![Less Basic, More Statement: The Colorful Summer Items I'm Taking With Me to Spain [clone]](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rWYZncSXnVWRXkAmeJ2zf8-1920-80.jpg.webp)
So long, NYC. Spain is calling my name—temporarily, that is. I'm ready for sunshine, a spritz, and all the style inspiration that Madrid and Mallorca have to offer. While researching what to pack, where to shop, and what to eat while I'm on holiday, I stumbled upon a few brands who have inspired a very colourful packing list. Royal blue, red, butter yellow, and Kelly green will be the stars of the Spanish summer capsule wardrobe, so naturally, I had to prepare. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to pack the following items into my trusty carry-on.
My holiday outfits consist of one of Free People's just-launched linen sets, new-season sandals, and eyewear options that can all be mixed and matched. So if you're like me and ready to retire the New Yorker neutrals for summer, join me in shopping the following fashion items.
