1. A wildly adorable printed midi skirt and tank set that's the perfect combo of comfy and trendy. The "Best Dressed on Sunny Vacation Days" award is about to be yours.
2. A V-neck button-down dress that strikes the perfect balance of comfortable and adorable. Here's lookin' at you, row of buttons!
3. A flared skater skirt if you prefer your OOO outfits to have a little (ok, a lot) of ~flounce.~
4. An asymmetrical midi dress available in short- or long-sleeve styles *and* round- or V-neck necklines, so your new favorite travel basic meets your every need.
5. A bikini with a crisscross top and a cool-as-heck chain detail for anyone who's feeling a bougie vibe for their next beach vacay. Nobody will ever suspect this comes in at under $25.
6. A scoop-neck crop top that's a no-brainer when it comes to pairing with jeans, trousers, shorts, and every kind of skirt in existence. Heck, throw it on under some overalls or a jumpsuit while you're at it!
7. A pleated tennis skort whose built-in shorts will instill in you the confidence to twist, skip, and twirl as you explore a new city. Pockets on the sides of the shorts will come in handy for holding your phone and other small essentials if you want to stay hands-free.
8. A bodycon tank dress that's gonna be a need when you're traveling in wildly warm weather and you need a quick 'n' cute outfit to throw on.
9. A corduroy strawberry dress so your fave summer fruit can travel with you wherever you may roam. I loooove traveling with my Lucy & Yak pinafore dress. It's comfortable, cute as can be, endlessly layer-able with other pieces, and is actually quite an efficient piece since it has huge side and front pockets.
10. A button-down top for anyone who can't stand to wear less than five colors at a time. I proudly consider myself one of those people, thank you very much, and listen, it helps the people I'm traveling with find me in a crowd. What a bonus!
11. A stretch silk midi dress that is my personal favorite travel piece as of late. I've reached for it for everything from a casual balmy day walking around the south of France to a ~fancy~ wedding in upstate New York on a chilly night, and it always feels appropriate. Compliments roll in, I'm more comfortable than ever, and everyone is happy.
12. A pair of original Levi's 501 jeans for anyone who wants to travel with as few pairs of pants as possible. A well-broken-in pair of Levi's is perf. With a no-fuss straight leg, high-rise, and 100% cotton fabric, the 501s are a classic for a reason. Just give 'em a few wears before vacay and they'll be like butter.
13. A polka dot two-piece set so you can just close your eyes and picture yourself on a tropical vacation. There's a 99% chance you're wearing this outfit in that fantasy.
14. A pair of high-waisted shorts with a waist tie that basically doubles as a full-on accessory. What can I say? Any outfit that heavily features a bow is worth taking to the ends of the Earth.
15. A silky midi skirt for a cool spring and summer option in more ways than one. And it even comes in leopard print, which we all agree is a neutral and will match with everything else you bring...right?
16. A reviewer-favorite one-piece with over 8,700 five-star ratings and a plunging neckline that is ready to stun on the beaches of Mykonos.
17. An enviable Big Bud Press short sleeve jumpsuit so magnetic, cool, and comfortable, I think you can rack up compliments on all seven continents. OK, maybe not the best pick for Antarctica, but you get what I'm trying to say.
18. Or a sleeveless jumpsuit if 2023 is finally the year you enter your Jumpsuit Era. And it's about time, too! Welcome to the club, here's your membership card. 👇
19. A high-waisted flowy skirt for anyone who feels their best in easy, breezy 'fits. You're about to be in heaven, and lucky you, there are 19 (!!!) colors and patterns to choose from.
20. A striped T-shirt dress with a super cute tie-belt to give it a bit more shape than the tee dresses you're likely used to. An excuse to bring more than one along!
21. A suit from Buck Mason whose matching blazer and trousers are made of a breathable cotton twill to keep you cool even when you want to have a full suiting moment this summer. They're also super versatile as separates if you don't *quite* have room for both in your carry-on (though it'll be worth the squeeze, trust me).
22. A floral romper with a shirred top that has the benefit of being both super trendy *and* wildly comfortable. Wait, why aren't you wearing this right now?
23. A V-neck tank blouse whose cute lil' buttons are just the cherry on top of an already adorable silhouette.
24. A flared collared dress from the Parisian brand Sandro for anyone who wants to bring some notes of effortless French style on their next trip. I can't get over its little details — like the slightly ruched tie, the collar, the seaming under the bust. And let's go ahead and give the color a round of applause as well.
25. A Levi's denim jacket because if you are currently lacking a denim jacket, I urge you to finally get one. Everyone deserves a well-worn layering piece in what I believe is the greatest fabric ever created.
26. A pair of relaxed linen overalls that will be especially perfect for casual, meandering trips in the country. You, these overalls, and a cup of coffee at your adorable rental your first morning there? The dream.
27. A cropped crochet tank that says "I'm on vacation," without absolutely screaming it, ya know what I mean? That's usually the balance I'm trying to strike when packing for a trip: rocking some fun 'fits without obviously revealing myself as a tourist.
28. A biker-short unitard that's just really cool, if I do say so myself. It's super stretchy, easy to get into, and is shockingly supportive — so much more than I expected from a relatively niche piece of clothing! You can pop a button-up over it for exploring, take a travel yoga class in it, fly comfortably in it, and so much more.
