Although a spontaneous, luxurious getaway to Greece or the Amalfi Coast isn't in my current plans (I'm visualizing it, though), one can always dream.

These ensembles are not only fashionable but also easy to mimic or can serve as a guide when putting together looks from your closet.

      The Ultimate Summer Packing List for Greece or the Amalfi Coast

      Greece

      1. For a Day at the Beach Club

      No visit to Greece is complete without some time spent at a beach club. Whether you're heading to the exclusive Krabo in Athens, the iconic Scorpios in Mykonos, or any sun-drenched destination, you'll want an outfit that encapsulates the relaxed, cool atmosphere. Take style cues from Jen Azoulay and base your outfit around printed pants—silk is a nice touch. Pair them with a stylish bralette or bikini top, and since you'll likely be there for several hours, Layer with a lightweight, cropped piece like a short-sleeve button-down for the evening breeze. Finish your look with a designer raffia bag and footwear that’s both stylish and sand-friendly.

      2. For Exploring

      The ancient Greek era originates from 776 BC, offering a rich history eager to be discovered. Whether you're admiring the Acropolis or strolling through charming towns to appreciate the architecture, you'll need an outfit that blends comfort for extended walks under the sun with style for the numerous photos you'll likely capture. A knit minidress cinched at the waist with a belt is a perfect pick—effortlessly chic and easy to move in. Pair it with flip-flops, statement earrings, and a silk scarf or hat for sun protection.

      3. For a Morning Beach Session

      There’s something uniquely refreshing about leisurely mornings on vacation, whether you're lounging in bed ahead of your first adventure, fitting in a workout, or indulging in a good book while soaking up the sun. For me, the ideal lazy morning features a cozy spot by the pool or beach, reveling in warmth with iced coffee. To achieve this look, start with your favorite bikini and a breezy sarong that can be easily tossed on. Complete your beach-ready vibe with a wide-brimmed or Western-style straw hat for face shade, and a basket bag for essentials. Slide into comfy sandals and add some retro sunglasses—you're all set for ultimate relaxation in the sun. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen!

      4. For Dinner Followed by a Club

      Nightlife is a vibrant component of Greece's culture, particularly in hotspots like Mykonos, Athens, and various stunning islands. There’s something available for every night owl, from lively restaurants and bars to nightclubs, beach parties, and traditional tavernas. No matter the evening's destination, an elegant dress or skirt will be your go-to. For a glamorous style, take inspiration from Emna Sellimi with a crochet or knit maxi dress, paired with strappy heels and a mini bag.

      Amalfi Coast

      1. For a Boat Day

      Though I haven't experienced it yet, the Amalfi Coast appears nothing short of magical from all the photos I've seen. The highlight? A boat ride to places like Capri and Positano, including the famous Blue Grotto—a renowned sea cave. Given the picture-perfect nature of the day, you'll want an outfit that matches. Think sleek, minimalist elegance represented by a monochromatic white ensemble: a one-piece swimsuit, a sarong, and oversized sunglasses. It’s the ideal outfit to secure those unforgettable moments in style.
