You Book the Flight, and I’ll Pack Your Bags—20 Vacay Items You Need This Summer

Not to brag, but I’ve become quite the expert packer. My friends and family would argue that I severely under-pack, but I need you to trust my process for a minute. There’s nothing more annoying than lugging around a heavy suitcase on a summer vacation, so being strategic about its contents is key. I always go for versatile, easy-to-throw-on dresses, neutral footwear, and beauty products that add major glow and take up minimal space. Being able to mix and match accessories is a nonnegotiable for me, so items like the woven tote and Ray-Ban sunglasses below are the move. Prepping for your summer travels really is as easy as shopping the following 20 items from Macy’s—it’s the perfect one-stop shop for everything on your packing list. So save yourself the stress, and keep scrolling to shop my go-to items for any trip you have planned this season.

I love a summer dress that operates as both a cover-up and a dinner look. 

The ideal carry-all beach bag. 

Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward wire-framed sunnies like these.

I love that this hat won’t change shape after being smashed in my suitcase. 

Consider this dress your summer uniform. 

Fashion people’s favorite summer sandal. 

This 2-in-1 foundation and SPF is my holy-grail product for maximum coverage. 

I’m obsessed with this cutout and one-shoulder detail. 

A classic straw bag in an on-trend shape? Yes, please. 

Under-$200 designer sunglasses for the win. 

PSA: You still need face sunscreen even if your makeup has SPF in it. I suggest this one.

Throw these on with literally anything. 

This blouse is begging to be worn in Greece.

I’d wear this with everything from a pair of kitten heels to sporty sneakers. 

The only denim cut-offs to prioritize. 

A stick formula for the easiest SPF reapplication. 

The prettiest floral print. 

I couldn’t leave you without the matching bottoms. 

The glow is real with this lip product. 

Now that’s a chic cover-up.
