I'm Shopping for a Mediterranean Beach Vacation and Need These Pieces

Kristen Nichols  Mon, 24 Jul 2023  Who What Wear

Next month, I have a trip planned to visit Bodrum, Turkey—a beachside destination along the Mediterranean. Naturally, as a fashion editor, I've been thinking about the pieces I will be packing into my suitcase. It's been a while since I've headed on a beach holiday, so there are some vacation fashion items that are glaringly missing from my wardrobe. Among them are fresh swimwear, printed dresses, and strappy sandals. Plus, there are so many incredible drops from designers this season I've been considering that would fit into a beach wardrobe.

With that in mind, I made a list of the items sitting at the top of my shopping wish list for the trip. While I'll be packing pieces I already own, vacations are always a great excuse to shop for fun new items. Ahead, see the shopping finds topping my list, from the biggest vacation trends of the season to pieces I'm planning to wear year after year.

Hunza G's swimsuits are always a great buy, but I can't stop thinking about this striped version.

This was just released from Réalisation, so the timing seems perfect for my trip.

The shoes I've been thinking about for months.

I can't get enough of woven dresses this summer.

An icon.

Nothing says beach vacation like Missoni prints.

Perfection.

Yet another pair of shoes from The Row that I think about constantly.

I love the idea of wearing the bikini top with a maxi skirt beyond the beach.  Shop the matching Bottoms ($138).

Bag of the summer.

Yes to this halter neckline.

One of my favorite takes on the raffia trend.

The color of the year.

Somehow, a one-piece dress screams vacation to me.

I love the beaded detail.

My dream dress.

J.Crew is on fire right now.

Every fashion person is wearing linen pants this season.

This print, though.

Lié Studio is the jewelry brand I can't stop thinking about.

It doesn't get more classic than Eres swimwear.

Get in my closet.

Beyond.

I can see why this is nearly sold out.

So chic.

The only thing left to decide is which color.

Perfection.

Snag this while it's on sale.
