Packing Edit: European Summer
Everything I packed, before I even left
I’ve done enough European summers to know what actually gets worn and what just takes up space. For this 10-day trip to the South of France and Amalfi Coast, I focused on versatile pieces, easy layers, and a few fun extras that make it feel like vacation without overpacking.
If you’re planning your own European summer or just want to mentally escape into a packing list here’s literally everything I’m bringing with me. I usually post these after I get back, but where’s the fun in that? Consider this an early exclusive.
Swimwear That Feels Like Outfits
I always pack a few bikinis that double as bodysuits or tops - perfect for when lunch happens immediately before/after the beach.
Cover-Ups, Dresses & Evening Looks
Everything light, flowy, and ready for golden hour.
Matching Sets & Daytime Staples
The easiest way to feel put together while sightseeing or grabbing an afternoon spritz.
Accessories & Bags
Lightweight, packable, and make every outfit feel intentional.
Shoes
I tried to be strategic here: easy flats for walking, a dressier slide for night, and one or two styles that just felt fun.
Sunglasses
I tend to choose sunglasses based on what energy I’m channeling that day - classic, directional, or just a little playful.
If I’ve forgotten anything, I’ll pretend it was intentional and go shopping. Because isn’t that half the fun of traveling, anyway? Shop everything from my suitcase HERE.
