It’s that time of year again: planning for your next vacay! Once you narrow down where you want to jet off to this season, the next thing on your to-do list should be figuring out what clothes to pack. Your vacation packing list should include your wallet, toiletries, a good book, and plenty of on-trend styles to see you through every occasion that may arise during your time away.
Whether you’re planning a camping trip with the kids, a relaxing tropical destination vacation, or a sightseeing adventure in the big city, we have the perfect tops and must-have bottoms for your getaway. Here’s what you should be packing, depending on where you’re going!
Your Vacation Packing List
An Adventure in the Great Outdoors
Pack up your tent, hiking shoes, bug spray, and these chic styles as you prepare for your outdoor vacation. Whether you’re planning a camping trip at a national park or a cozy cabin in the woods, you’ll want to make sure you bring comfortable yet functional clothes for the occasion.
Really any top would suit an outdoor adventure, but ideally, you’ll be packing items that don’t restrict your movement too much. A flutter cap sleeve knit top will keep you feeling cool, and the bright pop of color will stand out in photos. You may want to consider a more casual top as well, like an elbow sleeve scoop neck style. Our Boyfriend jean is made to move in, thanks to its slightly slouchy fit and “Ab”solution® fit technology, which molds and holds to your shape. Throw in some denim shorts designed with a slightly edgy chewed hem just in case the sun comes out.

A Laid-Back Beach Visit
From a relaxing staycation at your local beach to the tropical destination you’ve been saving up for, a little fun in the sun might be in store for you this season. In addition to your beach towel, plenty of sunscreen, and a sun hat, your beach holiday will be made so much better when you pack the right clothes.
Comfort and style will be a must on this trip, so lean into luxe fabrics and on-trend details when you pack your outfits. A colorful woven top with a pretty print and feminine embroidery will keep you cool in the sun and have you looking picture-perfect. A more casual style, like a twisted hem top, is a great choice for a day spent in the sun, as well. An on-trend denim skirt could come in handy if you find yourself at a coastal restaurant, and a pair of “Ab”solution Kick Flare jeans for when the evening chills over.

A Fun Cruise Getaway
What if you’re anticipating a vacation on a relaxing cruise ship? We have the perfect packing list for this destination as well, regardless of the type of cruise you’ll be embarking on. Be sure to grab your swimsuit for poolside drinks, walkable shoes for excursions off-deck, and these light, breezy styles.
You’ll probably be taking tons of pictures on your vacation, so eye-catching tops are a must. They should also have feminine detailing, like pleated short sleeves, pretty prints, or novelty smocking. Having a couple of woven options you can dress up or down will ensure you have the perfect style for each type of activity on board. In addition, you should definitely bring a trusty pair of colored “Ab”solution Itty Bitty Flare jeans that boost your assets, as well as a more casual Barely Booty style for exploring.

An Exciting Vacation in the City
If you’re packing your bags to explore a city, be it NYC, LA, or a European hub, you’ll want to make sure you’ll be dressed for the occasion. Comfortable shoes will be essential as you navigate busy streets and museums, as well as chic tops that will pop in your travel photos and jeans that will accommodate all the delicious food you’ll be eating.
We recommend smart yet comfortable tops that will look appropriate from the café to dinner, or a sports game to a Broadway show. Woven styles with ruffles, embroidery, and flounce sleeves are a great option. When it comes to your jeans, a couple of different washes will allow you to go from casual city-walking in blue to a romantic dinner in dark indigo on a dime. These “Ab”solution® styles will also ensure you look great and stay comfortable all day long, thanks to the mold-and-hold technology built in.
