Oh hey there, world traveler! If you’re getting ready to jet off on your next big adventure, you’re going to need outfits that are just as exciting as where you’re headed. Whether you’re off to discover a new city, hitting the road for spring break, or setting sail to chill on a beach, finding the perfect travel outfits that blend comfort and style is a must.
Let’s dive into our guide on how to pack like a pro and create feel-good travel outfits this spring and summer!
Must-Have Travel Clothes
Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a weeks-long vacation, the right clothes can make all the difference! Here are a few travel essentials that you can’t leave without this spring:
- Easy-to-Pack Skirts: Made for going out or hanging in, skirts (and skorts!) are an easily packable piece you’ll love on your next trip. Try the It Knit Skort in your fave neutral hue, paired with a crop top and light overshirt.
- Comfy Pants & Jeans: Bring your fave jeans and pants (pro tip: try baggy & relaxed straight styles for extra comfort) in light, breezy fabrics that can handle your on-the-go day.
- Versatile Shirt & Tops: Go for tops you can mix and match to create different looks depending on your plans! Bring everything from basic layerable tees and tank tops to flowy blouses and going-out tops for a night out.
- Lightweight Layers: When the airport AC or ocean breeze hits TOO much, grab your tried-and-true denim jacket or oversized Go Big Beach shirt to layer up.
Packing Tips for Vacation Outfits
Packing for a trip doesn’t have to mean compromising on style! With a few tips, you can bring everything you need to easily create cute ‘fits.
Create a travel capsule wardrobe: Pack efficiently by creating a capsule wardrobe! Just pick a few well-loved pieces that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. Stick with versatile items like your go-to shorts, classic jeans, a neutral dress, and a few comfortable tops.
Choose breathable fabrics: Lightweight fabrics are easy to pack! Bring multiples of your fave summer pieces like sundresses, t-shirts, and crop tops made with breathable fabrics.
Add accessories to elevate your outfits: Accessories can take your travel outfits to the next level, so pack a few statement necklaces, some bag options, and hats to transform a basic outfit into an on-trend look. Plus, accessories are the easiest (and smallest) things to pack when you’re low on luggage space but still want some variety.
