From butter-yellow dresses to jelly flats, these vacation essentials draw inspiration from fashionistas around the world.
If there’s one thing I aim to do while on vacation, it’s to eat, drink, and dress like the locals. I view travel as both a mental and physical getaway, so I prefer to fully engage with the places I visit. With the help of Instagram and my favorite international fashion influencers, I’ve put together the ideal vacation style guide. Below, you’ll find summer shopping lists for Mallorca, Copenhagen, Kauai, Cape Cod, and Paris, each inspired by the local fashions. Every location boasts its own distinct aesthetic: Copenhagen and Kauai are fantastic for embracing summer trends like jelly sandals and capri pants, while Paris and Cape Cod emphasize timeless styles such as linen sets and raffia accessories. Whatever your summer getaway plans are, you’ll surely want to check out the pieces below.
**Mallorca**
Ah, Mallorca! If you enjoy stunning coastal coves, endless boat outings, and a refreshing Tinto de Verano, then this is the ideal summer spot for you. My packing list for this trip would feature fisherman's trends like mesh flats, boater hats, and raffia totes. The playa tee below might be a bit on the nose, but I’m diving into niche coastal style this summer.
- Banana Republic: Oversized Vintage Cotton Cropped T-Shirt
- Banana Republic: Embroidered Tencel™-Linen Mini Dress
- Banana Republic: Raffia Tote Bag
- Banana Republic: Elliptical Pendant Necklace by Aureus + Argent
- Madewell: The Greta Ballet Flat
- Michael Kors: Isa Large Hand-Crocheted Tote Bag
**Copenhagen**
Honestly, my vacation attire usually prioritizes comfort and practicality, but not in Copenhagen. The fashion scene there is always on point, and I strive to keep up. This city allows you to embrace specific (and somewhat controversial) trends. For summer 2025, I'd suggest jelly flats, capri pants, fish-themed accessories, and perhaps bloomers for those especially hot days in Denmark.
- Express: Scoop Neck Sleeveless Drop Waist Midi Fit and Flare Dress
- Express: Linen-Blend Flowy Peplum Tank
- Levi's®: Wedgie Capri Jeans
- Staud: Tommy Beaded Shoulder Bag
- No Boundaries: Jelly Flats
**Kauai**
If you seek tropical vacation vibes along with a fitting wardrobe, Kauai is the place to be. For this destination, opt for vibrant colors inspired by Hawaii's native flora, invest in a new swimsuit, and pick up a pair of $10 rope sandals suitable for hiking to the beach. This vacation spot is all about unwinding by the water, exploring nature, and enjoying Mai Tais.
- Bellini Bikini: Yellow Daphne Dot Bikini
- Express: Tie Strap Cropped Bubble Cami
- Levi's®: Ambre Cotton Linen Babydoll Dress
- Madewell: Semiprecious Beaded Monstera Charm Necklace
- No Boundaries: Rope Thong Sandal

**Cape Cod**
Three words that capture this Cape Cod packing list? Classic, coastal, and chic. New England exemplifies the preppy Americana aesthetic all year, but come summer, everyone looks like they're the protagonist in an Elin Hildebrand novel. This list focuses on linen separates, woven accessories, boat shoes, and more.

- Express: Linen-Blend High Waisted Wide Leg Pull On Pant
- Express: Linen-Blend V-Neck Drop Waist Midi Dress

**Paris**
You know we adore French-girl style here at Who What Wear. The collection I’ve assembled below highlights the locals’ passion for matching sets, 90s-inspired accessories and footwear, and classic silk scarves. Paris is a city where I want to appear and feel polished, and the following items capture that essence.
- Express: Striped Halter Button Front Blazer Vest
