PERFECT 10

Pack Light: 10 Essentials for a Summer Getaway

A beach, a book, and a chic, tightly curated wardrobe are all you need for a relaxing vacation in Mexico.


Wherever your plans for a summer getaway might take you, and whatever your beach front of choice, these 10 essentials belong on any packing list for a warm-weather holiday. From chic swimwear to classic beach reads, strappy sandals to woven wicker beach bags (and, of course, a bit of sun protection — sunglasses and sunscreen are critical), these must-haves look just as good on the beach as on the town. Breezy separates are just the thing for a summer getaway. See our top picks, below, inspired by a leisurely vacation on the shores of Oaxaca, Mexico, and start looking up flights.
