You don’t have to be in college to love Spring Break. Sure, MTV popularized this spring vacation by showing 20-somethings letting loose on the beaches and Jersey Shore practically made their daily GTL routine a household mantra. (Many of us, meanwhile, haven’t picked up a red Solo cup in years.) We often look forward to the spring, however, as a time to relax, unwind, and take a mini vacation to escape the dreariness of winter.
Whether you are exploring a new destination, vacationing with friends, or taking a family trip, or just staying home, these outfit ideas are perfect for anyone who is looking for a bit of style inspiration to pack in their suitcase. Staying home this spring? These easy outfits can affordably refresh your wardrobe for spring and summer!

When you think about spring break, do you think about exploring tropical destinations? Perhaps strolling through the narrow streets of a small town? There’s something effortless about a lightweight white dress and sandals—both are neutral pairings that you can use all summer long. In fact, a great pair of slide sandals can become an oft-worn wardrobe staple for months (and years) to come. For a pop of color, try a bright, bold, or patterned headband. And, of course, for a truly spring feel—a flower bag!
If You Want To Go From The Beach To Lunch

Tote
Another warm weather staple, we love how chic a linen set feels. Instead of your usual swimsuit coverup, this classic look feels elevated and looks right at home whether you are at lunch or just leaving the beach. And, not only is linen an incredibly breathable fabric for the hot upcoming months, but each piece can be worn separately for a variety of looks, even if you haven’t curated a capsule wardrobe just yet. When it comes to packing light, matching sets like this are always a go-to for us!
If You Love An Afternoon Of Shopping
Another example of classic charm, this outfit uses more wardrobe staples to make an upscale outfit for an afternoon of strolling, shopping, or sightseeing. A large tote gives you plenty of space to store any travel necessities, but can also double as a shopping bag if you need it. Like the matching set, these linen capris are lightweight and breathable, while a flowy tank lets you show a little skin. If you need an additional layer, a long cardigan or denim jacket can easily be paired with this outfit.
If You Want To Pack Your Favorite White Shirt

If you’re headed somewhere that you know you’ll be spending some time in a swimsuit, might we suggest yet another way to create multiple outfits from your favorite bikini? One of the most essential items to our year round capsule wardrobe, a white button down shirt can be used as a simple layer to cover your shoulders from the sun or when you’re ready to head out for the day. While we love a bandeau top, you can easily mix-and-match any of your favorite one-piece or two-piece swimwear favorites for a bodysuit look and feel. Just top it off with your favorite accessories, and you’re ready to go!
If You’re Staying At A Resort
Shop:
Scarf |
Pants |
Bag |
Sunglasses |
Heels
This look screams resort! With the temperatures rising, now is the time to pull out a pair of crisp white jeans. They create the perfect canvas to style a variety of tops, but we think that they are also the ideal backdrop for a bold or patterned top. Simple accessories, such as a black mini bag and heels, give the look a dressy feel that is perfect for dinner at your favorite restaurant. (If you want to cover your shoulders, a blazer could be a stylish option, too!)
If You Want A Classic Pairing That Is Effortlessly Chic
Shop:
Tank |
Shorts |
Sandals |
Crossbody Bag |
Sunglasses
While the “old money aesthetic” might be trending this year, a classic pairing like this will never go out of style. The look is casual, yet refined, and can be just the right amount of preppy depending on your personal style. Leather accessories continue to amplify the feeling of quiet luxury and the combination of black and brown tones will always be a favorite of ours. Top it off with a pair of oversized sunglasses and you’re ready to spend a spring afternoon.

For those who are wondering where all of the bright and colorful outfit combinations are on this list, this one is for you. Another way to play with color is with a matching set. This monochromatic outfit makes for a sleek look that isn’t overpowering so that you can easily accessorize with bolder statement accessories, such as a rainbow bag (or your favorite earrings).
If You Want A Different Way To Style A Coverup
A touch bohemian, this coverup looks uses a familiar sarong, but in a bolder, brighter pattern. However, instead of simply using a tank as the top, we chose a fitted vest for an unexpected twist on a classic vacation look. And, with the warmer weather quickly approaching, it’s time to pull out a summer footwear staple—the wedge heels! Wedges make a great vacation footwear choice because they are easier to walk in than heels, but can still be exactly what you need to dress up an outfit for dinner.
If You’re Spending A Vacation Abroad
If your travel destination isn’t the beach, but perhaps a European adventure, this simple ensemble will be right at home. For us, spring and summer looks have always been about easy, breezy layers that can be removed as the day gets warmer, yet perfect as you head into the cooler evening. Building an outfit of light colors will help to keep you cool if you’re busy outdoors, and simple accessories don’t take away from the casually chic aesthetic.
If You Love Wearing The Basics
Last, but not least, we have one of our favorite outfits (even if it’s arguably one of the simplest). It combines everyday basics—such as a white tee and sneakers—but gives it a little extra flair by pairing these staples with a denim mini skirt. Top it off with your favorite gold accessories for a look that is put together, yet casual enough for any activity that you plan for the day.
