Spring Break Packing Guide: 10 Essentials for a Stylish Getaway

1. An Easy Everyday Dress: Casual, colorful dresses are a spring break style staple for sightseeing, shopping, or grabbing lunch. We love the swingy eyelet skirt of the Lissette Midi Dress for an elevated take on daytime dressing. Printed Pima cotton jersey pieces like the Riegan Dress and Carey Dress are also tried-and-true favorites for laidback style.

2. A Dress for Dinner Al Fresco: Our favorite spring break dress trend of the year is the pairing of heritage silhouettes with eye-catching textures. Pack the Leyla Shift in retro-cool crochet or the Jouri Dress in vibrant floral lace for cocktails on the patio or dinner under the stars. (Don’t forget your gold jewelry, too!)

3. A Mix-and-Match Set: Another trend we’re loving right now? Spring break sets! Rock print head-to-toe in the Anya Top and Bal Harbour Stretch Palazzo or lean into crisp white with the Koski Top and Alameda High Rise Short. These coordinating separates can also be worn with your favorite shorts or denim for extra outfitting options.

4. A Swimsuit (or Two): No vacation style guide would be complete without a moment for swimwear. Opt for splashy florals with the plunging Ester One-Piece or choose classic seersucker with the Aemma One-Piece or Katara Top and Betie Bottom. Whichever style suits your fancy, top it off with our Shade Seeker Hat.

5. A Chic Cover-Up: Transform your swimsuit into a full-blown outfit with an elevated cover-up. Last year’s best-selling Anali is back for another spring break season, featuring the same effortless, pull-on silhouette you love in a fresh print. The new Kohala Skirt Cover-Up is a short and sweet option for adding a bit of extra coverage to your one-piece or bikini.

6. A Breezy Linen Look: Our spring linen lineup just dropped and it’s filled with luxurious, light-as-air styles that will get softer with every wash and wear. We adore the packable ease of dresses like the Abralynn and Mialeigh. The beloved Sea View Button Down and Captina Short are also perfect for looking breezy and put-together wherever the day takes you.

7. A Sporty Runaround Outfit: If tennis, golf, or morning beach walks are on your itinerary, add some activewear aces to your packing list. The Lunan Active Dress, Marilla Skort, and Barbados Jacket bring color to the court in our vintage Viney Liney Print; we suggest packing them alongside the Nadeera Tank and Giorgie Bubble Skirt in Resort White for lots of outfitting options. Complete the look with our Logo Run Around Hat (in pink, of course).

8. A Travel Day Lounge Look: Get into vacation mode early with comfy spring break clothes to wear before you land. An all-pink lounge look is the ultimate airport ensemble; pair our Elemis Popover with the coordinating Dylana Bow Track Pant or Galvin Short. An on-the-go dress like the Eleni or Mirima is another great pick, because you can also wear it once you reach your destination.

9. A Versatile Shoe: Okay, we know you won’t pack just one pair of shoes, but if you were going to, it would be the Leena Sandal. Sleek and minimalist, these flat sandals are easy to slip on poolside or dress up for dinner. Our new Lilly Sneaker is another must-have to wear with your travel outfit, runaround looks, and activewear. 

10. A Resort Ready Bag: Your bags are almost packed—but don’t forget that the bag makes the outfit. For resort dressing, we love the neutral hues and rich textures of cane or wicker styles like the Leena Top Handle Bag, Liza Cane Top Handle Bag, and Liza Cane Clutch.

If there’s still room in your carry-on…

Add a layering piece, like our lightweight Seaspray Linen Jacket or glam gold Logo Jacquard Wrap. 

That’s our boarding call—we’ll see you on the beach! xx, Lilly
