Tropical Getaway
Tropical locations or a beach trip are often sunny, humid, and a perfect excuse to break out clothes that show a little skin.
It's an opportunity to show off your legs, shoulders, and other areas that are usually covered up at the office or when you're doing errands at home. Wearing breezy clothes that accentuate your shape will also up the romance factor.
Our favorite tropical vacation romantic top flatters every figure and accentuates your features. That's why the Clare Top from Just Bee Queen is our first pick as to what should be in your suitcase for your tropical vacation.
This top features lace details, a plunging neckline, and an artful fringe that will look beautiful set against sun blessed skin. Its cropped structure makes it perfect for pairing with high-waisted shorts or skirts.
The matching Just Bee Queen, Carmella Skirt is this top's perfect match. It features the same striking lace details, a high waist, and an asymmetrical hemline that will flatter your legs and give you a chance to show off your shoes.
A tropical backdrop is a perfect time to wear bright, bold colors as well. That's why the Vix Swimwear, Perola Knot Coverup is our next pick for your vacation wardrobe.
If you're looking for subtle see through clothes, this coverup works on several levels. Its beautiful red color will be flattering to most skin tones and its cut and shape will feel both sexy and sophisticated. It will look perfect over a bathing suit and be beautiful as a piece of lingerie.
For men, simplicity is key when it comes to beachwear. This Versace GV Signature Tank Top is stylish, simple, and comfortable enough for vacation wear. It is sleeveless, perfect for feeling the breeze on your skin and long afternoons of tanning.
These clothing tips and picks are sure to amp up the romance on your romantic tropical getaway.
Big City Getaway
Nothing says love and adventure like exploring a sprawling city with your significant other.
Vacationing in a bustling city gives you ample options to wear your best clothes and items you may not get to pull out of your closet enough. Whether you're in Rome, London, Madrid, or New York, there are so many different activities to dress for.
For shopping, museums, and light exploring, you can keep it chic and simple in a black turtleneck paired with chic trousers or a mini skirt for a European feel. Pair these with hoop earrings or a newsboy hat to make the look fun and fresh.
Short sleeves and neutral colors are perfect for hot days and pair well with accessories and other colors. The NPeal 007 Round Neck TShirt is the ultimate comfortable top. Its shade of light brown will go well with white jeans and platform heels or boots.
For men, rich textures and high-quality fabrics will keep them looking polished and sophisticated while keeping them cozy and relaxed.
A ribbed sweater in a striking, dark color looks universally flattering on everyone. This NPeal Cashmere 007 Ribbed Army Sweater is the perfect pick for a city look and will match many styles of pants and bottoms.
You can layer this over a t-shirt for weather changes. Best of all, it can easily be dressed up for a fancy dinner or dressed down for everyday activities.
A good match for this sweater, and many other shirts, is the NPeal Combat Trousers. These trousers are unique in that they combine utility with style. You can wear these in a nice setting without feeling out of place and you will also have the ease of convenient pockets.
Stick with modern cuts, solid colors, and comfortable fabrics for your days exploring exciting new cities together.
Ski and Snow Getaway
If your trip is taking you to colder climates, there are plenty of sweet and romantic options to help warm you up while kindling your love.
The best clothes for a mountain or cabin getaway don't have to be bulky sweaters or layers and layers of fabric. The harsher temperatures also give you a chance to show off your chicest jackets and sweaters.
Gorsuch clothing offers the Bianca Cable Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater which is the perfect example of a top that is as functional as it is stylish. Cashmere is famous for being soothing and soft on your skin while still remaining warm and breathable.
This sweater also features a knitted pattern that automatically boosts its style factor and will look great paired with jeans and snow boots.
The Gorsuch Inga Stretch Loden Skirt is an ideal option if the weather permits you to pull on a skirt. Its long length will protect your legs from the wind and cold. It comes in a gorgeous deep grey color that will pair well with most other colors and boots.
In cold weather, the real stunning pieces will be your jackets and outerwear. If there is ever a time to invest in quality outerwear, it's your romantic cabin getaway!
Ponchos, vests, and capes are fashionable alternatives to the average, everyday sweater.
Make a statement that will match the scenic background with something like this Gorsuch Country Soft Wool Cape. The wool will keep you warm while the olive green color will complement pictures with mountains and snow.
Statement pieces like this cape will also keep you feeling confident while staying covered up.
For men, nothing beats a classic like a denim jacket. Items like this Taburno Down Denim Jacket offer a rugged yet sophisticated look. The denim is padded with goose feathers to ensure you stay snug.
Desert Getaway
If you and your love are taking your romance to the dry heat of the desert, there are plenty of ways to look cute and flirty while beating the heat.
Hot weather gives you the chance to show off some skin, but the dry climate means you can still wear items like long dresses that would be less comfortable in a tropical, humid climate.
When it comes to colors, earth tones always look stunning next to the sand. Neutral tones like clay, brown, olive green, beige, navy, and black will ensure you match the backdrop and look stunning in photos.
Maxi dresses and skirts featuring high slits up the side will help keep your legs covered and cool while also showing enough skin and allowing you to feel the breeze.
Sheer fabrics are a great way to cover up if you're uncomfortable showing skin. Sheer or light fabrics make for perfect wraps to wear over sleeveless tops while you navigate through the heat.
Bathing suits featuring ruffled details, cutouts, or tassels are modern ways to sport a bohemian look while lounging by a pool. Don't forget to pair your suit with sunglasses! Aviator styles or retro sunglasses are timeless accessories.
If you love wearing your hair up in the heat, consider going beyond the basic rubber bands for your updos. Find colorful scrunchies for ponytails or consider colored bobby pins that will compliment the rest of your ensemble.
Headbands come in every pattern and color available now and they look perfect paired with a high ponytail.
When it comes to the rest of your accessories, think rugged-chic. This can be anything from braided leather bracelets to cowboy boots to silver dangle earrings.
When it comes to shoes, open-toed flat sandals will be your go-to for sightseeing and walks on the sand.
Feminine and Romantic Clothes for Any Location
The key to feeling like you look great while on vacation is feeling like the best version of yourself.
Feminine clothes can vary while still showing off your personal style.
Romantic details can come from something like a deep red color, scalloped details on a neckline, or a dainty silver necklace.
A soft and romantic look does not always have to include details like sequins, billowing skirts, and lace. It can be found in subtle ways within the cut of an item or the detail of the embroidery.
Certain cuts, like an off-the-shoulder top, will add a touch of romance to your look while still feeling unfussy. Squared necklines compliment every shape while showing the right amount of skin.
Long, breezy sleeves add a touch of romantic style to midriff tops paired with jeans or a skirt. If you love going sleeveless, capped sleeves or thin spaghetti straps offer comfort and a sexy, sophisticated look.
Patterns are an easy way to add romance to your outfit without trying too hard. Flower patterns are often easy to find and come in every color available.
When it comes to colors, shades of red, plum, pink, pastels, and cream will have you feeling fun and flirty.
Shoes often pull a look together and there is a romantic shoe for every style. Romance can look like high stilettos for an intimate vacation dinner, but it can also look like sweet ballet flats paired with a maxi dress.
The key to true romantic style is feeling sexy and confident in what you're wearing while you're with your loved one. Whether it's a long tulle skirt or jeans and a cute top, nothing says romantic like how you carry yourself.
Romance Is in the Details
No matter where you are going on your getaway, there are tips to make sure you always look ready for romance.
First, make sure the items you pack fit you properly.
Even the most beautiful clothing pieces will look unflattering if they do not fit. Something that is too tight will be uncomfortable all day and something too loose will have you adjusting, holding up, and "fixing" your clothes.
This is even more true of shoes.
It's great if you are used to walking in heels and comfortable wearing them in different settings.
But if you are not used to heels, it may be torturous to suffer through them for a night of walking or sightseeing for the sake of looking good. Walking gingerly while your toes are pinched together can be a mood killer.
Romantic details can be found in trying something new as well. For instance, if you often wear dark colors it could be fun to try a few pastels or a flattering bright color on vacation. It will boost your confidence and probably surprise your significant other as well.
Finding romance in the details means enjoying and honoring your unique beauty too. Valentino's Spring and Summer 2022 fashion line centered on "Anatomy of Couture," which aimed to showcase the world's diverse range of beauty.
The way you express yourself and your diversity is a beautiful thing and probably one of your partner's favorite things about you. So take a moment to spritz on your favorite perfume or paint your nails a color you love.
