The versatile vacation dress

Regardless of location or itinerary, a slip-on-and-go sundress is just the ticket for nailing effortless summer style. Khaite’s ‘Rommi’ dress is cut from weightless crinkled voile and has a wrap front, making it easy to slip on post-swim for a leisurely lunch or golden-hour drinks. Twist your hair into a low tousled bun, add a delicate necklace and you’re good to go. If you’re drawn to brighter colors, opt for a red dress by Staud or Matteau – both styles are chic paired with little more than thong sandals and a woven tote.

The ultimate summer tote

Perfect for the airport, beach and boat trips, a bag spacious enough to hold a towel, SPF and a water bottle is non-negotiable. Plus, choose the right style and it will serve you well on your commute back in the city, too. Chloé’s tote is patterned with strawberry and cream stripes and looks chic paired with a floppy hat by the coast. Alternatively, keep things classic with styles in black or neutral shades. Hunting Season’s ‘Market’ tote has been handwoven in Colombia from raffia and has long leather straps, so you can wear it over your shoulder, while Liffner’s sisal version is patterned with timeless Riviera-inspired stripes.

Matching sets

The beauty of a co-ord lies in its versatility – each piece can either be worn together or apart, thus 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 and lace, Chloé’s diaphanous silk-charmeuse blouse and the matching balloon pants exude easy elegance and are a romantic choice for barefoot walks by the sea. Meanwhile, Blazé Milano’s woven ‘Danae’ vest and shorts set will look chich styled with ballet flats and a brightly colored clutch.

A wear-anywhere top

A top versatile enough to wear on the plane as well as when you land will not only make light work of packing, but minimize outfit changes, too. An oversized shirt, like this one by Toteme, doubles as a beach coverup and is perfect whether you’re island hopping or exploring local sights. Lido’s striped version in bright-yellow is another versatile choice and looks suitably beachy styled with the matching shorts and thong sandals.

Statement sandals

If there were ever a time for a statement shoe, it’s on a summer getaway, either on a far-flung island or in a buzzy European city – and by statement, we mean heeled sandals in bright colors and playful prints. Manolo Blahnik’s ‘Callamu’ mules, from the brand’s collaboration with Emilia Wickstead, come in shades that are evocative of a picturesque sunset; while Jimmy Choo’s ‘Elsy’ sandals are covered in playful gingham checks. Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw by styling with a clashing floral dress or lingerie-inspired camisole and denim shorts. Alternatively, embrace high-shine metallics with Aquazzura’s ‘Mystic Stone’ pair.
