Vacation Clothes: Essential Must-Haves

Beach Vacation Dress

No matter where you are in the world, it’s never a bad idea to slip in one beach vacation dress just in case. You never know when you might find yourself by the waterside. The best part about packing beach vacation clothes in your luggage is how little space they take. It leaves you so much room to pack for all the other everyday essentials without sacrificing your luggage space. Usually lightweight and breezy, the simple beach women’s vacation dress will be a must-have on your relaxing beach days. 

Comfortable Shorts

One of our most recommended women vacation wear is a pair of good ol’ comfortable shorts. You’ll likely be spending a lot of your time outdoors, and you want to make sure that you’re prepared for the heat and long walks. A pair of comfortable shorts are essential to pack for vacation clothes as they are versatile, space-friendly, and something you’ll find yourself gravitating to wear nearly every day. 

Floppy Hat 

Whether it’s a floppy hat or just a regular baseball cap, bringing a hat is essential for integrating with your vacation outfit ideas. They provide shade and protect your face from harmful UV rays. Not only will it keep you cool during those hot summer days, but it’ll also keep you looking accessorized and stylish. Besides, a floppy hat would go perfectly with your beach vacation clothes or summer dresses for vacation wear. 

Backpack

A great accessory to your vacation clothes for women is pairing your vacation clothes with a bag. Not only will it help round out your outfit and keep you looking stylish, but it is also extremely practical as if will be able to carry all your daily necessities such as water, money, and snacks. Your vacation wear will not be complete without a cute backpack or fanny pack to store all your goodies. 

Light Sweater

Who says being covered up can’t look cute? With the variety of adorable oversized sweaters and hoodies these days, you’ll look as cute as a button while staying warm and toasty on those colder vacation nights. Having a sweater or an oversized hoodie is essential to have, even if it’s in the middle of summer. There may be unexpected colder days or nights that will have you sick mid-way through your vacation! Better safe than sorry.
