the top essentials you need for your tropical vacation
Let me guess, you are already sick of the cold and dreary winter weather aren’t you? Well, I think this calls for a tropical vacation! It is time for you to relax, soak up the sun, and get your tan on!
Believe me, we know packing for vacations can be tough, especially if you want to pack light! So let us show you the top essentials you will need for your next tropical vacation!
A BEIS LUGGAGE SET
large luggage | carry-on luggage | weekender bag
If you do not have some luggage pieces from Beis, you are missing out! All of these pieces are thoughtfully designed in order to make packing the most efficient for you. And of course — they look amazing! Wether you get one piece, or the whole set, it will 100% be worth the money! It’s time to travel in style!
A CUTE BUT COMFY AIRPORT OUTFIT
A cute and cozy airport outfit is ALWAYS an essential. The beauty about this jumpsuit/zip-up combo is that you will be nice and toasty on the plane, and then one you land you can take the zip up off and start soaking up the sun!
Quick packing tip — always wear your most heaviest shoe on the plane!! In this case, the perfect shoe to wear on the plane would be a sneaker!
SWIMSUITS
orange one piece | white bikini | black bikini | striped one piece
Now, if you are going somewhere tropical, swimsuits are always an obvious pack! I can promise you that you do not need 10 different swimsuits for the 5 days you will be away. At most, you will need 4 swimsuits — one black, one white and then two fun ones! In reality, you will probably only get use out of your two favourites that you pack (guilty), but 4 swimsuits are the perfect amount!
SHORTS
denim shorts | effortless shorts | linen shorts
Remember, we are not going to overpack! I can promise all you will need are three shorts. A denim pair, the effortless shorts and pull on linen shorts. The denim shorts are perfect for everyday wear and can literally be worn with anything! The effortless shorts from Aritzia are the bottoms you can wear out to dinner to dress up your look! And of course, the linen shorts are much needed in the heat. They also are super easy to wear over your swimsuit!
A WHITE POPLIN SHIRT
Everyone definitely has on of these in their closets! They are so versatile and can either be worn with shorts or as a beach cover up! This item is 100% a MUST pack!
A CLASSIC WHITE TANK
This one is self explanatory. A white tank is plain and simple — which is the beauty of it! It can literally be worn with anything, and will always be a closet staple.
A BEACH BAG
Don’t forget your beach bag! Usually the resorts will have some sort of beach bag you can use while you are there, but this Anine Bing beach bag is too gorgeous not to bring with you. It will fit everything you need in here from your hat, sunscreen, sunnies, towel and a good book to read by the water.
A LINEN BLAZER
Now although we are traveling somewhere hot and sunny, it can easily get a little cooler at night on these tropical vacations. Which is why a linen blazer is the go-to topper to pack. It is not too heavy, but will still add that little bit of warmth you might need at night.
THE MUST HAVE SKIMS DRESS
Amanda just bought this dress for her trip to Florida this holiday break and we are all OBSESSED! It is so simple, but so classy! The material and shape of the dress hugs you in all the right places and will have you feeling and looking fabulous on your vacation.
SUMMER SHOES
white heels | brown sandals | sneakers
Again, we are not over packing!! All you need are 3 shoes — yes, thats it! First up is a white heeled sandal. This will go with all of your dinner outfits, plus the white will really highlight the tan you would have gotten from being out in the sun! Next, we have a classic flat sandal. These can be worn to walk around the resort, to the beach or just chillin by the pool! And then of course, we have a good old trusty sneaker. Remember we are wearing these on the plane! They are also good to bring in case you are doing any excretions or any adventure-involved activity.
FUN ACCESSORIES
bucket hat | earrings | sunglasses | sunscreen
Lastly, don’t forget the accessories! A cute and trendy bucket hat will do the trick to keep the sun off of your face while you lay in the sun. The sunnies and sunscreen are self explanatory, as you need these two accessories on you at all times — trust me. And to top it all off, bring your favourite pair of gold hoops and you are all packed for your tropical vacation getaway!
