The Summer Wanderer Series, Part 3: Travel-Friendly Beachwear

June 19, 2012

After a brief hiatus, The Summer Wanderer Series is back!  Now that we’ve planned and packed your warm-weather travel wardrobe, it’s time to add in the one thing we’ve forgotten: beachwear!  After all, no summer vacation is complete without some time at the pool or on the sand.  Whether you’re planning to sprint after frisbees, set sail in the sun, or lounge under an umbrella, the looks below will keep you stylish without adding too much bulk to your suitcase.  The key to keeping things light?: re-use street-wear on the beach and beachwear on the street.  And let your accessories and space-savers like canvas totes and turbans sass up your get-up!

Which look is your favorite?  Do you have any suggestions for balancing fashion and function at the shore?  Share your ideas in the comments!

For more advice on packing and travel wardrobes, see Part One and Part Two of the Summer Wanderer Series, in which we strategize on how to pack and dress for summer travel.

    You are so good at making these sets girl. I would like all of them but I think the Carrie is my favorite. That’s such a pretty color.

      I love that one, too! Citron is so pretty in the sun, too, I think. Maybe I should get that one for myself… :)

    I’m planning a trip to the Carribean at the end of this summer and I am SO GLAD I found these posts about packing, travel wardobes, and bathing suits! I’ve been totally unsure of what to take, and these are super helpful and inspiring and make me feel less freaked out. I love your blog and these how to’s and your style on top of it all!

      YAY! I’m so glad these have been helpful. They’re fun to make, but beyond that I was really hoping that they might actually keep people from suffering packing panic. :) Hope your trip is amazing!
