Vacation Ready: What to Pack, Wear, and Style This Summer
Vacation style is more than outfits — it’s a feeling. The moment you slip into a dress that moves with the breeze, or layer light linen over sun-warmed skin, you know: you’ve arrived. This season’s wardrobe calls for elegance without effort — pieces that feel as good at brunch as they do by the beach.
Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a two-week getaway, consider this your guide to building a vacation wardrobe that travels well — and looks even better.
The Palette: Tones That Travel
Soft, lived-in colors are having a moment — from seafoam greens and sun-faded lilac to earthy neutrals and warm creams. These shades flatter sunlit skin, photograph beautifully, and layer easily from day to night.
Style tip: Choose one standout color per look, and keep the rest soft..Opt for our Karina Dress in Lilac with tan flats and gold jewelry.
What to Pack: Summer Staples
1. The Open-Back Midi Dress
Elegant enough for dinners, easy enough for daytime exploring. Wear it barefoot on the beach or with sculptural earrings and a sleek sandal.
2. A Statement Slip Dress
Low backs, subtle sheen, and lightweight fabric make this a favorite for weddings, cocktails, or rooftop evenings. Add pearl earrings and a low bun to keep it clean and timeless.
3. Tailored Separates
A sleeveless vest, relaxed trousers, and a light layer can take you from airport lounges to city dinners. Add strappy sandals or low heels for polish.
4. One Hero Accessory
A woven clutch, bold earring, or silk scarf that instantly elevates even your most minimal look.
Where to Wear It: Style by Destination
Seaside Escapes
Think: Amalfi, Tulum, or Palm Beach
Pack breathable dresses in natural fabrics, open backs, and relaxed silhouettes. A soft green midi with a woven bag and shell earrings nails the coastal look.
Garden Brunches & Afternoon Teas
Think: Santa Barbara, Charleston, or countryside retreats
Florals are obvious.Our Slip Dress in cream with red lace is a fresh alternative. Style with a soft sandal and bold earring.
Warm-Weather Weddings
Think: Mykonos, Marrakech, or Lisbon
Explore our dress shop for dresses that catch the light — slip styles with lace, satin finishes, or romantic color. Keep your accessories minimal and your silhouette dramatic.
City Breaks
Think: Paris, New York, or Madrid
Layer a midi dress with a structured blazer or lightweight jacket. Finish with a sleek heel or statement flats, and a pop of red or gold to pull it together.
Final Notes: Pack Light, Dress Bright
Vacation wardrobes should move with you — not weigh you down. Think light layers, tonal dressing, and versatile silhouettes you can wear more than once, styled in new ways.
This season is about softness, simplicity, and clothes that feel like a second skin. Wherever you’re headed, dress like you’ve already arrived.
