Casual Tops from Umgee at June Adel
Nail the relaxed, boho-cool vibe with breathable fabrics, soft hues, and flattering cuts. Whether you prefer flutter sleeves, embroidery, or flowy tunic styles, Umgee tops are perfect for pairing with shorts during the day or resort pants in the evening. Just add a pair of statement earrings and you’re ready for dinner with a view.
Casual Shorts from June Adel
No summer weekend bag is complete without a couple of pairs of well-fitting casual shorts. The June Adel collection features comfy, stylish options that are easy to dress up or down.
We love the lightweight materials, soft textures, and neutral tones that go with everything. Whether you’re walking the boardwalk or exploring a beach town’s local markets, these shorts are an easy go-to all day long.
Board Shorts from Maxine of Hollywood
For active days in and around the water, a great pair of board shorts is essential. Maxine of Hollywood offers stylish and functional options that provide more coverage than your typical bikini bottom without sacrificing style.
These shorts are perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply walking along the shoreline. Plus, they pair beautifully with both swimsuits and breezy tops, making them a versatile staple in your travel wardrobe.
Rashguard Swimsuit from WET Swimwear
You can’t head to a resort or the lake without at least one swimsuit. I always bring two, so there’s always a dry suit ready for the next dip in the water. Whether you’re swimming, surfing, or just spending a full day in the sun, a rashguard swimsuit from WET Swimwear is a must. These suits offer a flattering fit and bold, fashion-forward designs that make sun safety seriously cool.
A Silk Caftan (or Two) from Vanner House
Nothing says “resort chic” quite like a silk caftan. Lightweight, flowing, and effortlessly glamorous, these are your secret weapon for instant style with zero effort.
You can throw it over your swimsuit during the day or wear it to dinner with wedges and statement earrings. Whatever your preference, a silk caftan from Vanner House offers the perfect mix of luxury and ease.
Go ahead, pack two. You’ll live in them all weekend.
Resort Pants from La Blanca
When the sun starts to set or the breeze picks up, slip into a pair of resort pants from La Blanca. These lightweight, flowy pants can do triple duty on a weekend getaway. They are made for lounging in style — think bathing suit cover-up, beachside brunches, or post-swim cocktails.
Their flattering silhouette makes them ideal for tucking in a tank top or pairing with a silk blouse. They’re also super easy to pack and wrinkle-resistant, which is a big plus when you’re living out of a weekend bag.
A Chic Jumpsuit from Elegance Miss
I love, love, love a great fitting jumpsuit. They’re easy and make you look instantly put-together. Whether you’re heading out for an al fresco dinner or exploring a charming coastal town, a jumpsuit from Elegance Miss is the perfect mix of casual elegance and comfort.
Pair with sandals and a straw hat for daytime, or swap in wedges and a clutch for evening — either way, it’s a suitcase MVP.
Linen Blend Cardigan by Umgee at June Adel
Even in the height of summer, evenings near water can get breezy. Enter this linen blend cardigan by Umgee. Available at June Adel, this layer is both practical and polished — the kind of piece you’ll throw over your shoulders while watching fireworks on the beach or roasting marshmallows lakeside.
It’s light enough to pack without a second thought, and stylish enough to elevate any look.
Bonus Tips for a Smooth Weekend Getaway:
- Keep your palette cohesive so all your pieces mix and match easily.
- Invest in packing cubes (these are the ones I never leave home without to save space in my carry-on).
- Limit your shoes to one pair of cute sandals, one pair of water/beach shoes and one pair of comfortable walking shoes.
- Pack travel-size essentials and a small waterproof bag for beach or pool days.
- Don’t forget the SPF!
