Planning a wardrobe for vacation is always a challenge, but once you nail that smart casual dress code, it’s easy. Smart casual is actually about comfort, not just making sure you look polished. Whether your destination is a tropical paradise, charming countryside, or bustling city, get ready for an adventure with these essentials from Hey Chic’s Vacation Collection.
Dresses: The Star of Vacation Outfits
You can’t go past dresses when it comes to vacation dressing. It’s the ultimate one-piece wonder-no matching required slip it on and go.
The fan favorite is the Wrap Dress. Hugging your body in all the right places will immediately give you that chic, tailored look with absolutely no effort. Perfect for sunset dinners or melancholic strolls down cobblestone streets.
Think breezy, flowy, and elegant with the tiered maxi dress. It’s the kind of dress that feels as light as a summer breeze and is perfect for beachside strolls or alfresco brunches.
The Floral Midi Dress. For daytime escapades, nothing can beat this. Playful yet sophisticated, it offers the right blend of fun and polish, whether for sightseeing or casual lunches.
Tops: Where Style Meets Versatility
Tops are the foundation for all smart casual outfits. Toss one on over a skirt, shorts, or pants, and you are ready to handle what the day throws your way.
The Boho Crochet Top has a real flair for boho-chic. It’s made for casual-chic with those beachy moments and yet pairs just as beautifully with tailored pants on a night out in town. And, a neutral button-down shirt is quintessential for every traveler. It is lightweight and stylish enough to work as a standalone top or as a layering piece when the temperature drops. Then, of course, no active day is complete without the Statement Tank. Ease with breathability and a touch of sophistication on the casual.
Bottoms: The Unsung Heroes
Smart casual is all about bottoms that keep pace with whatever your plans are, whether it’s lounging by your pool or taking a walk around the market.
The tailored shorts are a must-pack. Sleek yet casual, these great high-waisted wonders provide a streamlined silhouette to pair with cropped tops or tucked-in blouses in all the right ways.
Wide-leg pants are the ultimate choice when something a little dressier is in order. Elegant with comfort, flowing beautifully with every step, from travel days to evening dinners.
Then, the Midi Skirts are your thing if you’re after something ultra-feminine. Stylish and airy, they make a perfect combination with fitted tops to make classic vacation wear.
Accessories: Small Things Have a Huge Effect
Accessories can’t only make or break an outfit, but on vacation, they’re so much more than decorative, too.
A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses aren’t just protection from the sun but also a fashion statement to add flair to anything. Add these to your favorite dress, and you’re instantly ready for vacation.
The minimal jewelry, such as hoop earrings or a dainty necklace, adds enough sparkle to complete the look without overdoing it.
And who can forget shoes? Chic espadrilles and block-heeled sandals complete the comfort of the fashionable ensemble for everything from boardwalks to dinner parties.
