Strap details are everywhere, and all you really need to pair them with is a cute handbag and statement shoes.

If you like to keep it more casual on vacation, throw a light cardigan over a bikini top and jeans.

There's something about an airy maxi skirt that just feels so summery. Pair it with a colorful top and you've got a breezy but fire look.

I like when vacation outfits are easy to style. Printed jeans keep the look elevated, but all you need to do is pair them with minimal accessories and a basic top.

Midi skirts have always been around, but ever since Jacquemus released its version on the spring 2021 runways, the style has completely blown up. Pair with a second-skin top and sandals for the ultimate summer vibe.

We clearly can't get enough of crochet around here, and for valid reasons. Wear a crochet vest or cardigan over a top or a swimsuit.

My favorite vacation combo is tying a blouse over a dress. It's the only kind of layering I'll accept in the summertime.

If you're heading to an island or somewhere with a beach, you need to have a variety of swimsuits on deck.
