Travel season is officially here, and at Lilac & Grace Boutique, we know just how exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) it can be to plan the perfect wardrobe. That’s why we’ve curated a guide full of summer travel outfits that blend comfort, versatility, and our signature touch of style.
Jetting off to a seaside resort, hitting the road with your besties, or exploring charming cities, we’ve got the pieces that’ll have you looking and feeling your best.
Our Summer Travel Style Philosophy
When it comes to summer travel outfits, our mantra is simple: effortless, breathable, and beautiful. We design and select pieces that can go from sunrise sightseeing to sunset dinners; because your wardrobe should work as hard as you do when you’re adventuring.
We lean into soft fabrics, flattering cuts, and colors that are both timeless and on-trend. Think flowy dresses, breezy tops, and denim that doesn’t sacrifice comfort.
Travel-Ready Dresses That Make Packing a Breeze
There’s nothing quite as easy as tossing a dress in your suitcase and calling it a day. We love packing versatile options like our Ruffle Romance Maxi Dress—it’s feminine, flows beautifully, and works for everything from a winery tour to a candlelit dinner. For something shorter and playful, our Wildflower Waltz Dress is cute, comfy, and guaranteed to earn compliments.
Denim That Goes the Distance
No travel wardrobe is complete without the right denim. Our favorites? The Michaela High Waist Skinny Distressed and Curvy Christina Wide Leg Luxe Stretch Jeans. These styles move with you, hold their shape, and look great paired with tanks, kimonos, or graphic tees.
Light Layers = Smart Travel
Let’s be honest—airplanes get chilly, mornings can surprise you, and sometimes that tropical breeze has a bite. We always recommend packing one or two lightweight layers. Our Soft Stride Vest and New Opportunities Utility Jacket are our go-to travel toppers.
Tops That Go the Extra Mile
The best travel tops? The ones you can wear three different ways. Our My Type High Neck Tank and Lustrous Luxe Scoop Neck Top are easy to style up or down. Plus, they don’t wrinkle easily—perfect for pulling out of your bag in a hurry.
We’re Proud to Be Inclusive
At Lilac & Grace, we believe every woman deserves to feel amazing in what she wears. That’s why our Curvy Collection features styles designed specifically to flatter and celebrate curves. You’ll find the same great trends in sizes that love your body back.
Packing Tips We Swear By
We always suggest starting with a neutral color palette like ivory, denim, and a fun pop of color. From there:
-
Stick to 3 tops for every 2 bottoms
-
Bring a lightweight dress or two
-
Don’t forget a layering piece
-
Choose 2-3 pairs of versatile shoes (sneakers, sandals, wedges)
-
Accessorize with lightweight jewelry and a statement bag
Why Confidence Is the Best Travel Companion
When you feel confident in what you’re wearing, everything changes. You smile more. You move differently. You enjoy your trip without constantly adjusting your clothes. That’s the energy we want you to take on every summer adventure and we’re here to help make it happen.
