During vacation season, “packing light” is a running joke among fashion lovers. After all, our beach wear is a totally different species to our evening wear and don’t even get us started on shoes.
Fortunately, years of experience has helped us master the art of packing what we need and just a little more. These are the five fashion items you should not go without.
Oversized Beach Dress
A loose beach dress is a must. It’s important to have an item you feel totally comfortable in even on the hottest of days and the biggest of buffets. Maxis are great too and the floatier, the better.
A Neutral Evening Dress
Choosing a more neutral dress for dinner means you can wear it more than once and mix up your accessories. Keeping it low key means you can wear it at brunch too.
A Light Jacket
Although the evenings are still warm in most vacation locations, there can sometimes be a cool breeze, which can get chilly if you are still a little wet from your late-night swim. Bring a light jacket or throw to slip on at night.
Oversized Hat
Oversized hats make for the best photos. They are also super practical and keep the sun off your face and shoulders so you don’t have to stay out of the sun altogether.
Beach Bag
A light beach bag is also a must for us. One which can fold up into your luggage is ideal, as long as all your beach essentials fit. Crochet and net are our favorites for 2019.
