10 Vacation Outfit Ideas To Wear This Spring

I’m always hopping from one vacation to the next with a suitcase full of colorful pieces. It’s what I do as a full-time fashion/travel blogger so I feel more than qualified to share ten vacation-ready outfit ideas to wear this season. Lightweight sundresses and beachy accessories are my specialty! Here’s what I’m packing on my next warm-weather getaway.

Post Beach Day Blues

There’s no confidence booster after a full day of sunshine like a strapless top. Two-piece sets are the best because you get three outfits for the price of one. I always pack at least one with me so that I can mix and match to save suitcase space. This one comes in a few different colors but I’m a sucker for this blue! 

Dinner On The Beach

No easier outfit than a simple sundress. This orange one went super viral when I posted it on TikTok last week! It’s got a simple silhouette that looks good on everyone. Dress it up with a pair of chunky espadrilles and a colorful straw bag to match!

Chasing Sunsets

I wore this crochet set on a sunset boat tour a few weeks ago and scored so many compliments on it. The skirt sits just below the hips, for more of a low-rise fit that’s so flattering. The top has a high neckline and an open back that’s so show-stopping. I couldn’t love this yellow more! 

Casual Coverup

You need a cute cover-up for those tropical beach days. This crochet set is the perfect breathable option to throw over your bikini. Super soft too! 

A Day At The Winery

I like to pack at least one fancy dress on every trip “just in case”. Whether you’ve got a nice date night, a winery visit, or a wedding on the agenda, this silk maxi from Princess Polly will do just the trick. This comes in a dozen colors and is the perfect “wear everywhere” dress. It runs a little long so I’ve tossed on a raffia heel and a purse to match! 

Dinner & Drinks

One of my all-time favorite dresses for dinner & drinks after a beach day is this striped number. With tiered ruffles, a plunging neckline, and a lace-up back this couldn’t be any cuter. It’s a lightweight linen so perfect for a casual beach town.

Brunching

I love a mini dress moment and this linen number is no exception… I have this same dress in the maxi version and scored so many compliments on it during my trip to the Dominican Republic that I had to grab the short version too. So chic with a pair of strappy lace-up heels— these Princess Polly ones will elongate the legs in no time. 

Wedding Guest

The only thing more fun than getting dressed for a wedding is getting dressed for a destination wedding! This floral dress screams destination wedding with its bright yellow hue and sweetheart neckline. Add raffia heels and a matching clutch to keep things coastal. 

Beach Pictures

It’s an unspoken rule that you have to bring a white dress on every beach vacation. You never know when you’ll need to refresh those family portraits or celebrate something special! This Fortunate One dress is one of my favorites— a plunging neckline that shows off a little cleavage and a lightweight, linen fabric that’s super breathable for a tropical destination! 

There are so many ways to style this… dress it up or down!

Feeling Frilly

I am currently planning a European summer so that I can wear this two-piece set….no like I’m not even kidding! This is another linen number that would be easy, breezy, beautiful strolling the cobblestone streets of Greece. I love dressing up when I’m playing tourist whether it’s for a sunset dinner or just for a little mid-day shopping.
