1. A one-piece bathing suit if you want to look and feel like you're wearing an adorable mini dress when you're splashing around (seriously, so much cuter than a traditionally designed swimsuit). Bonus! You won't even have to bother changing or throwing on a cover-up when it's time to leave the pool and hit the town because this baby's plenty stylish as is.
2. A wide-brim Panama hat that serves a triple function for warm-weather getaways: It protects your precious head and face from the sun's harsh rays, stylishly completes your 'fits, and keeps other vacationers wondering, who are they??
3. A ruched V-neck knot-front top that's just too cute to pass on. Don't let the long sleeves fool you — it still shows a sexy amount of skin (and cleavage) and will have you looking and feeling like your best self.
4. A glamorous cutout dress because the whole point of going on this tropical vacay is to soak up literally as much sunshine and warmth as possible.
5. A pair of flowy tie-front pants because you'll look like a beachy boho babe wearing 'em and won't have to worry about your pants getting all sweaty and sticking to your legs (ugh!) when you're out and about enjoying the sun.
6. A printed cover-up to minimize suitcase space while maximizing outfit potential. You can wear this gem in so many different ways — draped over a bathing suit, belted on top of a dress, or tied up over some shorts — and it comes in 41 different patterns! Go ahead, buy more than one... You deserve it.
7. An essential seamless cropped tank for a simple and stylish top you'll be able to pair with all the bottoms you pack in your suitcase. It's one of those super versatile warm weather wardrobe staples, so your best bet here is to stock up.
8. A satin spaghetti strap dress that you'll want for those fancier nights out on your vacay, aka cocktail hour at the rooftop tiki bar.
9. A two-pack of beach wraps so you can transform your bathing suit into not one, but two chic summertime 'fits. These cute cover-ups are exactly what you need for lounging around the resort with a drink (or two) in hand... And they'll hardly take up any space in your suitcase.
10. A cushy pair of slides because if the stylish look doesn't sell you, the breathability and comfort will. Trust me — your feet will thank you for packing these.
11. A breathable button-up shirt that's chic and trendy whether you dress it up or down, but can also serve as an emergency business top in case you have to hop on a quick video call for work. I'm looking at you, work-cationers.
12. A square-neck balloon-sleeve dress for playfully twirling around in the warm sunny destination of your next trip. You'll be giving off such a fun and flirty energy that people won't be able to do anything other than smile when they see you.
13. A strapless bustier that'll have you feeling like a mermaid on land, especially if you wear it with high-waisted pants or a skirt.
14. A glamorous halter-neck maxi dress because pit stains are never the vibe. The cut of this dress doesn't leave much fabric directly under your pits, which means you'll get all the classy style with none of the hassle.
15. A pair of ridiculously stylish frames because you really cannot go wrong adding these bad boys to any outfit, whether on land or sea. They come in a whole bunch of colors, which means the fashion possibilities for vacay and beyond are endless.
16. Or a round pair featuring a larger frame so you can give off a very distinct don't bother me message while you're floating in the pool, just like a celeb. Trust me, no one will have a clue as to your real identity with your eyes hiding behind these UV-protective shades.
17. A tie-front T-shirt dress for when you just don't have the time or energy to put together a cute outfit. Simply throw this on, and pair it with some sandals and earrings and bam! You've got that cute-casual aesthetic going on no matter where in the world you are. Seriously, it's that easy.
18. A triangle top and high-waisted bottom duo for a simple and sleek two-piece suit. It's a classic look for a reason — and that reason is you look mighty fineeeee wearing it.
19. A tulle ruffle-shoulder bodysuit since those stylish sleeves make one heck of a fashion statement. Don this showstopper of a top and pour the mimosas, because it's time for that vacay brunch ladies and gents.
20. A customizable tie-back monokini that's so cute and chic it's practically begging you to take a pic for the 'gram – heck, even if you don't actually go on vacation by a body of water, you should still pose in this stunner and post it... Your followers (and you) will be obsessed — I guarantee it.
21. A maxi dress with a lil' side slit because it's comfy and casual yet can also be dressed up — and all those factors combined make it perfect for literally any part of your trip, from traveling and sightseeing to fancier nights out. Oh, and I almost forgot! It even has pockets!
22. A sheer and flowy cover-up set with matching crop top (and built-in bottoms!) if you want to look and feel like a model strutting down the catwalk whenever you're strolling down the boardwalk. Clear the stage, people — here comes a beachside beauty (aka you).
23. A glitzy mesh top since you're no longer living in the real world, but traveling through a ✨magical fairy land✨ where all worries are gone and your dreams come true. You need a top to match that kind of special vacay-energy, and this is it.
24. A snazzy one-shoulder bodysuit to add a bit of *pizzazz* when you're heading out for happy hour (which, let's be real, is 24/7 when you're on vacation). Best of all, you won't have to worry about this beauty coming untucked while you sip, sip away.
25. An off-shoulder maxi dress that's basically the queen of versatile summer travel dresses. You'll love this simple and sophisticated staple piece well beyond your getaway (and definitely get a ton of use out of it).
26. A JW Pei pouch bag for a stylish and trendy way to tote around all the essentials while you're out sightseeing and exploring. And perhaps more importantly, posing with this in hand will instantly make any photo you take Insta-worthy.
27. A ruffly tie-back swimsuit if you want to ~splash~ around in designer-inspired style at only a fraction of the cost. 😍 Yeah, this seems almost too good to be true (but rest assured, it's not!) — and vacation hasn't even started yet!
28. A pair of snug and supportive bike shorts (with pockets!) that you'll want handy for any active outdoor activities, like those truly stunning hikes and backpacking trips you've got planned. The high-cut waistband won't roll down either, meaning they'll actually stay put.
