occasion.
Use accessories to add personality to your denim shorts
outfits. For example, you can pair denim shorts with a white tee and sneakers.
If that’s too casual for you, swap the sneakers for a pair of wedges or heeled
sandals and you have completely transformed the outfit.
All in all, denim shorts should be an essential vacation
piece, so don’t forget to pack them.
Linen trousers
Linen is the perfect material for hot summer days. That’s
why you shouldn’t forget your favorite pair of linen trousers. Linen is a
perfect fabric because it doesn’t wrinkle easily, so you don’t have to worry
about steaming the trousers on vacation.
Pants in neutral colors are great for combining and making
outfits. Pair your linen trousers with a white tee or a light blouse. Wear the
pants with flip-flops, sandals, or sneakers, and you won’t be wrong.
A pair of jeans
Ideally, you should stick with three pairs of pants in basic
colors, allowing for easy mix-and-match with other neutral or patterned tops
throughout your stay.
In addition to a pair of linen trousers, you should also
pack a pair of jeans with you. Since blue jeans are so versatile, you can pair
them with a loose-fitting blouse or tee for a casual look, a duster for an
early evening stroll, or a sexy, tight-knit top for a night on the town.
A light button-down
Did you know that button-downs are great tops? Not only are
they amazing tops, but they are also great for layering.
This versatile piece can be worn as a swimsuit coverup,
tucked into jeans or denim shorts, or thrown over a simple tee unbuttoned. You
can style a light button-down shirt however you like. That's one of the main
reasons it should be your vacation must-have piece.
Colorful kimono
There is no piece more perfect for vacation than a colorful
kimono. This amazing garment can be worn in numerous different ways and on
different occasions.
You can wear them on the beach or at the pool, you can wear
them during the day by throwing them over a bralette and a pair of shorts. You
can even wear them as dresses for a night out. Simply pair them with a stylish
belt and heels and you’re ready to go.
Three pairs of shoes
When going on vacation, you don’t need more than three pairs
of shoes and this includes the pair on your feet.
So, you will need a pair of sneakers, flip-flops, and dressy
sandals for a summer vacation. Nothing more than that. The fewer shoes you have
the easier to pack.
Accessories
As for accessories, a hat, sunglasses, your favorite
jewelry, and a wicker tote. The tote can be perfect for storing your documents,
sunglasses, and jewelry when traveling.
And once you reach your destination, you can use the same
tote to hold your towel and SPF at the beach.
Personalize the tote bag with a colorful scarf that you will
tie around the handle. And that’s it.
Packing for a vacation can be overwhelming. However, the
goal is to pack versatile pieces that you will be able to use with different
outfits. This will significantly minimize the amount of clothes you have to
bring with you.
