As travel restrictions lessen and more people in the U.S are vaccinated, it seems like everyone and their mother on vacation right now. Each time I open up the app, my feed is flooded with idyllic shots of people living their best summer vacation lives from the nightlife of Miami to the beaches of Mexico. More than ever people are hitting more local locations vs. across the world, but aren’t letting that stop them from showing off their excellent vacation wardrobes.
As I said, I’ve been seeing dozens of summer vacation outfits all over the ‘gram, so I’m sharing my favorites among them here.

There’s something that just feels so summery about an airy maxi skirt. Pair with a colorful top and you’ve got a breezy but fire look.
For me, I like when vacation outfits are easy to style. Printed jeans keep the look elevated but all you need to do is pair with minimal accessories and a basic top.
Midi skirts have always been around, but ever since Jacquemus released its version on the spring 2021 runways, the style has completely blown up. Pair with a second-skin top and sandals for the ultimate summer vibe.

My favorite vacation combo is tying a blouse over a dress—it’s the only kind of layering I’ll accept in the summertime.
