Update your vacation wardrobe just in time for summer!
By Vedica Vora
The art of vacation dressing may seem daunting, with the need to capture the perfect, effortless holiday aesthetic. But when you’re thinking of accessories, it really just comes down to a science. Tune your vacation wardrobe to where you’re headed and just ask- who am I going to be this summer? Are you channeling your inner Malibu Barbie with a canvas tote for a beach vacay? Or would you rather spend your Italian summer with a trendy cross-body? You could also go the backpack route by adding a cool-girl spin to the conventional vacation carry-all.
The options are endless, so make sure to tailor them right to your holiday. We’ve put together a list of chic vacation arm candy that has you covered, no matter where you’re headed. These Out of Office staples are of the moment and so much fun!
