Some summers are made for staying close to home. This isn't one of them. Whether you're tracing the harbor lights of Portofino, watching the sun set behind Santorini's white domes, winding through the lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast, or lingering over rosé in Saint-Tropez — you deserve to look the part without thinking too hard about it.
That's the entire premise of the Destination Edit. We've pulled the pieces our team would actually pack: STAUD bags that travel beautifully, Ulla Johnson dresses made for golden-hour photos, Clare V bags that make a statement without shouting, and sandals that earn their place on a cobblestone street. Consider this your packing list, curated.
Portofino, Italy
Portofino rewards the woman who dressed with intention and made it look accidental. Isabel Marant's Praia Small Raffia Bag is exactly that — structured enough to look considered, casual enough that you could fill it with peaches from the market. Pair it with a any button down white shirt and a printed midi skirt like Me369's Blakely Slip Skirt, and the harbor becomes your backdrop. Finish with a delicate necklace like EF Collection's Diamond Rose Necklace and you're done before the espresso cools.
Santorini, Greece
Santorini is the island that makes everything look editorial — you don't need much. An Ulla Johnson printed dress in soft neutrals against all that white stone. A STAUD mule in ivory. A delicate chain from EF Collection catching the Aegean light. Lynn Tallerico's Amy Mini Shoulder Bag as the accent that makes the whole thing. This is dressed-up restraint, and it's the most elegant approach you can take on an island this beautiful.
The Amalfi Coast, Italy
The Amalfi Coast is made for color — specifically, the kind of warm coral-red that looks like it was made for this light. A printed flutter-sleeve top tucked into white wide-leg trousers, a Clare V woven bag in terracotta, Alexa Leigh pearl jewelry doing just enough, and Simon Miller Pipe Sandals that won't quit on you after your third set of steps. This is the outfit that earns compliments at both the morning market and the cliffside dinner.
Saint-Tropez, France
Saint-Tropez has a particular confidence to it. The women there don't try too hard, and neither should your wardrobe. A ribbed cream halter liked the Thea Halter Top from Citizens+ NIBI MTK relaxed Edison Pants + Clare V red crochet Sandy Bag + Solei Sea flip sandals in poppy red — the palette is bold, the silhouette is clean, and the whole thing reads as unmistakably French without trying to be. The poppy red is the point: own it.
How to pack for all four destinations
The secret the Destination Edit is built around: four looks, one core wardrobe. Pack two bags (one structured, one soft), one pair of flat sandals, one wedge. Build your tops and dresses around neutrals and one bold accent color — this summer, it's terracotta and poppy red. Everything works together. Nothing fights. Your carry-on thanks you.
