Heading somewhere warm? Once your flights are booked and your itinerary is planned, it’s time to go shopping (naturally). While some vacation spots are fairly low-key—even the Ritz-Carlton in Hawaii has a “resort casual” dress code—others might require a bit more fuss. With enough planning, you’ll have enough vacation outfit ideas to last you your entire trip and then some.

The trick is to bring a few key pieces—a silk midi skirt, some slipdresses, and a couple blazers—from which you can make a little vacation capsule wardrobe. If you’re traveling somewhere tropical, it’s easy to lean on flowy dresses and versatile, humidity-friendly separates that you can mix and match throughout the trip. Similarly, you can take notes from the fashion set and repurpose bathing suit tops and cover-ups as makeshift shirts and dresses, respectively. Even if your destination gets cool at night, we have area few ideas to keep you from getting chilly during your sunset beach strolls.

Ahead, 17 no-fail vacation outfits to pack for your next jet-set adventure.
