Although the weather in NYC has actually been pretty nice this week, it’s still cold enough to make us dream of hopping on a plane and flying somewhere sunny and warm. If you’re lucky enough to jet off to a tropical locale this season, we’re jealous but still willing to help you out with your wardrobe. In our opinion, the two most important things to think about when packing for a tropical (winter) vacation are the following:
1. Which pieces are most versatile? If you’re trying to pack light, it’s important for you to bring items that you can wear in many different ways (so that you don’t look like you’ve worn the same outfit the entire trip). The easiest (and most space-effective) way to change up an outfit is with awesome, eye-catching accessories. A wide belt or a chunky statement necklace will transform any piece of clothing into something special and different. Accessories are also a good way to transition an outfit from day to night. Crushable straw hats, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and scarves are all easy things to pack, so there’s no excuse for scrimping on these pieces!
2. Which pieces will protect me from the sun? Although it can be nice to hang out on the beach all day and soak up some rays, protecting your eyes and skin are always of the utmost importance. Be sure to bring a few pairs of sunglasses, at least one oversize, floppy straw hat, and a swimsuit cover-up (or chic, cotton wrap dress). When you’re heading down to the beach, grab your favorite large tote to stow all of your essentials (don’t forget to include sunscreen and a bottle of water!).
