Going On Vacation? We’ve Got Some Outfit Inspiration Courtesy Of Instagram’s Finest

If you're the kind of person that's had your spring break trip booked (woohoo!) and itinerary all worked out months in advance, go you! You're ahead of the game, and we tip our hats to your preparedness. We wouldn't be surprised if you've picked up some of the local lingo to get ready for your adventure too. But even the most organized traveler can have their progress stalled when it's time to pack, and if you find yourself staring into the depths of your travel bag, totally unsure of what to put in it, don't worry. We've got some vacation-ready outfit ideas to keep you on track.

Of course, every packing list starts with the basics like a trusty black one-piece swimsuit and the best cover-up to take you straight from the beach to the bar. So if these are the bricks making up the foundation of your vacation attire, what bonus items should you consider when piecing together the ideal selection of fun accessories, statement sandals, and sexy slip dresses? To answer this question, we've turned to Instagram as a guide, where trends don't just begin — they take-off faster than your upcoming flight. From bright, bold prints to some cheap and cheerful jewelry, we've compiled a list of cool inspiration to shop and pack to guarantee a chic trip.

Pearls On The Beach

Thanks in part to Harry Styles, pearl necklaces are everywhere right now... and not just the kind that come from grandma's cherished jewelry collection. They come in all shapes and colors, with the pearl choker becoming a particular fave among the fashion set. Gone are the days where this style was reserved for the opera — feel free to rock yours all the way to the seaside (but consider opting for a cheaper take on the trend in case of contact with sand and sunscreen!).

White-On-White Done Right

It's no surprise that lightweight whites are popular in warmer climates, especially if you've got a bit of a natural glow going on. Go all out with a monochrome linen look, and opt for a straw bag that really pops when held up against your sleek but simple ensemble.

The Cool-Girl Cover Up

In addition to your classic sarong, consider a new category of cover-up to take your beach-going ensembles up a notch. We love a good oversized silhouette on any occasion, especially in the form of a lightweight button-down shirt that's perfect for the pool.

The Slip And Sneaker Combo

You can't go wrong with the slinky goodness of a figure-hugging slip dress (and the fact that it takes up virtually no space in your suitcase is a major bonus), but use this change in environment as an opportunity to shake things up a bit with an edgier print paired with casual, high-top kicks.

Stylish Sun Protection

Even though you've lathered on the SPF, it never hurts to pile on some extra protection from the sun in the form of a wide-brimmed hat. Plus, it'll provide you with some serious like bait for the inevitable Instagram shots you'll be posting to commemorate your trip.

All The Accessories... And Then Some

Why settle on bringing a single pair of sunglasses when you can bring them all? Go ahead and take your top picks and top off the look with a trendy bucket hat (wearing them all at once is optional but highly recommended). There's no limit to the fun you can have when it comes to accessorizing on the go.
