Must-Have Summer Styles for Your Cruise Getaway

2. Nautical stripes paired with bold t-shirts
My suitcase ended up being a delightful mix of red, white, and blue. When preparing for a cruise, how can you resist embracing a nautical theme? I adore these high-waisted striped shorts matched with a casual yet trendy statement t-shirt. This season offers a variety of fun t-shirts, so you can choose the phrase that best represents you. The simple ‘vacation’ tee is also a favorite of mine.

3. A swimsuit featuring cutouts
Cutouts have emerged as a major trend this year, so it’s no surprise that swimsuit designers have embraced this style as well. As a mother of two in my early thirties, I feel it's time to embrace the one-piece, but I’m not quite ready to give up my two-pieces just yet. I love trendy cutout one-piece swimsuits that allow you to look stylish while still feeling conservative and appropriate.

4. A tassel beach bag
I can't discuss summer trends without mentioning tassels! From earrings to sandals, these adorable details are everywhere! I adore the various beach bag styles available to stylishly carry your sunscreen and essentials to the pool.

5. An adaptable basket bag
When traveling, it's important to minimize your handbag. I suggest bringing a neutral, trendy woven bag that complements every outfit in your luggage. I prefer the cross-body style that can be tucked away for added versatility. This bag served me well from the poolside to the dining area.

6. A fun statement sun hat
To conclude our list, let’s discuss sun safety. I always apply SPF 50 to my face, but it’s best to be cautious. A stylish sun hat like this allows you to skip frequent sunscreen applications, and with a cheerful phrase like ‘hello, sunshine,’ you’re sure to brighten everyone’s day.
