Half the fun of going on vacation is shopping for it. Whenever I buy a new dress or accessory for a trip, that piece lives on as a tangible memory of the time that was had. I have striped cotton pants that remind me of June in Copenhagen and a beaded shoulder bag that debuted last May in Majorca, Spain. And then there are the Miu Miu sunglasses I traversed all over Madrid to find. Call it consumerism, or call it a love of fashion, but my vacation budget will always include money for shopping. This year, my dream Euro summer suitcase will be filled with outfits from Posse, Faithfull, Staud, Sir, and many more brands that can be found at NET-A-PORTER. The retailer's vacation edit has everything on my packing list: stylish sarongs, sandals, sunnies—the list goes on. I've curated four cute outfits from the edit for you (and me) below.
Outfit #1
Nothing screams summer more than a linen top, micro shorts, a raffia sunhat, and jelly sandals. Forget Europe—I'd wear this outfit all season long, no matter the destination.
Outfit #2
This outfit has a hint of '60s glamour thanks to the headscarf and Miu Miu sunglasses. It feels simultaneously casual and chic, a balanced aesthetic for a summer vacation look.
Outfit #3
This look is all about my favorite color combination: butter yellow, chocolate brown, and a pop of blue. Plus, it incorporates the print of the summer: polka dots. Throw on leather flip-flops, and you're good to go.
Outfit #4
In my everyday life, orange isn't at the top of my color palette, but that's what draws me to it for vacation. This silk dress from Sir screams, "I'm ignoring all my responsibilities and dancing the night away in Ibiza." That's exactly what vacation dressing is all about.
