Brightly pedicured toes in the sand, napping under the warm sun, buying way too many souvenirs: It must be vacation. Though we do love traveling for these blissful reasons, we’re really focusing on what we’ll be packing… because, after all, a trip to the tropics isn’t complete without a fun-in-the-sun look to match. Right? And whether you’re planning a day by the pool or a tour through town, these outfit combos are sure to bring the heat (and make for the perfect snapshot).
Where: Poolside, Baby
Wear: A Chic One-Piece
If your agenda is filled with nothing but lounging in the sun, then do you really need anything but a swimsuit? One-pieces are the new bikinis, and with fresh lace-up and cutout details, they’re anything but conservative. Try one in an abstract print that highlights your figure, without revealing too much. Bonus: Bathing suits take up such little space in your carry-on – you can pack a whole week’s worth!
Where: Taking In the Local Scene
Wear: An Off-the-Shoulder Dress
Sampling authentic cuisines, shopping the markets, and, of course, posing for one too many pics: A striped, off-the-shoulder dress is what your AM-to-PM plans beg for. With just the right amount of skin exposure, you can perfect that sun-kissed glow you’ve been dreaming of. Though we aren’t ones to advise a day of walking in heels, summery wedges are hard to resist. And hey, why not pack a pair of trendy sneakers in your carry-on (just in case)?
