Whether you're escaping to the beach, embarking upon a European tour, or retreating to a resort, one thing is sure for any summer vacation: a suitcase full of amazing outfits. This year, bold and bright pieces are our preferred starting point, from '90s-inspired silhouettes (give us all the strappy necklines, tube tops, and platform sandals) to versatile classics (hello, tanks, oversize button-downs, and linen pants).
We're also prioritizing swimwear outfits — a.k.a. the kind you can wear waterside but seamlessly transition to a meal or a few hours of exploration without anyone being the wiser. The ultimate through line? Considered yet effortless formulas you can wear in myriad locales and keep in rotation long after your vacay (though, we seriously hope you're maxing out your well-deserved PTO!). From easy-to-throw-on dresses to fun and airy separates you can fully relax in, scroll for 10 vacation outfits you'll stun in — now, set that OOO message!
The Day-to-Night Sundress
A vibrant mini, like this Old Navy Fit & Flare Floral Tie-Shoulder Mini Cami Dress [1] ($37), is the ultimate day-to-night vacation number. Under the sun, style it with flat sandals and a Old Navy Straw Bucket Hat [2] ($25). After sunset, swap in these Old Navy Faux-Leather Wedge Thong Sandals [3] ($35) for an al fresco dinner.
The Tube Top Combo
Live your best Aughts life on vacay in this Old Navy Cropped Tube Top [4] ($17). Denim shorts, like these Old Navy High-Waisted Button-Fly OG Straight Ripped Cut-Off Jean Shorts [5] ($40), offset the strapless silhouette perfectly, as this colorful Old Navy Straw-Paper Crochet Tote Bag [6] ($30) lends a playfully bright finish.
The Bikini Outfit
Let your two-piece take center stage, starting with this Old Navy Underwire Swim Bikini Top [7] ($30). Flowy bottoms, like these Old Navy High-Waisted Lightweight Wide-Leg Cover-Up Pants [8] ($30) slip on easily as a coverup as this pair of Old Navy Tortoise Wire-Frame Aviator Sunglasses [9] ($17) ties it all together in a classic fashion.
The Oversized Shirt Solution
All hail the Old Navy Oversized Poplin Boyfriend Shirt [10] ($37). It's the ultimate layering piece when worn open over swimwear and separates, like this Old Navy Fitted Square-Neck Ultra-Cropped Rib-Knit Tank Top [11] ($13) and Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Tie-Front Cargo Workwear Shorts [12] ($35) for a day of exploration.
The Elevated Bathing Suit Ensemble
People will be questioning whether this Old Navy Cropped Cutout Halter Longline Bikini Swim Top [13] ($30) is for the water, or simply a way-cute crop. In our eyes, it's both! Especially when styled with tonal Old Navy High-Waisted Poplin Pull-On Shorts [14] ($27) and Old Navy Puffy Nylon Strap Sugarcane-Blend Platform Flip-Flops [15] ($20) for '90s vibes.
The Linen Pant Look
Whether you've had too much sun or are always shielding yourself from it, a lightweight bottom like these Old Navy High-Waisted Linen-Blend Wide-Leg Pants [16] ($40) keep you covered and super easy breezy. A simple Old Navy Strappy Rib-Knit Cropped Tank Top [17] ($15) adds to the warm-weather effortlessness while a fun Old Navy Canvas Tote Bag [18] ($30) ensures all your travel essentials are properly secured.
The Retreat-Worthy Romper
Take the pressure off yourself by opting for a one-and-done look on vacation — a.k.a. this Old Navy Textured O-Ring Halter Romper [19] ($35). You can relax knowing almost any accessory goes with it — we're partial to this Old Navy Straw-Paper Crochet Crossbody Bag [20] ($15) and these Old Navy Faux-Leather Asymmetric Strappy Sandals [21] ($25) when out and about.
The One-Piece Winner
What's better than a vacation outfit centering around swimwear? Literally nothing. So, start off with this Old Navy Pucker One-Shoulder One-Piece Swimsuit [22] ($50), then toss on this Old Navy High-Waisted Smocked Tiered Crinkled Mini Skirt [23] ($40) when you need an extra layer pre- or post-dip. Of course, we stan sun protection in the form of this Old Navy Straw Sun Visor [24] ($23).
The On-Holiday Halter
Certain silhouettes just scream summer, like this Old Navy Rib-Knit V-Neck Halter Top [25] ($15). In a vibrant shade, it's the ultimate summer essential. We love it best with a Old Navy High-Waisted OG Straight Cut-Off Mini Jean Skirt [26] ($40) and Old Navy Canvas Slip-On Sneakers [27] ($28) on vacay days when your step count is 10K-plus.
The Smocked Midi
Real talk: a cotton dress is a vacation MVP. So, say hello to this pretty Old Navy Fit & Flare Smocked Maxi Cami Dress [28] ($50). Whether as a coverup, daytime look, or night-out ensemble, it's comfy, breathable, and looks good with everything — team this fun Old Navy Frayed Canvas Bucket Hat [29] ($20) and Old Navy Faux-Leather Cross-Strap Sandals [30] ($20) for your first spin.
