Summer is almost here and with its arrival comes vacation plans, warmer weather, and new clothes (hey, we don’t make the rules, we just abide by them).
The key to travel dressing is combining comfort and utility with style. So what summer trends can we look forward to this year? Oh so much goodness:
Lace-up sandals
Nothing says summer more than a pair of sandals. In particular, lace-up sandals—the kind that criss-cross around your legs ala Kendall Jenner—are a sexy and simple way to dress up any outfit. Not only do they catch the eye, they’re also a comfortable choice for days spent roaming around new sites and streets. Just beware of the criss-cross tan lines.
Jumpsuits
What one piece of clothing can make an entire outfit? The jumpsuit. This versatile little number works both as a simple one-piece by day, but also a sophisticated option for a night out in town. Versatility, and re-using outfits for both day and night, is rule 101 of travel dressing, so the jumpsuit should be an essential go to for every wardrobe.
Long lightweight coats
A basic long lightweight coat is arguably a staple in every girl’s wardrobe. It can be worn with your favourite pair of jeans and T-shirt, your most-loved night dress, your classy jumpsuit, and so much more. A long coat is a timeless and versatile piece of outerwear, and a smart choice to help keep you warm on windy nights out.
Sun hat
Who doesn’t love to complement their summer look with a sleek hat. We’re talking fedoras, felts, panamas, wide-brimmed numbers and so much more. Hats instantly add sophistication and a touch of cool to your outfit, and are a sure fire way to transform your look from blasé to ’oh hai hai’.
Crossbody bags
Sling on a handy crossbody bag before your travel adventure and let the good times roll. Combining the design of a handbag with the utility of a fanny pack, the crossbody is the king of practicality. We’re digging pastel shades of pink and teal this summer, but if you’re a fan of keeping it classic, black never fails.
