Optimism is in the air right now, and all I can think about is planning a fun vacation. While I have yet to book it, I’m doing my best to manifest one into my future, along with all of the cool vacation fashion items to wear. Last summer, my wardrobe mostly revolved around bike shorts and comfy slippers, so I’m very ready to introduce some more directional pieces into the mix. From the season’s biggest swimsuit trends to bold, saturated shades, there are already so many fun trends I’m thinking about that will be landing in my suitcase first.
Ahead, I’m sharing an inside peek at my exact dream vacation shopping list, with a range of everything from affordable finds to the investment buys that are topping my list. If you’re also thinking about booking a future trip and already imagining all of the cool vacation fashion items you’ll be wearing, I’d recommend scrolling through. I know you’ll find some pieces to add to your cart.
