The Weekly Covet: T&C’s Ultimate Summer Packing List

“Picture this: me on Paros for a full week with a small carry on. How? Dresses like this, that take me from the beach and lunch at Blue Oyster to shopping in town after, watching the sunset with friends, and then dinner at Sigi Ikthios in Naoussa. I might change the necklace if I’m feeling ambitious.” —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

“The most ubiquitous men’s swimsuit of the season? KVRT STVFF’s toner swim brief, spotted everywhere currently enjoying a Brat Summer. Don’t hate it ’cause it’s popular. Just give in and get one of your own. I have.” —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

“A classic cover up to go from the beach to the shops to happy hour.” —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

“A raffia tote is a summer vacation essential. I love this one that adds little color and pattern to my otherwise mostly white linen wardrobe.” —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

“I never travel without a perfume and Diptyque has some of my favorites. Their summer perfume, Ilio, is an ode to the sunshine and the Mediterranean, with notes of prickly pear, bergamot and jasmine, making it a light and feminine scent to use after a long beach day!” —Kiara Mastropasqua, Fashion Assistant

“At the top of my summer packing list is a sarong! Pair it with a chic one-piece (cue Jade Swim or Matteau) to make a look that is stylish and acceptable for the beach, boardwalk, brunch and beyond. I especially love this one by Toteme as it’s graphic yet minimalist. It’s giving best of both worlds!” —Jaclyn Bloomfield, Fashion Editor

“Instead of traveling with a gazillion ointments and potions in your toiletries bag, consider instead an all-in-one skincare kit, like this one from Lines, the new beauty brand from New York dermatologist Dr. Marnie Nussbaum. There’s a lip serum for maximum hydration (vital after that long flight to Athens ), an anti-aging wrinkle pen, and a facial serum for that dewy look that follows a well-earned vacation.” — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

“I’m always searching for cute and practical rashguards and I’m happy to report that I found the one I’ll be bringing to my trip to Bermuda this summer.” —Chiun Lee, Deputy Design Director

“In my opinion there is no greater sartorial challenge than the hunt for the perfect pair of white jeans. From stretch, to cut, to rise, it has to be exactly right or else it just doesn’t work. I have found my Goldilocks zone at last in this pair from L’Agence. Not surprising since I practically live in their black jeans all winter.” —Leena Kim, Editor

“I find it very glamorous when people wear jewelry at the beach. I’d like to think that this necklace is the adult version of the puka necklace.” —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor

“There is no brand more fitting for the hotter months than Missoni. This crochet bikini set will not only make you the hottest siren around but will have you fishing for compliments from beachgoers everywhere. Trust me, I know.” —Mayra Morales, Fashion Assistant

“Shoes can take up an inordinate amount of space when you’re trying to keep your vacation carry-on only. These do double duty: they’re comfortable enough for long days of walking but can be dressed up when necessary.” —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director

“When I travel, I like to keep my jewelry minimal; namely, pieces I can wear every day, whether that’s by the pool or out to dinner. Sydney Evan’s dainty and beautiful bracelets and necklaces are perfect (on vacation or not).” —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor

“I’m heading to Sicily this weekend and I can think of no other dress for the occasion than this citrus-themed sundress. It’s light, bright, and fun. Can’t wait for the photo ops.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

“It’s going to be hot, hot, hot out in Italy, so you’ll find me on the beach or at pool most of the time. I’ll definitely be packing this adorable polka dot swimsuit from Peony.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

“These sunglasses have been my go-to for the perfect pop of color—an easy accent— all summer long. They’re comfy, cool, and will be coming with me when I head to the Hamptons, and when I head to the Olympics next week.”—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
