I curated these vacation outfits because I refuse to melt in silence — if I’m sweating, I’m doing it fashionably.

These looks are all about beating the heat while looking like the walking cover of a luxury travel magazine.

Linen?

Yes. Breezy silhouettes?

Always.

Straw bags and gold jewelry? Non-negotiable.

When I travel, I don’t just pack clothes — I pack vibes. Whether I’m strolling through cobblestone streets in a coastal town or sipping iced coffee somewhere tropical, I want to feel chic, comfortable, and just the right amount of extra.

These outfits do all three.

Styling tips I swear by:

Linen is your BFF — it’s breathable, lightweight, and somehow screams old money on vacation.
Monochrome whites and neutrals are a power move — they reflect the sun and make you look expensive with zero effort.
Gold jewelry + tan skin = chef’s kiss — opt for dainty layered necklaces, chunky bangles, and big hoops to elevate even the simplest fit.
Bralette tops or bandeaus under oversized button-downs give you that “I just threw this on and look perfect” energy.
Straw everything — hat, bag, sandals. It’s giving coastal chic and helps you stay cool while adding texture to your look.
Sunglasses that cover half your face — functional and mysterious. We’re hiding dark circles, not our standards.
Hair tip: salt spray + a loose bun or waves = vacation goddess. Keep it undone and breezy.

How I stay cool while still looking hot:

I live in flowy pieces — wide-leg pants, midi skirts, or anything with movement. No clingy fabrics allowed.
I stick to natural, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and gauze — anything else is just a slow roast.
I always carry a face mist and blotting powder in my straw tote — glowy is cute, sweaty is not.
I plan my outings around golden hour — cooler temps and perfect lighting? It’s a win-win.
And finally, I drink my iced coffee like it’s a fashion accessory — it’s the vibe, always.

If you're planning your next trip or just want to dress like you're on vacation (because why not romanticize your iced coffee run?), these looks are your new summer staples. Let’s get into it.
