Pack like a pro and pack for the party. Spring Break has us all fleeing the harsh reality of winter but let’s make sense of your suitcase, packing essentials that can do double duty (we’re looking for MVPs only).

This spirited piece from Alemais goes from day to night and can work in long walks on the beach. A halter mini dress, this piece is an artist collaboration featuring the work of Mokshini. The print is a tropical landscape by the water revealing palm trees, a toucan bird, bananas and a monkey–not to be confused with the adorable Punch we've recently fallen in love with. It’s worth noting that this season’s line has a lot of monkey prints if you’re so inclined. If you love this exact print we carry it in a shorts and shirt set as well. 

From day trip excursions to dinner, a playful romper has that anything-goes mentality that’s key for vacation. This creation from Farm Rio allows you to show up looking the part but offering major comfort in breathable and cooling linen. This is a one-and-done look that only asks that you pair it with the right footwear to morph to the occasion. Think flat slide sandals for local sightseeing and shopping then switch to sky-high wedge heels for drinks and dancing.

A hybrid skirt and shorts bottom, the skort is the wild card that lets you choose your adventure. Amanda Uprichard nails vacation versatility with this knit style that’s both dependable and desirable. From post-spa activities to pairing it with a white bikini top for a sunset cruise on the water, this piece says I do as I please–and I do it well. If you love this option, there’s a matching cardigan so you can swing through the pool area in a full set. 

Sunny shout outs include a Valentino woven bucket hat and logo beach tote as well as Loewe tortoiseshell sunnies to complete the look.

Your swim trunks are the centerpiece in creating a waterside wardrobe. It’s important to bring many options but lean hard into looks that can balance both pool time and in-town outings looking for local cuisine. Forego changing and air dry while warming up for your spot at the volleyball court. Versace knows what’s up and helps you become that guy at the swim up bar. You know, the one with the cool baroque Medusa print shorts and stories for days. 

Your sunny escapes should be sans clothing but when you do have to dress up for evening dinners, you want something that floats on top of you like a warm breeze–nothing fussy. This linen-blend camp shirt from NN07 is the next best thing to wearing nothing. The beige hue offers versatility and the muted floral print isn’t anything you can’t handle. From Bermuda shorts to linen pants, this top knows how to go with the flow.

Who are you without your activewear? Free time means scheduling a tee time–it’s a no-brainer. Stay outside and stay active in Greyson’s sporty polo shirt with the brand’s signature get-noticed prints. Packing this polo means you can wear it on and off the course. It can even follow you to bloody mary breakfasts by the water. Besides, it’s moisture wicking, quick drying and has built-in UV protection. Think you look good in this? Nah. Know you look good. 

Props to Orlebar Brown flip flops, Acqua di Parma deodorant spray and lightweight Maui Jim shades that help properly build that off-duty starter pack.
