The secret to a perfectly packed suitcase? Making sure every single piece goes together. A cream and tan color palette might seem obvious, but the key is to playing around with different fabrics and textures for interesting, elevated outfits. Shop my perfect vacation wardrobe below.
On vacation, I wear dresses way more often than in my real life. They’re just so easy! I’m wearing this Tuckernuck tunic dress in the header image. I love the contrast of the white cuffs and collar with the tan crochet body. It’s short but not too short. It’s a perfect vacation dress! For a longer crochet option, I love this Anthropologie sleeveless dress.
I know I already mentioned this, but the trickiest part about packing separates is making sure they go together. When everything is the same color, you don’t have to worry about that! All you need are a few cute tops, like this polo shirt, this sandy colored sweater, or this pointelle tee. From there, you can pair them with any bottoms, like these slouchy Brochu Walker trousers, a silky maxi skirt, or structured linen pants from Frank and Eileen.
Keep your accessories with the tonal texture theme! A strappy, low-heel pair of tan sandals from Veronica Beard will go with everything. I love this slouchy, woven raffia clutch from Tuckernuck! The gold chain strap means you can wear it over your shoulder, too. In fact, anything woven will add a chic finishing touch. This woven straw clutch or this straw tote are both admirable
And finally, don’t forget the essentials for sunbathing. You’ll need a swimsuit. If it’s this cute white one, you can use any of your other pieces as an easy coverup. All that’s left is a stylish straw hat and some great sunglasses, so you can enjoy all that lovely sun without worrying about UV damage.
