22 of Our Top Picks For Your Italian Vacation Wardrobe

Feel like turning heads this summer? Put on this We the Free Holy Smokes Maxi Dress ($118) and get ready to be the star of the show. It can easily be dressed up or down, and versatility is key when traveling.

A romper is an ideal summer travel piece. It's great if you're spending the day walking through Rome or exploring coastal towns: it's comfortable to walk in and looks adorable. We love the tie waist on this cute Andrea Iyamah Shanti Romper ($250).

Denim shorts are a summer essential — you can wear them as a coverup or with a T-shirt and sweater for a more casual look. You can't go wrong with these Levi's 501 Original High Rise Shorts ($80). We love white denim for summer, but they also come in lots of blue washes.

This Hill House Home The Daphne Dress ($150) is a new addition to the Nap Dress lineup, and it's gorgeous. It's a slightly more dressed up version of the beloved Ellie, with the same comfort we're used to. There's smocking in the back but not in the front, and it comes in this fun citrus print as well as a light-blue floral.

Reversible bikinis are some of our favorites, because there's so much bang for your buck. The Kya Swim Reversible Penelope Bikini Top ($96) and Kya Reversible Bikini Bottoms ($82) are so sexy, and we love the classic silhouette. They have a fun, unique textured style on the flip side.

Everyone needs a great black dress in their closet. This Endless Summer Inma Midi ($98) looks like a classic midi dress from the front. The open back, though, is perfect for summer days and nights.

This H&M Shoulder Bag with Pouch ($25) is so affordable, you're practically required to buy it. We like that there are two straps: a chain-link shoulder strap and a thicker, removable crossbody strap. Plus, the little pouch attached to the crossbody strap is great for little things, such as keys or headphones.

These White Fox Boutique Golden Sunset Shorts ($40) and Behind the Look Shirt ($50) are the perfect casual day set for traveling. You can wear them to brunch, to the beach, or while shopping in the city. The shirt can be worn buttoned up or open with a tank or a bikini top underneath, and it also comes in white, blue, pink, and orange.

Doesn't this Caroline Constas Marnie Dress ($480) just scream summer? It's the perfect brunch-to-beach dress, and you can even wear it out at night. Plus, it can be dressed up if you find yourself at a nice dinner.

These Stone Fox Swim Bijou Bikini Bottoms ($88) and the Lele Bikini Top ($88) make for such a sexy set. The bandeau bikini ensures minimal tan lines, and the double bottom side straps are so flattering. The set comes in a bunch of different colors, but we love this fun print.

Looking for an easy summer dress that's affordable and adorable? Pick up this comfortable navy Old Navy Waist-Defined Puff-Sleeve Cotton-Poplin Side-Cutout Mini Dress ($30, originally 35) before it inevitably sells out. It's easy to pack and will be comfortable for hot days in the city.

A straw bag is the ultimate beach bag — sand won't get stuck in it. We like the long straps on this Zara Woven Shopping Bag ($50), which make it easy to carry. You can fit a book, aa snack, a bathing suit, and a small towel inside.

This Anthropologie Somerset Maxi Dress ($168) is a great pick for summer exploring. It's elegant and elevated but still comfortable and easy. It comes in a ton of different patterns, and it even has pockets!

This Steve Madden Sleeveless Mini Dress ($49) might not look it, but it's actually supremely comfortable. It's made of a T-shirt material, so it's comfortable to wear every day, and the side ruching is super flattering. You can wear it as a beach coverup, out to lunch, or even to a party. At $49, it belongs in your suitcase.

If you love a classic one-piece swimsuit, this Gnash String One Piece Swimsuit ($100) is the one for you. The side ruching is flattering, and we love the minimal straps and high-cut leg. It can also double as a bodysuit under jean shorts.

When traveling, you want at least one outfit you can dress up. This En Saison Cavaretta Midi Dress ($192) is it — it looks pretty with flats and heels and is supremely versatile. If a surprise party invitation presents itself, you'll know what to wear.

If you like wearing pants, get something lightweight and comfortable. These white Free People Sky Rider Straight Leg Pants ($128) have large, super-functional pockets and a comfortable tie waist. We like them paired with strappy sandals and a white T-shirt or a button-down shirt.

When it comes to footwear, versatility is key. These Staud Lara Espadrille Sandals ($350) are comfortable, have a little lift, and go with everything. They look great with linen pants or a bathing-suit coverup.

This white linen Reformation Irwin Linen Dress ($248) is a classic. The back is almost completely open, making the lightweight dress feel even breezier.

If you're going anywhere in the summer, you need sunglasses. Give yourself the gift of these cool Karen Wazen Scarlett Sunglasses ($145). They have a retro shape that's dramatic and fun, and we love the tortoiseshell.

Crisp white sneakers are another travel essential. These Tretorn Nylite Plus Sneakers ($75) are great for plane rides and days when you've got a lot of walking to do. Plus, they have a cushy inside with super-soft material, which will help prevent blisters.

Going traveling this summer? Grab this gorgeous Hill House Home The Laura Dress ($165). It's versatile and comfortable, and we love the tie belt; you can tie it in the front or back. It comes in this lilac stripe as well as in black, a mosaic print, and a rose print.
