Wondering what to pack for a beach vacation this winter?
I know I’m not the only one craving sun and sand at this time of year. And after the holiday hibernation, I’m feeling ready to dress to impress again. It’s time to hit the beach, relax, and soak in a little Vitamin D.
Here’s what to pack for your warm-weather getaway:
Swimsuits and Cover-Ups
What’s a beach vacation without the perfect swimsuit?
Expect to see a lot of metallics in early 2024, with styles that echo the Hollywood golden age. This bikini from Oséree (one of my favorite designers for beachwear) is the perfect way to lean into the glam trend.
Some of my other favorite swimwear brands are Saint Laurent, Hunza G, and Johanna Ortiz.
Sandals of All Heights
Sandals are the go-to shoe for any warm-weather vacation. On the runways this season, we’ve seen everything from classic fisherman style to metallic mules.
Bring a pair of comfortable flats to wear on the beach, then break out the heels for dinnertime. Trendy sandals are a great way to elevate your look in the evening (just make sure you opt for wedges or a chunkier heel, so you don’t end up sinking in the sand!).
I love this pair of platform mules from Gianvito Rossi or this dreamy sunset-colored pair from Chanel.
Breezy Evening Glam
Vacations are all about relaxation, but that doesn’t mean you can dress it up a little!
This tropical green gown from Magel Coronel is elegant without being over the top—perfect for dinner on the resort or an evening in town.
Or if you’re looking for a real showstopper…try this metallic gold feather dress from Johanna Ortiz, paired with a gold bag and shoes from Chanel.
Choosing what to pack for a beach vacation is half the fun of going away! If you want to be on trend for your winter getaway, throw in a few pairs of sandals and plenty of gold glam.
