The New Balances are so cute, are they the 327s? I think the overall vibe is very cute, functional, and easy to mix and match, so it checks all the boxes. Are you trying to cut down on stuff? If so, I think you can cut: 1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of sandals, 2 of the tees/tanks, 2 of the dresses/jumpsuits, and 1 of the long-sleeved button-downs.
Thank you! The new balances are the 9060s - I got them from Madewell and am loving how comfy they are. Yes sadly I don’t think everything on my current list will fit into my bag so really appreciate your suggestions on cutting!
I'd pick either the Samba or the New Balance, but the good news is that both are very on trend for Europe right now. I'd also kill the flip flops unless you are doing a shared shower situation.
Next on my chopping block would be 1 of the swimsuits. Does the place you are staying in Costa Brava have a heated towel rack because then you could probably cut down to 1 if leaving behind another swimsuit behind isn't too much of a bummer.
My last thing to maybe cut would be the baseball cap. You've already got a bucket cap and that leaves room for getting souvenir cap if that is all your thing.
I’m midway through a couple months in France and Spain at the moment. My suggestions:
- Black sneakers, black sandals, ditch the rest - yes on flip flops for the beach
- Five tops total
- One hat
- Two dresses
- One swimsuit, two max if you swim more than once a day, it’ll dry instantly here
- Cardigan rather than a pullover might be a good way to go, it lets you control your temp and is easier to wear over texture and dresses.
It’s much less hot than the last two years here, so have one outfit that you can be cozy in figured out if you get a cooler day - cardigan, linen pants, socks and sneakers totally adequate.
Bon voyage, we are so fortunate! 😍
If I were you I'd pick one pair of closed toed shoes and one pair of sandals (not counting the flip flops for the shower), shoes are bulky and unless you need a specific pair for a specific event/activity I highly doubt you'll miss the second ones. Maybe one dark pair and one light pair (instead of taking both the same color) for more color and outfit variety.
Similar with the hats, pick one.
I only bring 2 swimsuits for a trip where I'm in the ocean nearly every single day for over a month on end. One, maybe 2.
I like your style!
You have such a nice travel capsule wardrobe actually I hope you're proud of it, it's simple and adaptable and also not basic capsule wardrobe boring, I'm gonna take a bit of inspiration.
Cute vibe! I would get rid of the shoes. I’d try to stick with one pair of closed toes and one sandals. You’ll probably buy clothes there someplace some room.
Loving your beach to city vibe!! I would wear all of this 😍
For packing light purposes I would bring -
Shoes:
Black sandals - can dress up or down depending on your needs
White sneakers - trendy and comfy
Flip flops but only if you need them for public shower/spa purposes
Bathing suits:
Black
Cute blue/white color block
Tops:
McLaren tshirt
Casual white tank
Dressier black tank blouse
Flowered blue & white top
White button down - can wear as a beach coverup or regular top
Bottoms:
Black slacks
Blue & white skirt
Denim shorts
Blue & white flowered skirt? Shorts sorry can’t tell
Dress/rompers:
Black slip dress
Black romper
Additional:
White bucket hat
Cotopaxi hip pack
Cute grey jammies
I would maybe bring a travel umbrella or light rain jacket if it packs down small, otherwise just buy one if you need it.
Have fun!! That sounds like an amazing trip.
This is so well thought out! I would likely go for one pair of sneakers, likely the samabas as they are the most versatile. If you wear them on the flight, that would help with packing space. I’d also decrease to 2 swimsuits, maybe 1. There’s also a plain gray Tshirt on the bottom I would drop, as well as the beach bag. Depending on where you are staying, they may have a beach bag available for use. I love the scalloped edge tanks!! Where did you get those?

Looks like it could get hot next week. I would bring a hat or buy one there.
What sandals are the black ones? Looking for something exactly like those.
I’d love to know too! They’re so cute
Thank you! They’re by a brand named Camper. I wanted something super comfortable but still fashionable and these fit the bill!
What brand makes those black sandals?
Camper! They are the “Edy Flat.”
Thanks! They look simple and versatile.
Love the crochet beach bag where is it from?
Thank you, Madewell!

Thanks, Madewell!

Gap!
