Make Vibrant Memories: How to Pack for a European Vacation

"My husband and I were invited to a wedding in Italy (how lucky am I?!), and Lilly has the perfect accessories for my Italian adventure. First up: this fabulous Cane Beach Bag with woven straps and a spot to hold a sunhat. I never jet off anywhere without my Lilly straw hat. It’s so versatile, I plan to wear it while lounging on the beach or paired with a chic all-white linen outfit for sightseeing. I’m loving espadrilles this summer - they’re effortlessly chic. I’ll be packing these Paley wedges, which go with virtually anything. Finally, I’ll top the look off with some fun, beachy jewels, and I’ll be ready for anything!" - Kelly, Digital Merchandising 

"If I could pack the whole Summer 2025 line I would! But unfortunately I will be limited to one suitcase when I travel to France & Spain, so these are some of my must haves. 1. Our reserve collection is the perfect bright color palette for a European summer vacation! I will be packing the Jesslyn Silk Top and Vianna Silk Palazzo to throw on in the summer heat for a fun dinner. I’ll also be packing the Tamala Dress for a fun night out! 2. All of our shell jewelry! I love mixing and matching all of our summer jewelry to add an extra summer Lilly kiss to all my outfits! - Gracie, Merchandising 

“I am so excited to island-hop through Greece this summer! We’ll be visiting in the heart of the season, which means we’ll be in or around water as much as possible. I’m packing printed swimsuits made for paradise - starting with the Desmond one-piece (this style is a new favorite) and the Meechi Top with the Ashwin Bottoms - how perfect is this orange color! Since we’re on a mission to visit as many beaches as we can, I’ll be living in my Enzo Pants between dips in the Aegean Sea.” - Leah, Creative Content

"Light layers and good walking shoes are a must! When I was just in Portugal, I constantly found myself reaching for a light sweater or a linen button-down to brace against the wind by the water, during boat rides, or while exploring historic churches. The Sea View Button Down is perfect for this - easy to toss in your bag or drape over your shoulders when not in use. You’ll also be walking way more than you expect, especially in Lisbon with its steep, cobblestone hills! Opt for comfy, versatile shoes like the Lux Hallie Sneaker - they’ll keep you stylish and supported all day long." - Lissandra, E-Commerce 

"One of my absolute must-haves is the Shade Seeker Hat! I originally bought it as a beach essential, but it quickly became my go-to for everything, from café lunches to strolls through historic streets. It pairs with everything, looks effortlessly chic, and keeps my fair skin protected from the sun. It was perfect topside at the Monaco Grand Prix! I also can’t live without styles made from Lilly's incredibly soft Downtime Jersey fabric and the Lanelle Wrap...they’re my perfect travel duo for long European flights. Comfy enough to sleep in, yet polished enough for the lounge. On the men’s side, my boyfriend swears by the new Mizner Pants. He says they’re the most comfortable pair he owns and totally travel-proof. The Addison Shirt was another favorite: stylish and put-together, yet lightweight enough to keep him cool under the Mediterranean sun." - Mary, Design
