The weekend getaway: Just long enough to escape reality but never long enough. Every holiday weekend should be utilized to check another place off your bucket list, visit friends in far-flung places, or honestly, simply take a much-needed moment for yourself. However you choose to spend the next few months, we firmly believe adults should have summer vacation—and look good doing it. No matter where your travel plans take you, we’ve found your outfits. Now, all you have to do is pack! Bon voyage.
Beach Getaway
This is the time for sandy soles, ocean views, and copious amounts of sunscreen. Finding the right beach outfit can be a tricky balance. (Who doesn’t have a perpetual desktop tab open for flattering swimwear?) But even after you score that perfect tankini or one-piece, your outfit planning isn’t done. Swimsuits alone won’t suffice come dinnertime. You want a look that can go from the shoreside to, well, inside. We advise a multi-purpose set that looks good on its own and over your bikini. Evoke this summer’s style icon—The Little Mermaid—with nautical accessory accents.
Girls Trip
A vacation with your nearest and dearest gals? We’re excited for you! Seize the opportunity to doll up with your favorite ladies like everybody is watching. (And with the amount of laughter you’re about to share in the hotel bar, they probably will. . .) We envision floral patterns, sequins, walkable heels, rhinestones, and diamonds—a girl’s other best friend. In the blur of cocktails and catching up, remember to take plenty of pictures and document this incredible look. You’ll definitely want to re-wear it again.
Country Weekend
It’s so peaceful in the country, it’d be a shame to stress over what to wear. Thankfully, we know. Embrace pastoral gingham prints, shady wide-brim hats, and straw accessories. You’ll be the picture of bucolic beauty. If you want to toughen up your farm look for the ranch, swap your gingham for leather, sweet sandal heels for cowboy boots, and voila! You’ll be the best-dressed character on Yellowstone.
Tropical Escape
When traveling to the tropics, flora and fauna-inspired prints should rival the most picturesque of jungles, but every textile should be airy and breathable in the sweltering heat. Accessorize wisely with lightweight pieces or better yet, ice yourself with sparkly gems. Crystals will keep the good vibes going—and also keep you cool. Your outfit will make you look put together and refreshed all day long, no matter what the humidity does to your hair.
European Jaunt
If you scroll through Instagram this very minute, it looks like everyone and their mothers are traveling to Europe. May we all be so lucky to spend a weekend traversing cobblestone streets, surrounded by the grand architecture of a storied city. If you just so happen to find low-fare flights to Lyon or Vienna—first, do share; second, pack an outfit inspired by European Old-World beauty. With Annina Dirndl’s sophisticated silhouettes and a pair of elegant slacks and velvet flats, no one would ever accuse you of dressing like a tourist.
