Winter Vacation Fashion Essentials

As the snow, freezing rain and chill-to-the-bone wind rolls in…we all start dreaming of warm vacation get-a-ways. Summer is several months away, and if you have decided to book a trip somewhere tropical or warm you will also need to make sure you’re still on trend! The great thing about being on vacation is letting loose. Pulling your hair into a loose braid or letting the salt water from the ocean give your hair natural beach waves is great! You can still get that effortless feel with your style without looking like a beach bum of the worst sort.

There are a couple of key items that will help you look your best on vacation without actually putting a lot of thought or effort into it.

Take a look at our key pieces to take on your vacation to keep your fashionista status on point while you’re away.

1. Get a smokin’ bikini that will turn heads and make you look great. The ‘IT’ brand of bikinis right now goes to Triangl. Their scuba suit-like material bikinis and the cuts look great on everyone. In particular, the Milly-New York Noir is a great suit! It has support and the leather-look makes it stand out.

2. A beach bag that you don’t use for the gym. Find a casual bag that you can carry around and fit any essentials in. The Inca Beach Bag from Pitusa is so cool! The colour is bright and fun, and it’s a bag that’s easy to carry for a beach day or out shopping.

3. Something comfortable that looks stylish. A wrap skirt is great for going anywhere when you are on vacation. You can wear your bathing suit underneath while going for dinner, lunch, walking to the pool or the beach, and they are super comfortable and easy to wear. It’s an absolute staple.

4. A transition piece. A tunic dress is the answer for everything when you are vacationing someplace hot. We love this Tory Burch white tunic dress because it is perfect for pulling on over bikinis and walking around in public without feeling like you’re naked. You can also transition it into evening wear as well by pairing it with shorts and cinching it at the waist.

5. Anything but cheap flip flops. There is no fashion sin greater than wearing cheap flip flops. They are not even acceptable when you are on vacation. Get a pair of sandals that are trendy and easy to slip on. Stay away from buckles you have to fuss with. These Kate Spade sandals are in style, and the copper colour will look great with a tan.

6. Sexy Sunglasses. Always a crowd pleaser, Aviators will never let you down. The most flattering pair of sunnies for anyone – these shades are perfect for your vacation. The orange flash lenses remind us of a tropical sunset.

You don’t need to buy a whole new vacation wardrobe, just a couple pieces that you can mix and match when you’re not laying out by the pool or on the beach. These will keep you comfortable and feeling your best.
