We all look forward to our summer vacations and all that fun in the sun. You may be headed on an exotic cruise, a mountain retreat or even a relaxing beach vacation. No matter your destination, you’ll want to make sure you have the right clothing for any possible occasion on your vacation.

Summer invokes thoughts of lightweight fabrics, shorts and generally comfortable clothing. Gone are the multiple layers of the winter wardrobe. Here’s a look at some of the best types of clothes to bring with you on your vacation.

Some of today’s modern fabrics are designed with the vacationer in mind. Designed to keep you comfortable during hot days, these fabrics will wick moisture away from your body, keeping you much cooler. In addition, natural fabrics such as cotton and silk are optimal summer clothing fabrics.

Scoop and V-necklines are a great summer options, as are short-sleeved and sleeveless shirts. Add colorful accessories for a fun summertime look.

You’ll also want to include both men’s and women’s jeans as part of your vacation wardrobe. These are versatile and can go from casual to dressy with the right accessories and shoes.
