Packing the right outfits for your vacation can be difficult — it’s based on a variety of factors, like weather, what activities you’ll be doing there and if you’ll be needing to pack lightly based on what luggage you’re bringing. Luckily, you don’t have to overpack to get the ultimate vacation outfits that are comfy and chic. Here are our top picks.
1. Peasant/Maxi dress
A dress like this is perfect for all kinds of destinations, be it a tropical location or a trip to Europe. It’s not constricting and allows movement for a range of activities. In chillier destinations, you can go for a long-sleeved version, layer cozy leggings underneath or pair with a leather jacket. Dresses like these look great with fancier shoes and sneakers, making this easy breezy essential a suitable day or night look.
2. Leggings and a tunic
No matter where you’re going on vacation, this is a versatile, comfy look that can be mixed and matched for a range of climates or social scenarios. In the fall and winter in cooler destinations, you can layer this with a jacket or chunky, oversized sweater and pair it with ankle boots. When it’s warmer out, just wear the tunic with a pair of sandals or sneakers. A more full-coverage option for places where women are required to dress more modestly.
3. White tee, jeans and wide-brimmed hat
You can’t go wrong with these capsule wardrobe items. A white tee made from cotton will be breathable and match any other garment. In hot weather, it’ll help deflect heat rather than absorb it. Jeans might be a little uncomfortable during a heat wave but are perfect for cool evenings and climates that fluctuate in temperature. Finally, finish it all off with a wide-brimmed hat. Opt for woven in the summer and felt or velvet when it’s chillier outside.
