Lilly’s Labor Day Fashion Guide

This year, we’re getting inspired for Labor Day attire with a little help from brand friend Venita Aspen and one of our favorite cities: Charleston! So, we put together our formula for a vibrant packing list that will take you from cobblestone streets to coastal retreats. Here are the six stylish “somethings” you’ll find in our getaway suitcase.

Something Versatile & Sporty: Whether you’re starting the day with a stroll for morning coffee or hitting the pickleball court for some friendly competition, comfy and colorful activewear is a vacation essential. We’ll be packing the Fresh Squeeze Active Dress, Chiara Hoodie Pullover, and Silvie Jogger. (A printed lounge set also doubles as the perfect travel day look!). For even more versatility, explore our range of activewear dresses that deliver comfort, coverage, and playful Lilly prints from morning workouts to casual afternoons.

Something Bright & Splashy: Soak up every moment of endless summer sunshine poolside or at the beach in a stylish swim look. We’ll be packing the Steviekate One-Piece Swimsuit and flowy Enzo Cotton Cover-Up Pant, plus the Wintour Cane Tote to hold our latest beach read, sunscreen, and water bottle.

Something Breezy & White: We’re firmly in the “Go ahead and wear white after Labor Day!” camp, but endless summer is the perfect time of year to embrace this clean and classic neutral. We’ll be packing eyelet and embroidery pieces with lots of texture, like the Singrid Top, Croix Eyelet Short, Trixie Top, and Richie Shift.

Something Easy & Elevated: Go from sightseeing and shopping to dinner al fresco in effortless style with a dress that does it all. We’ll be packing pieces in versatile silhouettes that can be dressed up or down, like the Angie Dress, Kaden UPF 50+ Maxi, Clare Romper, and Hayleigh Midi Dress. (These dresses are also a fab foundation for summer to fall transition outfits after vacation.)

Something Small & Chic: When you have limited wardrobe space for beach vacation outfits, accessories can do a lot of heavy lifting. We’ll be packing an assortment of elevated, neutral pieces that can tie any look together: the Chevs Kiss Doorknocker Earrings and Bracelet, Delilah Logo Sandal, Mari Mini Bag, Paley Espadrille, and Shade Seeker Hat.

Something Memorable: Wish vacation could last forever? Keep the vibe going with pieces from our Destination Collection—like the airy Sea View Linen Top, the effortless Kristen Swing Dress, and the Getaway Packable Tote for your beach read, SPF, and more.

Let’s squeeze all the sunshine out of summer’s final long weekend! xx, Lilly
