Miessial Midi Dress

With nautical-inspired stripes and a breezy silhouette, this chambray blue dress brings effortless style to any summer itinerary. The midi length, lightweight fabric, and built-in pockets make it ideal for strolling seaside towns, grabbing lunch in a coastal café, or heading to dinner alfresco. Style it with crochet heels and a matching bag for dressier evenings, or add sneakers and a denim jacket for sightseeing on cooler days.

Quince Poplin Smocked Midi Dress

This striped chambray dress brings a romantic, French countryside energy to any summer trip. The ruffled sleeves and tiered skirt offer volume and movement, while the smocked bodice ensures it stays comfortable all day. Wear it with sandals while wine tasting in Provence, or pair it with sneakers and a light jacket for a morning market stroll.

Everlane The Popover Dress in Linen

This oversized linen dress feels like a summer weekend on the Cape—crisp, cool, and casually chic. The adjustable drawstring at the back lets you tailor the fit, while the 100 percent linen fabric is a game changer in hot, humid climates. Whether you’re browsing local markets in Mallorca or catching a ferry to Nantucket, pair it with espadrilles and a wide-brim hat for that polished-yet-unbothered look.

Anrabess Button-up T-shirt

Every suitcase needs a versatile tee, and this one nails it with soft fabric, a flattering neckline, and subtle button details that elevate the look. Toss it on with white trousers for a polished plane outfit, or layer it over a swimsuit with shorts on a beach day. At under $10, it’s the kind of staple you’ll want in every color. One shopper said it’s “buttery soft” and that the quality “exceeded [their] expectations.” So, it’s quite a steal at $9. 

Zesica Smocked Midi Dress

This dress was made for sun-drenched escapes. The smocked bodice offers comfort without sacrificing style, while the chambray blue with white trim feels straight out of a postcard. Dress it up for an outdoor dinner in the French Riviera, wear it with sneakers for a walking tour in Rome, or throw it over your swimsuit for a poolside lunch in the Hamptons.

Everlane The Drawstring Linen Boxer Shorts 

Lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly cool, these linen shorts are your go-to for everything from lounging at the hotel to exploring a new city in 90-degree heat. The relaxed fit and adjustable waistband add comfort for long travel days, while the chambray hue pairs well with everything from white button-downs to graphic tees.

Simplee Mini Dress

Flirty, flattering, and easy to pack, this puff-sleeve mini dress is a standout pick for rooftop cocktails or a breezy brunch. The smocked waist and airy sleeves give it structure without being stiff, while the chambray blue tone is incredibly on-trend. One reviewer even compared it to the coveted Anthropologie Somerset Dress—but at a fraction of the price.

Grecerelle Maxi Dress

If easy, breezy style is the goal, this maxi delivers. The relaxed fit, soft fabric, and flattering side slit make it perfect for long-haul flights, sunset walks along the boardwalk, or impromptu beach dinners. Reviewers even say it resists wrinkles, making it a reliable pick to toss in your suitcase without stress. Plus, according to a shopper, “The pockets are a bonus and it lays flat and does not add bulk while packing.”

Everlane The Slim Air T-shirt

When you need a break from your go-to white tee, this soft, dusty blue version offers an equally timeless alternative. Lightweight and breathable, it’s ideal for plane rides, travel days, or layering under a linen blazer for a casual dinner. Style it with everything from joggers to skirts—it’s as versatile as it is flattering.

Everlane Linen Mini Skirt 

This stretch-linen mini skirt is the kind of piece that works for both city breaks and coastal getaways. It’s fully lined (so you don’t have to worry about sheerness), and the tailored fit and sleek pockets offer a polished edge. Wear it with a tucked-in tee for exploring art galleries or a bodysuit and sandals for a casual dinner by the water.

Iswee Leather Tote Bucket Bag

Equal parts stylish and functional, this leather bucket bag in chambray blue is roomy enough for travel essentials but sleek enough to carry on a night out, too. Use it as your personal item on a flight—it fits a Kindle, snacks, and your travel wallet—or wear it crossbody while sightseeing. The magnetic snap closure and interior pockets keep everything secure on the go.

Old Navy High-waisted Linen-blend Ankle Pants

These ankle-length linen-blend joggers are a practical dream for travelers. They’re light enough to keep you cool in tropical heat, yet structured enough for breezy flights and train rides. Style them with a simple tank for a casual day out, or add a blazer and ballet flats for a more polished airport look. One reviewer called these the “perfect summer pants,” while another mentioned, “I live in Florida, so the fabric is perfect for our nice warm summers.” Priced at just $30, these pants are a no-brainer.
