If you\u2019re lucky enough to be packing for a European summer vacation, you have a lot of fun choices to make–including your outfits! There are some key differences between the US and Europe<\/a> that can impact your packing. First, you\u2019ll want to be mindful of suitcase space. Second, it\u2019s quite unlikely you\u2019ll have access to both a washer and dryer. While washing machines are fairly common, dryers are not, especially around the Mediterranean. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of packing a bunch of individual outfits, choose staple pieces that all look great together\u2013essentially creating a <\/span>capsule wardrobe<\/span><\/a>. (There’s a reason packing-light subReddits like r\/HerOneBag are popular!) With this blog guide, you’ll find all the essentials for putting together your best <\/span>best outfits for summers in europe
\nEurope<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Long-Sleeve Tops<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re staying by the ocean, the breezes can be chilly at night. A long-sleeved <\/span>button up shirt<\/span><\/a> or blouse is the perfect piece to have with in your suitcase. You can also throw a button up on over a swimsuit for the perfect cover-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crop Tops<\/h2>\n

Shop the Look<\/b>: Feel Like Dancing Taupe Crop Top<\/a>, Anthoula White Eyelet Embroidered Crochet Lace Crop Top<\/a>, Cadie Red Mesh Off-the-Shoulder Top<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You won\u2019t always find air conditioning in Europe. Outfits for summer across the pond should be planned with hot days in mind. One way to beat the heat is with a sleek <\/span>crop top<\/span><\/a>! Crop tops look great with pants, shorts, or skirts, and you can throw a long-sleeved blazer or shirt over them when the weather cools off at night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Dresses<\/h2>\n
\"european<\/a>
Shop the Look<\/b>: Laylie Medium Wash Denim Lace-Up Midi Dress<\/a>, Masterfully Mod Black Side Button Midi Dress<\/a>, Esmeray White Lace Sleeveless Tiered Midi Dress<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you\u2019re on <\/span>vacation<\/span><\/a>, the last thing you want to worry about is complicated clothing. So pack a dress or two that looks great and can take you from day to night without being too fussy. Save space in your suitcase by picking neutral-colored dresses and then elevating them up with smaller, easily packable accessories, like <\/span>colorful jewelry<\/span><\/a> or shoes with fun embellishments. Midi dresses<\/span> are a great choice for European summer outfits, because they can easily be dressed up or down depending on your accessories.<\/span><\/p>\n

One Fancy Dress<\/h2>\n
\"european<\/a>
Shop the Look<\/b>: Never a Dull Moment Bright Red Tie-Strap Pleated Midi Dress<\/a>, Unmatched Elegance Tan Leopard Satin Sleeveless Midi Dress<\/a>, Sleek Essence Light Yellow Satin Halter Sleeveless Mini Dress<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course, you\u2019re in Europe! This might be a once in a lifetime thing, so in addition to your cute-but-practical dresses, you should treat yourself to at least one fancy showstopper of a dress for a night out. Look for romantic details like ruffles and gathering, or interesting fabrications with details like leopard print and pleats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knit Dresses<\/h2>\n

Who wants to haul a bunch of luggage on a European vacation? Not us, that\u2019s for sure! That\u2019s why we recommend knit dresses to our traveling sisters. Simple, comfy knit dresses are comfortable, easy outfits that resist wrinkling. Pack one or two\u2013 they don\u2019t take up much space\u2013 and rewear them. With a little steam from the shower to loosen any folds, these dresses have significant re-wearability. They aren\u2019t just great for wearing in Europe; they\u2019re great as part of your traveling outfit, too, since they won\u2019t get creased during the plane trip. Style them with some comfy-yet-cute sandals and you\u2019re good to go globetrotting!<\/span><\/p>\n

Linen Pants<\/h2>\n
\"european<\/a>
Shop the Look<\/b>: Hit the Breeze Beige Smocked Wide-Leg Pants<\/a>, Jet Stream Black High Waisted Wide Leg Pants<\/a>, Sophisticated Beauty Ivory Linen High-Waisted Trouser Pants<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can\u2019t recommend <\/span>linen pants<\/span><\/a> highly enough for Europe outfits. Summer is the perfect season for linen; they\u2019re warm enough for a Scandinavian summer, and cool enough for the Mediterranean. They\u2019re also super stylish, and they go with everything. And they pack well! Linen is light and wrinkles fall out easily. Just hang them in the bathroom as you shower and let the steam work its magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer Sweaters<\/h2>\n
\"summer<\/a>
Shop the Look<\/b>: Izara Cream Crochet Knit Tie-Front Long Sleeve Top<\/a>, Springtime Sweetie Sage Green Loose Knit Cardigan Sweater<\/a>, Charming Element Ivory and Navy Striped Cardigan Sweater<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking of how the weather cools off at night, bringing a <\/span>lightweight sweater<\/span><\/a> is a must for European travel. The perfect summer sweater is easily packable, avoids wrinkles, and isn\u2019t too heavy. Crocheted sweaters are an ideal choice; the open, lightweight construction won\u2019t let you overheat but will keep the chill off of your shoulders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Comfortable Walking Shoes<\/h2>\n
\"summer<\/a>

Europe=walking. No matter where you go, you are going to be walking a lot\u2013 so wear comfortable shoes with good arch support. A cute, comfy pair of <\/span>sneakers<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>slide sandals<\/span><\/a> can mean the difference between having an amazing time and getting painful blisters on the very first day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chic Swimsuits<\/h2>\n

From the Amalfi Coast to Santorini, Europe is full of beautiful beaches and spots for sunbathing and swimming. A classic white or black swimsuit looks elegant and stylish. Throw on a <\/span>cool coverup<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019ll be good to go on just about any European beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cute Coverups<\/h2>\n

With their resortwear aesthetic, coverups give you a little extra coverage to protect your shoulders from the sun, keep you from getting too chilly as you dry, and swing by your side as you stroll through sunny outdoor paths and any resort lobby you come across. Coverups can be very fun and playful; look for fun design choices like fringe trim, bright colors, and interesting patterns. Crochet coverups are quite popular, since the open construction keeps you cool while you chill by the pool.<\/span><\/p>\n
