Where to Shop & What to Wear if You're Heading to Europe this Summer - Part 1
The first part of a definitive guide to all the spots that'll have you ready for a #EuroSummer - for sandals, for swim, for dresses, for bags and everything else you need.
Whether you’re heading to Italy or London or the French Riviera…I’ve got you, gals. Behold, part one of a curation of places to shop for your Eurosummer.
We have a glorious three-four month stretch ahead of us and if you’re lucky to be heading for a Eurosummer, consider this your style bible. It was a labor of love and one that I had so much fun working on.
After my recent trip to the South of France (where packing was an olympic sport), I decided to write down all the spots I love shopping at and the piece I like wearing when in Europe in summer.
And just a housekeeping note that this post is too long for email so I recommend opening it in a new browser tab or on the Substack app.

Part One — Where to Shop & What to Wear if You're Heading to Europe this Summer
I have a few tried and true retailers I always turn to for trips and for spring and summer in particular. I’m breaking them all down below with what I like to shop for from each as well.
We’ll start with some of the “duh” options above the paywall.
Dress // Sandals // Bag // Fragrance
Reformation
Probably my #1 most shopped brand for summer looks for the past decade. I wear and re-wear my favorite dresses from them non-stop every summer along with little linen and feminine tops to go with my favorite jeans and trousers. And I love finding darling matching sets for my Europe summer adventures, too. Matching sets are so underrated for trips IMO. The right one can help you maximize your outfits you’ve packed when you mix and match strategically.
Don’t miss the pants and shorts, too - I live in their linen bottoms all summer long. I always, always size up in this brand with very few exceptions.
Dress // Bag // Scarf // Sunglasses // Espadrilles
J.Crew
Not just for your Americana outings this summer, J.Crew has some great basics that are good for European summer adventures. Think fun printed swim, classic and darling dresses and key accessories like pool bags, sun hats and cute belts.
