I just returned from Vietnam—these fashion and beauty products are ideal for a tropical getaway.
If you know me, then you’re aware that I’m always preparing for another trip. I recently returned from Vietnam, and I had an amazing time on my first solo travel experience. From the delicious food and stunning landmarks to fantastic shopping, there’s genuinely an abundance of things to do and see. For those who might not know, Vietnam has a Tropical Monsoon climate, meaning it can get quite hot and humid depending on the city and the season. While I was mostly ready for what I would face, there were a few essentials I wish I had packed. Below, I've outlined the vacation fashion items and beauty products that I recommend taking on your next journey. If you're visiting a similar destination, I have you covered. From stylish yet breathable linen clothing to essential skincare products, I’ve included everything you might need. Keep scrolling to discover the beauty and fashion selections that have my editor's approval for tropical climates.
