Since we travel frequently, we’ve worked out how to pack! When you pack effectively, you avoid the unpleasant lugging of your overstuffed bag and ensure that you look your best for any occasion when traveling. The added benefit of not packing those heavy, bulky cold-weather things when traveling in the summer is that you save room and weight, allowing you to pack additional lightweight summer clothing and women’s travel needs if you so want.

From a road trip across Spain to touring Indonesia, lounging by the sea in the summer, and other enjoyable travels, we’ve picked up a few tips regarding what we really wear on a trip and how we wear the pieces we pack. So we thought we’d share our list of summer fashion essentials as well as some packing advice that we’ve found to be useful.

There are unquestionably some summer basics that you should bring along for both practical and fashionable reasons.

Maxi Dresses

A maxi dress is a super simple and convenient way to look stylish while on vacation. During the day, you may dress it down with no makeup, natural hair, and a pair of laid-back sandals. The same dress can then be worn for a night out on the town or to dinner along with a stylish pair of earrings, vivid lipstick, and high heels.

Basic shirts

An all-year-round favorite is plain t-shirts. In the summer, you can wear them tucked into a pair of wide-leg pants or with denim shorts. When you just want to go down to the beach, go out for a coffee or a casual meal without fussing over your appearance but want to look smart and put together, a basic tee comes in handy.

Cardigan

You should always have a way of keeping warm just in case, regardless of the season you are traveling in. So make sure to carry a cardigan you can throw on if the air during your morning beach walk feels chilly or if a restaurant’s air conditioning is running a little too high for your comfort. One cardigan can be worn with any outfit, especially if you adhere to the capsule wardrobe trend and stick to a specific color palette.

Sandals

Both beach sandals and fashionable sandals are essential for your summer excursions. Decide if you need a timeless sandal that will work with everything or a quirky one that will give your clothes that summer touch by using your mix-and-match wardrobe as a guide.

Sneakers

If you dig the great outdoors and some walking through nature is in the plans, make sure to bring a comfy pair of sneakers. Also, if you like running or exercising during your travels.
