My OOO Is Set—These Under-$200 Finds Are Coming on Vacation With Me
The key? Versatility.
I caught the travel bug this summer; every time I tell myself I'm ready to settle down, another flight somehow gets booked. With Spain next on my itinerary, I've been thinking less about what to pack for the sake of it—I tend to overdo it—and more about the pieces that actually earn a spot in my suitcase. The key is versatility: pieces that work just as well wandering cities as they do stretched out on a beach. And there’s no better time to find them than sale season.
While you shop, remember: summer style is all about effortless pieces that shine in the details. Airy cotton tops, nautical stripes, and relaxed silhouettes are everywhere, while unexpected pops of color—from butter yellow to cherry red—are replacing predictable neutrals. I’m also drawn to pieces that keep things casual without feeling predictable, with oversized Bermuda shorts and crisp white tanks becoming my go-to uniform.
Whether you're planning a Mediterranean escape, a tropical getaway, or simply dressing like you're on holiday, I've combed through some of the season's best sales right now and found something for every kind of traveler. Below, shop the under-$200 pieces worth making it on your vacation mood board, no matter where your summer takes you.
