The Ultimate Vacation Starter Pack

As we near mid-Spring and temperatures begin to soar, there's no better time than now to plan an escape. Taking style cues from ShopStyle Contributing Editors Marcy Callahan and Pamela Carrera, we can't stop eyeing bold colors and punchy prints. Whether you're considering a tropical climate or discovering a new city, below are the must-have items to make sure you have in your suitcase.

From sunning in the Bahamas to sipping a refreshing drink on a rooftop patio, each of these statement dresses are putting us in full vacation mode.

The perfect finishing touch no matter the destination, try a strappy sandal with multicolor or metallic details.

Worn with a chic pair of linen pants or a printed skirt, any of these bold, colorful tops will take your outfit to the next level.

Paired with a plain tee, a midi skirt is the perfect way to incorporate a playful element to your vacation look.
