Tropical Winter Holiday - what to pack ?

If you are one of the fortunate few who have managed to book a tropical vacation for this winter, then good for you! You can finally have a fashion break from those bulky blazers, chunky coats and woolen warmers.

Although you might have managed to escape to the tropics, you should never leave your sense of fashion behind. Get the resort chic look by taking these must-have pieces to your fashion destination.

FORM-FITTING SWIMSUIT

What’s a tropical vacation without some fun under the sun? Make sure to bring the best swimsuit that complements your figure and body shape.

COVER UP

If you want to look resort chic, then make sure to bring a unique cover up. This will keep you stylish and clothed in between your swimming sessions.

MAXI DRESS

The maxi dress is one of the most convertible pieces for a resort chic look. You can wear it at daytime as you stroll along the beach, and you can wear it at nighttime for a romantic dinner or after-party drinks.

MINI DRESS

If maxi dresses are too long or conservative for you, then make it a point to show your legs in a cute mini dress. Like the maxi dress, you can take this apparel from day to night.

AN ARSENAL OF COLORFUL TOPS

If you are planning on a long vacation, then make sure to bring an array of colorful, light fabric tops. Bright, pastel-colored or tie-dyed ones are perfect for beach frolicking, while a chambray button-down is important for dressier events.

SHORTS

Achieve a resort chic look without going over the baggage limit by bringing light and colorful shorts. Heavy denim shorts should be at the bottom of your list, especially if you don’t have check-in baggage.

BRIGHT OR PRINTED PANTS

Maintain your sunny disposition at formal events by pairing your cute dressy top with light and bright (or printed) pants.

SANDALS

Sashay the beach in style with easy-to-wear sandals. For the added height, choose comfy platform sandals.

SCARF

A versatile piece of resort chic wear, a scarf can shield you from the scorching sun. It can also work as a cover up, as well as a statement accessory.
