When packing for Palm Heights, I always start with pieces that make a statement and are fun to wear. It’s a destination where color, shape and texture naturally take the lead, where wearing the clothes is part of the experience. I’m drawn to statement silhouettes and bright colors.
For this trip, that meant printed silk separates, fluid dresses, and swim-centric looks that read as part of an outfit, rather than something to be worn only by the water. A Pucci silk skirt to wear over a swimsuit for lunch, wide-legged linen-blend pants for afternoon comfort, a roomy beach bag to take anywhere, and jewelry to add contrast and texture as day turns to night.
Work from a loose framework rather than packing for every possible scenario. This is an editing method that will keep your suitcase versatile, playful, and ready for real-life day-to-day developments.
