I’ve just returned from nearly three weeks in the South of France and Paris where the Summer vibes are in full force. Packing for a marathon trip like this requires a few things — a big suitcase, patience, and strategy.
I typically opt for neutral colors, classic silhouettes, and pieces that can be styled multiple ways. I’m thrilled to partner with Mango for today’s post as they’re one of the top retailers I turn to for wardrobe items that fit this description. I’ve been shopping them for over a decade at this point! Plus, they have a wide array of budget-friendly options.
Today, I’m sharing some current favorites from Mango plus vacation outfit inspo for all your Summer travels! (Tell me - where are you heading!?)
Vacation Outfit Picks
Striped Ramie Shirt
I’m such a sucker for an oversized button-down on vacation! I love anything light, loose, airy, and chic for trips to the beach or pool.
Striped Ramie Pants
Pair the button-down shirt with matching trousers for a coordinated look you can wear from the pool to lunch to shopping in town.
The set feels very Italian Riviera coded to me.
Wide Strap Leather Sandals
A classic pair of flat leather sandals is a must-have for Summer vacation. This pair comes in black and brown. They’re low profile enough you could easily pack both pairs.
Strapless Balloon Hem Dress
Now this is how we’re doing balloon hems in 2025! How chic is this black and white midi dress? Easy enough to throw on and go, while still looking put together.
Raffia Market Tote
A summer tote like this is a summer trip essential IMO. You guys know I carry mine constantly. In this size I find they are perfect for your personal item on the plane and then great for day time exploring because they fit plenty. I love the leather stitch detail on this one.
FYI that this bag is the one item in today’s edit that exceeds $100.
Suit Vest
I’m loving the suit trend for this Summer (and recently wore it in Provence myself). It’s a good vacation piece because you can wear it with shorts (like below) or with a trouser or even a skirt. It’s a piece in your suitcase that will work hard for you.
Pleated Suit Shorts
Shorts, but make it chic. I like how this vest and pleated shorts look together but you could just as easily pair with a simple tank.
Raffia Bucket Bag
The essential Summer bag. Do NOT sleep on Mango bags. I’ve been shouting this from the rooftop for years. They are such a great price point, well made and look designer.
Cotton Suit Waistcoat
Another take on the suit vest trend, but in the prettiest olive shade.
Gathered Mini Dress
I love the silhouette of this flirty mini dress, but what’s even more appealing is the smocked fabric which means it will be so comfy.
Block Heel Sandals
A simple, elegant, and super versatile heel for the season. (Plus, I always opt for something with a block heel if I plan on walking on cobblestone in Europe!)
Buckle Strap Sandals
I love the look of these brown and tan sandals with gold hardware. I think they look way more expensive than their price tag.
Pleated Mini Dress
There’s nothing better than a 100% cotton dress in the Summer. Love this easy, breathable silhouette.
Strappy Kitten Heel Sandals
A good neutral heel is almost always in my suitcase for vacation to style with multiple looks.
