Slay Summer with These Travel-Inspired Looks

July 18, 2023

Want to fashionably slay in the lap of style this summer? Here are five vacation looks and the celebrities who inspired these tailor-made ensembles perfect for the streets and beaches of the most popular destinations. To help jumpstart our guide, we took a few clues from Hollywood’s biggest names and their chosen summer spots to pull together looks for your own travels.

South of France

Hailey Bieber escaped to France with their husband, Justin Bieber, at the end of May. She shared photos of their adventures on her Instagram, including swimming in the ocean, lounging on a yacht, and wine tasting. Her look was France-appropriate; think stripes, white denim, and many cute hair accessories for the win. The success of this look definitely rests on its versatility. A trip to France will likely offer plenty of opportunities to visit museums, dine in amazing venues and get lost while discovering the charms of French towns and villages. Our lineup works for all of these options.

Inspired by the iconic sailor style, this striped rib knit crop top is as easy as it is chic (and a key piece in pretty much any wardrobe). Perfect to match with any high waited bottom, be sure to pack this multi-taker.

Greece

Victoria’s Secret model Izabel Goulart has returned to Mykonos with her German soccer player fiancé Kevin Trapp, to the very spot he popped the question to his long-term partner. Throughout her visit, Izabel’s wardrobe was decidedly beachy, with plenty of bathing suits, caftans and flat shoes that maximized her Aegean style looks. You can bet any Greece wardrobe will be packed with beachy and lounge-ready gear. Whether you plan on spending your day on the beach or on a boat, you should bring plenty of shinny and flowing options.

Italy

Shay Mitchell brought her daughter to the Italian shores and killed it with her looks that made the actress look like an Italian movie siren. Think body-hugging printed dresses with feminine details, espadrilles, bold hats, and gold jewelry. Sightseeing in Italy, a must on your Italian itinerary, is raised to another sartorial level, thanks to so many cinematic references that defined the “dolce far niente.” Be sure to pack plenty of “va-va-voom” items in your luggage.

Portugal

It appears Nicole Kidman just bought a property in Parque das Nações in Lisbon, after several vacations there that have bewitched the actress. We’d like to think that her Portuguese vacation wardrobe is chock full of floral pieces designed to move and flow for a style that matches Portugal’s reputation for easy, breezy, beautiful. If your trip includes a visit to nearby vineyards, there is no better way to enjoy Portuguese bounty then when wearing light and feminine options.

The actress has the magic touch when it comes to mixing ethnic, embroidered and linen-centric styles that may as well have originated in this Balearic hub of cool.

Your Spanish wardrobe is a layered affair that can take you from lunch at Six Senses and sunset drinks at Café del Mar.
