The effortless set

Wherever you’re headed, a breezy matching set is a must. The beauty of a co-ord lies in its versatility: each piece can either be worn together or separately, doubling your outfit options and freeing up space in your suitcase for any keepsakes or local treasures you might want to bring home from your trip. Trimmed with ruffles, Isabel Marant’s silk-chiffon blouse and matching mini skirt exude easy elegance and are a romantic choice for barefoot walks by the sea. Meanwhile, Dôen’s lace-trimmed camisole and shorts set will look chic styled with leather slides and a beaded pouch come evening.

Statement swimwear

If there were ever a time for statement swimwear, it’s on a long-weekend getaway, whether you’re headed to a far-flung island or nearby coastal town. By statement, we mean bright colors and bold prints. Toteme’s monogrammed swimsuit is a minimalist’s favorite but still eye-catching, while Pucci’s printed bikini will ensure you end your ‘Pucci Summer’ on a high. Don’t miss the matching shorts and pareo for an easy transition from beach to boardwalk. Alternatively, wear Eres’s fuchsia-pink ‘Intense’ swimsuit as an evening top with Capri pants to make the most of what you can fit into your carry-on.

The getaway dress

Regardless of location or itinerary, a slip-on-and-go maxi is just the ticket for nailing effortless end-of-summer vacation style. Chloé’s tiered dress is cut from broderie anglaise cotton and has charming bow-detailed straps, making it easy to slip on post-swim for a leisurely lunch or golden-hour drinks. Twist your hair into a slicked-back bun, add beaded jewelry and you’re good to go. If you’re drawn to brighter colors, opt for a red shirred style by Matteau or Missoni’s signature zigzag knit. Both dresses are chic paired with little more than thong sandals and a raffia bag.

The ultimate accessories

Perfect for the airport, beach and boat trips, these vacation accessories are non-negotiables. First up, Saint Laurent’s sought-after ‘Icare’ tote is spacious enough to hold a towel, SPF and a water bottle, plus it will also work for your winter-sun escape. The same goes for Celine’s oval-framed ‘Triomphe’ sunglasses, which will complete your outfit with a polished note all year round. Finally, Ancient Greek Sandals’ ‘Saionara Jelly’ pair are the fashion flip flops we can’t stop talking about. Wear them to the beach club now, then pack them again for your December break.
