16 Pieces That Definitely Make My Summer Vacation Packing List
Sponsor Content Created With PAIGE
I've been planning my first vacation of the summer with so much enthusiasm you would think I was going on my honeymoon. It may only be a two-night stay in Miami with some girlfriends, but the thought of spending 48 straight hours in the sun is enough for me to start daydreaming about the warm-weather wardrobe I'll pack for my trip. These 15 casual-cool pieces from PAIGE, including breezy tops and the perfect white button-up denim shorts, most definitely make the cut. See for yourself…
I always pack at least one day-to-night dress for any summer vacay. I'll likely wear this one with clean white sneakers for an afternoon spent exploring and chunky sandals for dinner.
This burnt-orange tank is the perfect top to wear for a night out (with the addition of some seashell-inspired jewelry, of course).
As previously mentioned, these white shorts are the perfect pair for summer thanks to their crop top–friendly high-rise.
These leather slides are chic enough for me to get away with wearing them to the office after my vacation is over.
I love the subtle dot print on this white top, which I'm pretty sure will look even better once my post-beach glow sets in.
I'm a fan of a super-light-wash denim jacket for summer, ideally worn over a flowy minidress.
A vacation-ready graphic tee I can most definitely get behind.
These may look suspiciously like the other white jeans you own—until you realize the zippers and scrunched-up bottoms make them way cooler.
Prints reminiscent of your grandmother's wallpaper are everywhere lately. I'm dipping my toes in with this easy-to-wear top that screams "Hey, I'm on vacation!" when worn with white jeans and flat sandals.
But hopefully I'll make my way up to pairing that top with these super-cool matching pants for a full-on look.
All this tassel top needs is a pair of denim shorts and a really large straw hat that accurately implies I do not want to be disturbed.
Catch me wearing these cuffed denim shorts over my bikini by the pool (preferably while sipping a piña colada).
I have more white tops in my closet than I can count, but that won't stop me from adding this tied-sleeve one to the mix.
Just add a graphic tee for an unexpected casual look that's just a little more fun than your everyday denim outfit.
These suede mules instantly elevate a daytime look for night.
The casual vibe of these cropped flare jeans makes them ideal for a vacation.
