  • 1 pair of wide-leg linen pants
  • 1 lightweight cardigan or kimono (for evening, AC, or flights)
  • 1 pair of flat sandals that walk well

The 10+ Outfits

  • Swimsuit + shorts + sandals = beach
  • White top + linen pants + sandals = day exploring
  • Color top + shorts + sandals = casual lunch
  • Dress + sandals = dinner
  • Dress + cardigan = cool evening

Packing Tips
