We’re a day away from yet another long weekend. Whether you’re jetting off to the beach or to a colder climate, the problem remains the same: What do you pack? It’s hard to decide when you’ve got a million options around you plus the urge to shop yet again.
Still, you can bring all your ace items only to find out they don’t really go together once you land and unpack. The best way around this is to have a few outfits in mind. Pack according to a look you can do, and throw in a few pieces that can do double duty.
Okay, so the next problem is: What looks could I wear? This is where the ever-reliable Instagram comes in. And thank you to the celebrities who never fail to take a photo when they’re on their respective vacations. We rounded up 10 looks you can take inspiration from wherever you plan to go this coming long weekend.

Ditch the usual denim shorts for some breathable white cotton shorts. With this, you can finally wear that flirty and lightweight printed top post-swimming.

Who says that you can’t wear heels to the beach? For a photo or at least for some cocktails in your cabana, Liz Uy’s look says you totally can do anything with the right picks. A large striped skirt screams vacation and would work whether you choose to go barefoot or in some comfy slides.

Sure, summer colors are fun but what if you just can’t let go of your all-black wardrobe? Chi shows us that you can still pull off black against a tropical escape. Note how she works with a sleeveless top, loose polka-dot pants, and a weave bag. All the basics make for a statement when you don’t want to blend in the pastel party.
Bea Marin

You can appropriate some office wear items to the beach. Just look at how Bea packed her trousers and slides and paired it with an off-shoulder black number. Observe how the details such as the ruffled sleeves and the dangling earrings make this look party-ready.
