Summer Travel Essentials
Curated vacation styles from Off-White, Jacquemus, Casablanca and more.
The idea of a summer vacation always feels particularly special; a trip to get excited about, carried away with and dressed up for. Over the last few seasons, men’s and womenswear brands have presented pieces designed, seemingly, exclusively for summer travel, from Bottega Veneta’s tangerine Puddle Slingback Sandals to Jacquemus’ relaxed Bermuda shorts to Casablanca’s graphic-print denim bucket hats.
As the days get longer, flights get booked and summer vacation approaches, here are 12 pieces that will ensure you’re traveling in style.
Jacquemus Le Short Raphia 'Cream'
When considering what to pack for a summer trip, don’t doubt the versatility of a strong pair of shorts. This Jacquemus style made its debut for Spring/Summer 2021 in a wheat field outside Paris but would do well in almost every getaway scenario.
KidSuper Kids Shorts 'Multicolor'
Marrying label founder Colm Dillane’s art-world intentions with all-day comfort, KidSuper’s Kids shorts are a nod to classic summer scenes that’ll carry you through to Labor Day and beyond.
Wacko Maria Short-Sleeve Hawaiian Shirt (Type-1) 'Green'
A splashy shirt is an integral component of any vacation wardrobe, whether you’re going for present-day Jeff Goldblum or honoring Baz Luhrmann’s ’90s classic Romeo + Juliet. Tokyo-based cult label Wacko Maria knows this well, as this green floral number proves.
Bottega Veneta Puddle Slingback Sandal 'Tangerine'
The Wellington boot may have championed rubber early on, but the material’s current moment is the product of a campaign spearheaded by titans of summer footwear design. While a bright kelly green has become synonymous with the house in recent years, Bottega Veneta’s tangerine-colored pair is a winning choice for 2022.
Casablanca Cuban Collar Short-Sleeve Shirt 'Table Tennis Club Sunset'
The silk shirt is central to Charaf Tajer’s vision for Casablanca. For Spring/Summer 2022, Tajer paid homage to Japan and a close Japanese friend with a collection dubbed ‘Masao San.’
There’s no vacation wardrobe without statement-making sunglasses, and this pair from MCQ fits the bill tenfold. Lean into the cool green glow with an outfit that reaches the same tonal heights, or opt for monochrome and let them pop even more.
Casablanca Printed Denim Bucket Hat 'Casa Club Sunset'
Typically associated with ’90s California skate and surf culture, in recent years the humble bucket hat has earned its place among the headwear heavyweights. For the nostalgic and the easily sunburned, it’s a vital element of vacation packing.
Salomon XT-6 Advanced 'Evening Primrose'
Merging technology and aesthetics is a solid sum for most sneakers, and with its XT-6 Advanced silhouette, French brand Salomon has tapped into one of the better equations. Perfect for those who like to get active on vacation, play up the bright palette with white running shorts and a plain tee.
Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Tote Bag 'Water Green'
A chic take on the modern beach bag, this striped canvas Saint Laurent tote is spacious enough for a couple of towels and will surely elevate any beach vacation outfit.
Part luxury show-stopper, part travel essential, Fendi’s leather AirPod case taps into the Italian brand’s long-standing luggage tradition, while offering some peace of mind to AirPod owners on their third pair.
Off-White Passport Holder 'Black/White'
This Off-White passport holder has all the credentials of a classic, accented by the label’s signature use of punctuation. Simply put, you’ll never misplace your passport again.
Burberry Check Stretch Nylon Triangle Bikini 'Pale Blue'
If you’re in any way nostalgically inclined, this Burberry check bikini will tick all the right Y2K boxes, evoking Kate Moss and Liberty Ross’s iconic Mario Testino-shot campaign from 2000.
