Vacation Style Guide: Tropical

Make your tropical vacation a stylish one with a stand-out frock like this Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Maxi Dress. Bold hues are in command this season and what better way to get in on the trend than with a pop of color. A tiered ruffle bodice and sand-grazing skirt make this maxi the perfect paradise style pick.

While flip flops tend to rule the beach, they're not the only choice for beach footwear. Slip into a pair of stylish flat sandals like the Zicafoose Sandal from Aldo. This zip-back sandal has a slight heel and plaited detailing for the perfect amount of beach-chic style.

Nothing says fun-under-the-sun like a stylish wide-brimmed floppy hat! The must-have head accessory for the season, woven floppy hats are synonymous with tropical style. Their wide-brim makes them perfect for lounging on the beach as it will protect your face and ears from the damaging rays of the sun.

What's a beach outfit without a pair of larger-than-life shades? Round sunglasses are en vogue this season, so make sure you get yourself a pair to keep the sun out of your eyes (or to go incognito when you're island hopping!)

How about adding a statement jewelry piece to your tropical getaway look? This Lucite Bangle Bracelet Set will add the perfect amount of color to your look. Add some hammered gold disc earrings to your getup and you'll be ready to take on the island nightlife in style!

Last, but certainly not least, your tropical paradise escape will not be complete without a handy-dandy carryall. A raffia tote, like this one, will hold your essentials - which should include sunscreen, shades, and water bottle - and leave enough room to store the little souvenirs you pick up on your daily island sight-seeing.
