Vacation in Style
We’ve all been there, packing for a vacation and defaulting to swimsuits, flip-flops, and maybe a sundress or two. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with laid back beachwear, but there’s a way to do vacation style that feels elevated without sacrificing comfort or ease.
Lightweight, breathable, and always elegant, linen is the MVP of vacation fabrics. Swap your basic shorts for high waisted linen trousers like the ones from Peserico. Pair them with a simple tank or a crisp button down. Linen sets are also having a moment, think TWP Morgans Blazer and matching Howard Pant. This set is polished but relaxed, perfect for elegant dinners or running around town.
Yes, you need a cover up/poncho for all tropical vacations, but why not choose one that can double as an outfit for lunch or drinks? Opt for a kaftan, or a beautiful poncho. Our favorite kaftan dress is from 6397. Made from patch-worked Japanese cotton, it features an oversized fit that's slightly cropped and has a wide sleeve. Another vacation piece that is necessary is the Brunello Cucinelli Poncho. It's the piece you didn't know you needed that will complete all of your vacation looks.

Brunello Cucinelli Poncho, $2,990
Flip flops have their time and place (the actual beach), but when you're exploring or heading out to eat, structured sandals instantly elevate your look. Think The Row Hugh Sandal. With its sleek leather, toe strap, and rubber sole you'll be reaching for these all week long.

Accessories are essential when traveling, not only for style but also protection. Sunglasses are one of the easiest ways to add a touch of fun and practicality. We recommend anything from Krewe due to their UVA and UVB protection. Some of our favorites include the Ellie, Lucy, and Clio.
Vacations are the perfect excuse to lean into a vibe, and that vibe doesn’t have to be just swimsuits and flip-flops. A little bit of thought (and a few versatile pieces) go a long way in creating outfits that make you feel like your most confident, stylish self, even when you’re just wandering the beach or lounging poolside. So on your next trip? Pack the swimsuit… but don’t forget the elevated essentials.
