Summer vacation. Just the word makes you happy, right? The smell of sunscreen, the sound of flip-flops on a boardwalk, and the eternal search for the perfect ice cream. But wait—what do you wear while you're having all those summer adventures?
Whether you’re strolling through a Mediterranean town, floating on an airbed in turquoise waters, or watching the sun set with a cocktail in hand—you want to look your sunniest. So here are 5 summer outfits that will have you vacation-ready from sunrise to balmy evening.
👗 1. The 'I'm-here-for-the-sun' dress
