Escaping the cold for a few days? Whether you're headed somewhere tropical, planning a resort getaway, or simply chasing a little sunshine, packing for warm weather is all about versatile pieces that can take you from the water to wherever the day takes you.
And if we're being honest, the best part of packing for a warm-weather trip is getting to build your vacation wardrobe around swimwear.
Here’s what we’d pack.
1. 2–3 Swimsuits You Love
Your swimsuit is going to be one of the hardest-working pieces in your suitcase, so bring a few options. Having multiple suits also means you can rotate them throughout your trip instead of putting on a damp swimsuit every morning. Pack a combination of styles depending on what makes you feel your best:
A classic one-piece for pool days, swimming, and easy styling. You'll love the Cabo One Piece.
A tankini when you want a little more coverage without sacrificing style. Check out the Palma Tankini.
A bikini for mixing and matching or getting a little more sun. The Eleanor Bikini is a top pick.
A suit in a neutral color that works with everything. The Lucia One Piece is a staple.
A statement print for when you want to have a little fun. You'll love the Marina Bikini.
2. A Swim Skirt or Bottom With More Coverage
If you're planning to spend long days walking around a resort, chasing kids, playing beach games, or going from the pool to lunch, a swim bottom with more coverage can be a game changer.
Look for styles that give you the coverage you want while still feeling cute and comfortable.
The Savannah Shorts or Daisy Swim Skirt are customer favorites.
3. A Versatile Cover-Up
A great cover-up can completely change how you wear your swimwear. Look for pieces that can easily go from beach → lunch → shopping → sunset drinks without requiring a full outfit change. The best cover-ups aren't just something you throw on when you're done swimming, they become part of the outfit.
Try: a breezy button-down, flowy cover-up dress, wide-leg pants, matching cover-up set, or a sarong wrap.

4. Beach Accessories
Once the swimwear is covered, fill in the little things that make a beach day better:
- Oversized sunglasses
- A sun hat
- Beach tote
- Waterproof phone pouch
- Reusable water bottle
- Hair clips or ties
- SPF lip balm
- Sunscreen
The easiest way to pack for a warm-weather getaway? Start with your swimwear and build from there. Choose suits you feel comfortable and confident in, then add cover-ups and everyday pieces that can be mixed and matched throughout your trip.
Because when you're somewhere warm, your swimsuit isn't just something you wear to the pool. It's the foundation of your vacation wardrobe.
