I know we're technically still in the thick of spring, but my mind is already on summer. Nothing brings me more joy than planning my next trip, so I've mentally fast-forwarded to my upcoming summer vacation. (I just returned from Mexico, so it's been easy to stay in that mindset.) I'm already daydreaming about long beach days, strolls through the streets of a new city, and, of course, the outfits I'll be wearing while doing so.
Since I simply can't wait to travel again, I've started building my dream summer vacation wardrobe. From chic linen sets to A-line midi dresses to colorful swimsuits, I've amassed quite the summer wish list. I can't actually shop all these gems myself, so I figured I'd share my favorite vacation finds—including outfits, swim, and accessories—in case you're also planning a summer trip. There are great options for every destination, whether you're heading to Europe or a dreamy tropical locale. I've broken them down by category to make things easier.
