We love going to the beach for the fresh ocean air, the feeling of sand between your toes, and the endless rays of sun to bask in. The minimal packing required also doesn’t hurt. When the weather is consistently beautiful, packing light for a resort vacation without sacrificing style is very achievable.
Yes, YOU can pack for a resort vacation in a carry-on bag, easy! Packing versatile shoes that can be mixed and matched is key to maximizing your resort looks. Let’s talk about some of our favorite styles, packing hacks to maximize suitcase space for a resort vacation, and how to choose comfortable yet stylish footwear for long vacation days.
Ways to Maximize Your Resort Wardrobe
We suggest bringing staple pieces you feel comfortable in as the basis of your resort wardrobe–a comfy pair of jeans, slacks or shorts, a few tops, a dress or two, and a sweater for nighttime beach strolls.
A good mix of shirt and bottom options allows you to create multiple outfits from just one staple wardrobe. Make a would-be boring outfit your own by adding a hat, scarf, jewelry, or a fun pair of kicks.
Other things to consider for your beachwear packing checklist:
• A few plastic baggies for sandy swimwear or shoes
• Lots of sunscreen (pack in said baggies in case of leakage)
• Use a big beach bag as your second carry on
• Pack undergarments or swimsuits rolled up in a floppy beach hat to save space and protect your face at the beach
