It’s that time of the year again. You’re scrambling for spring break plans, but you have no idea what to wear. We’ve all been there, but this look book will have you covered with all of the inspo you need.
Let's start off with the airport outfit, because traveling is so much more fun if you romanticize it. A matching sweat set from The Mayfair Group is the perfect model-off-duty look that's still comfortable enough to travel in. Style it with a slicked back ponytail and big gold hoops, and you instantly become the it girl at the airport. For a more athleisure vibe, an Alo Yoga workout set paired with a leather jacket and your favorite white sneakers is the perfect Hailey Bieber-esque look. For a cheaper sweat set alternative, check out the Hanes or Gildan brands on Amazon. They are Aritzia dupes!
Away suitcases are up and coming, and not only do they look sleek, they are also extremely functionable. They include a USB outlet inside the suitcase, and they come in multiple colors. If you’ve never thought of your suitcase as an accessory to your outfit, now is the time to start.
Mini skirts are IN this year. And what's better than a mini skirt? A mini skirt with a matching bathing suit. From morning brunch to spending the rest of the day by the beach, this look will be your best friend. Djerf Avenue and Frankies Bikinis are your go-to places to shop this look. Who doesn’t want to channel their inner Matilda Djerf on vacation? If you can’t tell, matching outfits are my favorite trend of 2022. They’re just effortlessly chic.
As for shoes, platform sandals are a necessity. Don't worry, I’m not talking about the wedge flip flops that were all the rage in the early 2000s. Platform flip flops will be a game changer this spring break. They are functional beach shoes that are stylish enough to rock all day long. I am a firm believer that platform shoes are the simple key to elevating any outfit. If you are looking to spice up your look, choose sandals with a pop of color. Pepper Mayo and Princess Polly are the places to look for the ultimate vacay sandals.
Cowgirl boots were trending in 2021, and they are not going away anytime soon. They pair perfectly with a sundress, or if you are as extra as I am, go ahead and put them on with your swimsuit. They are the shoes you never knew you needed. Amazon has a variety of affordable colors and styles to choose from, but if you’re looking to splurge, check out Revolve.
And just like that, your beach day is over and it’s time to go out. You want something sexy yet beachy… nothing like what you’d be wearing in Syracuse. You’ve come to the right place. Skims. Maxi. Dress. It’s infamous, and I’d say everyone needs at least one in their wardrobe, although I’d like one in every color. It's known for being flattering, comfortable, and sexy. Top it off with jewelry and those platform sandals we talked about and you instantly have the perfect spring break night out look. Basically, just run to Skims.
Oh, and don’t forget sunglasses! Colorful lenses are so in. Personally, I always lose my sunglasses, so I definitely do not want to spend a bunch of money on them. Retro sunglasses are so trendy right now, and Amazon offers many colors and shapes to choose from. My personal favorite is the aviator shape with a tinted lens!
With these tips, your spring break wardrobe will be unstoppable. After all, we all deserve to feel comfortable and confident on vacation.
