A Fresh New Sensation Has Arrived at the Villa—Here’s What I Would Bring for Fiji If I Were Part of the Cast.

A Fresh New Sensation Has Arrived at the Villa—Here’s What I Would Bring for Fiji If I Were Part of the Cast.

      I might have started my first-ever season of Love Island USA six weeks ago, but I'm not unfamiliar with the franchise—and the drama that comes with it. I've managed to stay updated and follow the Islanders on social media. I’m well-acquainted with the stunning vintage Cavalli outfits that Leah Kateb sported in the villa and Olandria Carthen's impressive heel collection that led everyone to believe she was at least 5'9" and had a modeling contract. As a fashion editor, I pay attention to show-stopping styles, particularly when they are broadcasted. Now that I’m deep into season 8 with 32 episodes watched, I've been contemplating what I would wear if I were ever selected for Love Island USA. (I'm a 28-year-old Gen Z with numerous opinions and a paralyzing fear of being judged by millions daily, so I don’t actually wish to be on the show. But it’s fun to imagine.) Since this show has taken over my evenings and social media feeds for more than a month, I decided to put together a packing list for a theoretical extended getaway to Fiji. I searched the internet for outfits that would be ideal for the main events occurring in the villa. If you're in the mood for sexy dresses, sheer details, unique bikinis, stylish heels, and more, keep reading.

      **First Impression**

      When you step into the Love Island villa for the first time, you aren’t merely introducing yourself to your fellow housemates; you're presenting yourself to the world. It’s only fitting that you do this in style.

      **MESHKI**

      Ruvic Knit Maxi Beaded Dress in Baby Pink

      The other women will be begging to borrow this dress. Mark my words.

      **Bec and Bridge**

      Xanthi V Neck Maxi Dress

      Purchase this only if you're ready to grab attention.

      **JENNY BIRD**

      Classic Anklet Stack

      Accessories are crucial for villa outfits. I would wear this anklet daily.

      **Tiger Mist**

      Liliana Summer Maxi Dress

      I love this two-in-one concept. It feels sexy without being excessive.

      I’d pay the extra luggage fee just to ensure these raffia heels make it to Fiji with me.

      **Seven Wonders**

      Estella Halter High Slit Maxi Dress

      No basic dresses allowed in the villa.

      **Peppermayo**

      Kolisa Beaded Halter Maxi Dress in Cream

      The shell detailing is exquisite.

      **MESHKI**

      Fiorella Embellished Satin Maxi Dress

      I urge you to zoom in on the embellished cups. I'm in love.

      **Daytime in the Villa**

      Every morning, while the guys prepare breakfast in the Glam Room, the women get ready. The women put on a complete swimwear look to stroll the compound, tan, engage in chats, work out, and gossip. Sounds like my perfect day. During this time, Islanders often shout, "I got a text!" when they receive a notification about an upcoming challenge or recoupling night.

      **Pucci**

      Printed Triangle Bikini Top

      **Anthropologie**

      Resin Shell Tassel Necklace

      Doesn’t this necklace match the bikini flawlessly?

      **Monday Swimwear**

      South Beach Sarong in Black Crinkle

      Semi-sheer and comes in six colors. Choose your favorite.

      **Anthropologie**

      Fringed Crochet Cap

      I actually own this and think you should, too.

      **Elisa Johnson**

      Riley Sunglasses

      I wouldn’t go anywhere—not even to Fiji—without sunglasses.

      **Free People**

      Carmel by the Sea Sandals

      Faux-toe-ring sandals for the win.

      **Staud**

      Aiyo Tankini Top Cobalt

      Who else supports the tankini comeback? This cobalt version is absolutely perfect.

      **Triangl**

      Este Canary Crush Neoprene Scoop Crop Bikini Set

      Check out the polka dots on the straps.

      **LINA LENNOX**

      Organic Silk Oversized Scrunchie Mint Green

      A scrunchie is an underrated accessory, whether worn in your hair or on your wrist.

      **Havaianas**

      Slim Square Flip Flop

      The women on Love Island are often barefoot or in slides during the day. I’d stick with my reliable Havaianas.

      This sarong can also serve as a scarf for your hair.

      **Free People**

      Oso Pendant Necklace

      It will add an aquatic vibe to any outfit.

      **Hunza G x Burberry**

      Devyn Skirt/Top in Red/Check

      Upon seeing this swimsuit, I knew immediately it had to be mine.

      **Free People**

      Akoia Swim Crochet Mini Dress

      Just throw this over a cute bikini and you’re good to go.

      **Jimmy Fairly**

      The Brooklyn

      Wear these, and you’ll have the trendiest sunglasses in the villa.

      **Show Me Your Mumu**
