If you’re able to tick a destination off your bucket list this summer, having your style quotient on a point will make those travel highlights on Instagram even more eye-pleasing. While such a much-needed break might be a mood booster, it’s imperative to keep your travel style on point to make a statement on the go. Here’s a must-pack guide for summer destinations replete with clever deets whether you’re taking a tropical plunge, beach escape, exploring a quaint city, or going for a road trip.

Chic Shorts
