Planning a summer getaway to Europe? It’s time to start thinking about what to pack! Whether you’re strolling through the charming streets of Paris, exploring the vibrant markets of Barcelona, or lounging on the picturesque beaches of the Amalfi Coast, this guide will help you curate a stunning wardrobe to get you summer vacation ready.
Effortless Dresses
When it comes to summer in Europe, dresses are a must-have. Opt for breezy maxi dresses in vibrant floral prints or classic polka dots for a touch of whimsy. Wrap dresses, with their universally flattering silhouette, are perfect for exploring cities during the day and transitioning into chic evening wear. Consider brands like Tuckernuck, Atlantic-Pacific, or Tela Luxury Mercantile, known for their sophisticated and stylish dress collections.
Yellow Feather Dress from Tela Mercantile. I love brand story! Go take a peek on their site for more elegant + size inclusive caftans.
Artemis Dress in light blue – comes in a red. Wear this to dinner or cocktails!
Smocked waist maxi dress – So breezy and light.
Embrace Vibrant Colors and Prints:
European summers are synonymous with vibrant colors and playful prints. Put some energy into your wardrobe with bold stripes, tropical florals, or gingham checks. Consider incorporating a mix of classic and contemporary prints into your outfits for a visually striking and modern look! I am obsessed with Atlantic-Pacific’s new line at Tuckernuck and LAKE Pajamas, also Farm Rio and Julia Berolzheimer’s line is perfect for a summer vacation in Europe!

Resort wear:
If you’re headed to a beachside destination, make a statement with stylish resort wear. Consider a vibrant caftan or a breezy linen jumpsuit in a bold color.

Swimwear
If your summer vacation includes a trip to the beautiful European coastlines, make sure to pack stylish swimwear. Opt for one-piece swimsuits in bold colors, or mix and match bikini separates for a personalized look. Bring versatile swimwear that can double as a bodysuit paired with linen pants or a wrap sarong with for beach-to-street style.
