Euro summer is in full effect. But before you can sip rosé on rooftops or wander around world-class museums, you need to pack. And with minimal suitcase space, you'll have to be strategic.
We're talking sundresses breezy enough for hot summer days, trusty shoes that can survive cobblestone streets and 20K steps, and chic shoulder bags that transition from day to night. Luckily, we put together a list of 10 editor-approved summer staples that'll get you through your trip.
- Versatile Pants That Go With Everything: Willit Women's Linen Pants

From the Amalfi Coast to the south of France and everywhere in between, a European summer calls for effortlessly stylish pieces that you can easily mix and match.
Opt for neutrals hues and timeless basics with endless styling possibilities, lightweight linen pieces that'll keep you cool during midday strolls, and a go-to jacket you can reach for on chilly European nights.
Packing for a Euro girl summer just got a whole lot easier. Shop 10 fashion staples that deserve a spot in your suitcase.
A Base Tank:
Intimissimi Superior Cotton Racer Back Tank Top
This tank is that girl—it pairs with everything from breezy linen pants to flirty skirts and lived-in cutoffs. Lightweight, layer-friendly, and made for heatwave days.
The Perfect Linen Trousers:
Willit Women's Linen Pants
Reviewers are obsessed with how these linen pants fit, feel, and don’t lose their shape even in the heat. The stretchy waist and breezy fabric make them an easy yes for summer plans.
A Pair of Comfy Sneakers:
Madewell Asics Skyhand OG Sneakers
I lived in sneakers like these while in London, perfect with floaty dresses, midi skirts, and basically anything in your suitcase. They nail that rare combo of looking cute and saving your feet when you're hitting 20k steps on cobblestones and endless stairs.
An Effortless Matching Set:
EXLURA Women's Sleeveless Tank 2 Piece Outfit
A swingy top with breezy drawstring shorts is the kind of effortless combo that makes getting dressed feel fun again. Made from 100% cotton, this striped set comes in colors like green, coffee, orange, and classic blue, and it holds up beautifully wash after wash.
A Sleek & Chic Silk Scarf:
By Anthropologie Satin Hair Scarves, Set of 2
I love adding a pop of color to my neutral summer fits, and recently I've been wearing this chic, satin scarf tied around my purse, my neck, or as a bandana.
Statement Maxi Dress:
A&F Bra-Free Dylan Midi Dress
I'd mark this special mention from Abercrombie as my favorite summer dress of the year. It comes in petite-friendly sizes, hits perfectly at your ankles, and has a built-in bra so there's one less thing to worry about. Trust that once you make the splurge, you'll never want to take it off.
Everyday Hoops:
Nordstrom Demi Fine Molten Hoop Earrings
A simple stack of little gold hoops are always a great touch to any flowy fit you're planning to wear. Just imagine this three-piece sest, paired with a flower behind your ear (divine).
Aperitivo-Ready Sandals:
Rihero Women's Dressy Flat Sandals
You can't go traveling without a comfy slide, and these budget-friendly dupes are exactly the style you need. They come in several neutral or bold colors and pair perfectly with any vacation fit.
Trusty, Waterproof Trench Coat:
Gap Relaxed Cropped Trench Coat
Available in khaki or navy blue, this on-trend cropped trench will come in handy when seaside breezes or chilly nights call for an extra layer. A twill blend and relaxed fit give any outfit an effortless polish.
A Carry-All Handbag:
JW PEI Women's Yara Shoulder Bag
A minimalist fashion staple that definitely deserves a spot in your year-round capsule wardrobe, this mid-sized shoulder bag that pairs with every outfit and is roomy enough for sight-seeing essentials. The versatile pick easily transitions from day to night.
