So You're Going on Spring Break—8 Outfits That You'll Reminisce on for Life

Whether you're attending spring break as an actual student or like every other adult who needs a getaway in the winter, you've come to the right place. Spring break is a treat that every human deserves on an annual basis so I beg you to indulge yourself in many Instagram-worthy moments and outfits to match the vibe.

For me, vacation is the opportunity to be the most glamorous version of myself. I save my most exciting outfits for my next trip and the people who travel with me feel like they have the front-row seat to a runway show. So buckle up your seatbelts because the outfit suggestions I have for you are good.

All I can think about right now is what I'll wear during my trip to Miami, in prime Spring Break season, next month. But I can assure you that if it's anything like the below eight looks, it will be good.

It only takes one accessory to make last year's bikini collection feel now. An oversize woven hat will be your best purchase of the year.

Another way to make swim feel fun is a nice coverup and I can't get over this sheer and sparkly option that I found while scrolling the web. If this isn't giving 2023, I don't know what is.

When it comes to getting ready for dinner after a long day spent at the beach, a slip dress is key. Just throw it on and head out the door. Wearing red gives off vacation energy.

Feathers are a huge social media trend in 2023 and they're absolutely eye-catching. The last time I was in Miami, I got a million compliments when I wore my feather dress, so I highly recommend it.

Associate Editor

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
