How to Dress Like That Girl on Vacation

You know her. She’s glowing before she even steps off the plane. She’s got a drink in one hand, sun-kissed skin, and an outfit that turns the whole beach into her personal runway.

She’s that girl on vacation - and trust me, becoming her is less about budget and more about energy. Confidence. Vibe. And, of course, styling the hell out of your wardrobe.

If you're ready to upgrade from tourist to trendsetter, here’s your no-BS guide to dressing like that girl while living your best vacation life.

1. The Power of the Perfect Swimsuit

Let’s get this out of the way: Your swimsuit is the centerpiece of the vacation wardrobe. It’s not just for swimming - it’s your base layer, your fit pic moment, your all-day slay.

Go bold with cut-outs, asymmetric straps, or metallic finishes. High-cut bottoms? Always. Match your suit with your energy - spicy, soft, or straight-up savage.

Pro tip: A matching sarong or mesh skirt takes you from beach to bar in 0.3 seconds.

2. Don’t Sleep on the Cover-Up

The right cover-up can be hotter than what’s underneath. Think sheer maxis, open-knit dresses, or oversized linen shirts you “borrowed” from a hot stranger (or just bought, whatever).

It should feel effortless but styled - like you just threw it on and still managed to look better than everyone else.

3. Coordinated Sets = Instant It-Girl

A matching two-piece set in tropical prints, breezy fabric, or white linen screams "luxury resort," even if you’re just headed to a beach club. Bonus: sets pack easy and look expensive.

Style it up with gold jewelry, strappy sandals, and oversized sunglasses. Hello, paparazzi energy.

4. Don’t Be Basic at Dinner

Dinner on vacation? It’s not just a meal - it’s a fashion event. Ditch the denim shorts and grab something flowy, silky, or sparkly.

A plunging neckline, an open back, or a dress with a dramatic slit? Yes, yes, and yes. You’re not just eating pasta. You’re serving.

5. Accessorize Like You Own the Island

It’s the extras that set that girl apart:

A wide-brimmed hat
Gold layered chains
Statement sunglasses
Ankle bracelets
A straw bag with just the right amount of “I thrifted this in Italy” energy

6. Minimal Makeup, Maximum Glow

Nothing says vacation like a bare face that still somehow looks like a goddess. Focus on glow - dewy skin, lip gloss, a hint of highlight, and a touch of mascara. Salt in the hair? Bonus points.

Remember, you’re not trying too hard. You just wake up like this (or at least, that’s the story we’re sticking to).

7. Confidence Is the Main Character

Real talk: The best-dressed girl on vacation is the one feeling herself. Your outfit matters, yes - but your energy makes it iconic.

So walk like your sandals were made by Versace. Sip that piña colada like it's a prop. Laugh loud, pose shamelessly, and let your “vacation you” take the damn spotlight.

Final Vibe Check:

Dressing like that girl isn’t about impressing anyone. It’s about being unforgettable. It’s about feeling so good in what you’re wearing, you forget to check the mirror - because you already know you’re killing it.

Let the beach be your runway. Let the sunsets match your glow. And most of all, let every outfit scream: “I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
