Vacations are supposed to be stress-free, and there is one surefire way to keep your next vacay relaxed before you leave your house. We’re talking, of course, about packing the right pieces to ensure your vacation wardrobe is A) on point and B) easy to carry, especially if you’re limited to just a carry-on. You don’t need to overpack in order to have a ton of options; what you need are a few key pieces that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits.
Below, here’s a list of must-have vacation fashion items recommended by renowned stylists. Together, their picks create the ultimate vacation capsule wardrobe that allows you to save room in your suitcase while still having a ton of day-to-day options to choose from, no matter how long your stay.
A Bucket Hat
Give your vacation wardrobe a bit of throwback energy starting with the bucket hat — a.k.a., the perfect accessory to block out the sun or to add a bit of panache to your polo shirt and trousers.Bucket hats are giving men and women of all ages and walks of life shade while keeping them ‘cool’.
A Sundress
By simply swapping flip-flops for a pair of sexy strappy heels or even some (think Calgary Stampede) cowgirl-inspired boots, sundresses can be your perfect done-in-one day-to-night piece for a summer vacation. Pair with a belted blazer, layer with a fun sweater or wrap for evening, or keep it casual wedges and a fun tote! It’s a summer must!
A Statement Accessory
While you may not need to stuff five pairs of shoes into your suitcase, a statement accessory is something you might consider adding in. This could be as simple as a vintage chain belt or an amazing collar necklace. This will be the one thing that helps elevate your daytime look to a fun evening occasion. Don’t feel comfortable travelling with the family jewels? Opt for a statement headband instead.
A Wicker Tote
Wicker totes are the It vacation bag because they’re so versatile. These handbags are great to hold your towel and SPF at the beach, or throw a fun scarf around the handle and take it to a fabulous lunch.
Your Favourite Sunglasses
Don’t forget your sunnies! When you talk about travelling, how can you forget sunglasses as they are the most important to keep your eyes protected and calm to enhance your travelling experience with your look?
A Kimono
Kimonos also keep the chill from the airplane off my legs while en route. If you are traveling from a colder climate to a warmer climate, a kimono makes the transition to warm weather super simple.
