Dreading packing for your upcoming summer vacation? We know how to make it quick and easy! With the help of Topshop, we’ve compiled our list of essentials you’ll need no matter if you’re taking a weekend trip or heading on a longer adventure.
1. Neutrals

The key to vacation packing is building a foundation of neutrals. They go with everything, they’re always chic and they can easily be dressed up or down. Our absolute must-haves? A well-worn jean jacket, high-waisted jeans, a plain white tee, tan sandals and a simple black dress. Endless possibilities! Shop our favorites at Topshop.
2. Good walking shoes

Trust us when we say you won’t want to deal with blisters while on vacay. This can easily be avoided if you bring comfortable walking shoes that you can go miles in without scraping the skin off your ankles. You don’t have to sacrifice style for function, though. We’re obsessed with these white sneakers from Topshop.
3. A day-to-night look

If you plan on going out after long days of relaxing on the beach, you’ll need some versatile pieces that can be taken from day to night. Be sure to pack a simple dress that can be dressed up or down. We suggest this simple black bodycon dress from Topshop that looks just as good with a jean jacket and flip flops as it does with heels.
4. Comfy layers

When you’re traveling, layering is key! You’ll need at least one light jacket (or heavier, depending on where you’re going!) for the plane, and you’ll also want something for night. We love this black bomber from Topshop, which is a neutral classic piece that can be easily dressed up or down. Beyond the jacket, we recommend packing tanks, tops and sweaters (in neutral colors like tan, black and white) so you can easily adjust to weather.
No matter where you’re going this summer, be sure to pack these absolute must-haves! You won’t regret it!
