Stuck on summer styling? 6 vacation dressing ideas for 2018
We’ve lost count of the hours of prep-time that go in to creating a fashionable summer vacation edit. Searching for the best vacation outfit ideas across blogs and Pinterest months before you’re set to go. Feel our pain? It has happened to the best of us. But did you know that six key pieces can change all that? The chicest summer vacation capsule can be created with just six key styles. What to pack? Here’s seven outfit ideas for summer vacation dressing that couldn’t be more perfect for 2018.
1/ Relaxed shirting
Shirting will never fade far from fashion’s front-and-center point. Away from the runway spotlight that’s rife with overtly trend-driven pieces only fit for special occasions, it’s the relaxed tailoring that promises to be the core component of our summer closets year on year. And there’s no style more key for summer vacation fashion than the relaxed shirt. Chic, fuss-free and undeniably cool, this layer lends itself to so many different types of styling. Vacation style staple number one.
2/ Ankle-grazing dresses
Picture this – you’re taking an evening stroll along the beach after a long sun-soaked day by the sea. What to wear for such a dreamy scenario? A soft, floaty sundress in an equally as soft hue – to really make the most out of that bronzed skin – is the perfect fuss-free silhouette that’s effortlessly feminine too. Want some styling ideas for vacation dinners? Style a billowing Grecian dress with flat strappy sandals, tousled waves and dewy make-up come sundown.
3/ High-rise denim
Whether it’s high summer or fall, high-rise denim will always be a girl’s best friend. It’s cool, versatile and goes with almost anything. That’s why it should take its rightful place in your vacation style edit. Whether you’re a skirt lover or more into love-worn shorts, a one-off investment in your favorite shade of denim is a must for your warm-weather capsule. Style in the day with a simple vest or tee and pair with a lacy camisole and barely-there sandals come evening.
4/ Classic camisoles
We touched upon in styling denim, but the camisole is undeniably the chicest (and most effortlessly polished) piece to have packed in your suitcase this summer. From simple silky silhouettes in classic colors to delicate lacy styles that are imbued with a sultry date-night feel, the strappy camisole promises to uplift any evening outfit and their lustrous appearance will also make the most out of your sun-kissed skin.
5/ Lightweight playsuits
Want a flawless vacation outfit that requires minimal effort? Pretty playsuits are the way to go come day or night. From relaxed rompers to waist-cinching styles that flatter the figure, all an all-in-one style needs is some chic footwear and considered accessories – think simple flat sandals and minimalist jewelry for a day at the beach and up the ante come evening with color-pop wedge sandals, a printed headband and statement earrings to really master vacation style.
6/ Day-to-evening dresses
No matter what kind of vacation you’re on this summer, you’ll need a chic dress that transfers seamlessly from day to evening for those beach days that quickly turn into evening and you don’t have a chance to change before dinner. When investing in this key staple, always work with your figure to define the shape. And when it comes to 2018 trends, this season’s styling ques has us embracing cool retro cuts, playful details and playful prints. Oh, and pack some tasselled earrings and highlighter - you’ll have any turn of events covered in style.
