Your Easy Breezy Vacation Packing List

Sunshine season has arrived and we’re so ready for a getaway (and even more ready to plan those summer vacation outfits). Who’s with us? Look no further for the ultimate packing list of what to take with you. Meet the pieces that deserve a space in your suitcase. 

1. Modest Swimwear Separates

Shop the look: Teal Minnesota Beach Towel, Camilla Swim Top, Swim & Sport Skirt in Blue

If you’ve been missing sun, sea and sand, make sure you have everything you need to enjoy a dreamy day at the beach – starting with the perfect swimwear set. Our modest styles make for a stylish beach cover-up, with quick-drying fabric to keep you cool and comfortable after a refreshing dip in the ocean. Don’t forget to pack a brightly-colored beach towel, too. This one reminds us a little of home, wherever we are.

2. Sunshine-Ready Accessories

Shop the look: Gold Havana Metal Frame Sunglasses, Light Beige Straw Sun Visor 

Prep for warm weather with the perfect accessories to complement your summer vacation outfits. Stay stylish and protected from the sun’s rays with a sleek hat to keep you cool as the temperatures rise. We love a wide-brimmed style paired with oversized sunglasses for a touch of old school glamour. Just sit back, relax, and get stuck into your next vacay-ready read (without the glare of the midday sun in your eyes).

3. Daytime Denim 

Shop the look: Button Down Denim Midi Skirt, Kathryn A-Line Dark Denim Skirt

Destination: daytime style. If you’re looking for easy summer vacation outfits to wear when exploring the local town or having long lunches in the sun, you can’t go wrong with a timeless denim skirt. Choose between a classic modest midi, loose-fitting maxi or A-line style to find the perfect shape to suit you. Mix and match with a simple t-shirt or printed blouse for a comfortable yet stylish look, whatever your vacay plans that day. 

4. Effortless Eveningwear  

Shop the look: Marian Linen Striped Midi Dress, White Overlay Midi Dress

We love getting dressed up for dinner. But our go-to evening summer vacation outfits are those that require the least amount of thought, so we can get back to feeling those chilled vibes. Enter floaty midi and maxi dresses, the ‘one and done’ item to take you from late afternoon drinks to dinner with friends and family. Look out for breathable fabrics like linen and cotton in light and airy colors to stay cool and fresh on warm summer nights.

5. ‘Go With Everything’ Tan Sandals

Shop the look: CL by Chinese Laundry Natural Admire Leather Sandals, Tan Wooden Block Slingback Sandal

 

Save precious room in your luggage with a classic, suits-all-outfits pair of tan sandals. The perfect shade to go with every color in your closet, opt for effortless flats for style and comfort, or chic block heels to give your summer vacation outfit a little extra glam. Pair your tan sandals with anything from maxi and midi dresses to denim skirts and blouses. Trust us, this chic staple never goes out of style.

6. Luggage for the Long Haul 

Shop the essentials: Checkered Essentials Case, Hand Woven Jute Handbag

Save your suitcase from a toiletry spillage disaster (why does our shampoo always leak on our favourite summer vacation outfit?) with a carry-all essentials case. Splitting everything into organised compartments, you’re less likely to forget your favorite product and will save much-needed space in your suitcase. Another space-saving tip: swap your usual carry-on handbag for an oversized beach bag, filled with all your in-flight or road trip essentials. That’s one less bag to pack...

7. Summer Beauty Essentials

Shop the essentials: Shea Butter Hand Cream, Eclair Natural Lip Balm

We never travel without our beauty essentials, from our daily skin routine to little indulgences to take on the go. The two products we never leave at home: a hand cream and a lip balm, keeping skin soft, smooth and hydrated after long journeys (which can zap the moisture from our skin). Keep this duo in your carry-on for a little pocket-sized pampering en route.
