The best beach vacation tops are elevated basics, beaded graphic tanks, drapey backless styles, and asymmetric silhouettes you can mix and match with every outfit in your suitcase.

When you’re packing for a trip, easy outfits are everything. You want tops that are breathable, versatile and quick to style so you can spend less time deciding what to wear and more time exploring…and partying.

A good holiday lineup includes:

• Basic, easy-to-style tops
• One or two fun/graphic pieces
• A couple of dressy, elevated options for nights out
  
  Backless tops in draped or asymmetric cuts are a fave right now. They’re lightweight, flattering and instantly dressy.
  
  Beaded graphic tanks are another must-pack. They add personality to simple vacation looks and work with denim shorts, mini skirts or linen pants.
  
  And don’t underestimate the power of an elevated basic! A tank with luxe fabric can take you from day to night. Just swap linen shorts for a midi/maxi skirt or a sequin mini, then finish with wedges for an effortless resort vibe.

The best swimwear for your beach plans includes light pastels, floral and tropical prints, and bikinis with shell charms, bead details and gold hardware.

Details make all the difference on vacay, and this season’s must-haves are shell accents, beaded charms and gold hardware. Little touches like this make your swim look luxe without trying. Mix and match your bikinis with linen pants or sheer layers from the resort collection to build an effortless pool-side wardrobe.
