Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors' curation of the must-know items they can't stop thinking about.
Summer is just a few weeks away, and traveling is the only thing on my mind. I'm headed on a two-week trip to Europe, and even though I'm not leaving for another month, I've already started planning every outfit I'll be wearing. I'm picturing myself wandering cobblestone streets in breezy linen sets; spending fun, sun-soaked afternoons on the beach in colorful swimwear; and sipping icy rosé at a beach club in a crochet cover-up.
This means, of course, that I have to replenish my vacation wardrobe. But rather than panic-buying random pieces the week before takeoff and stuffing everything in my suitcase, I'm approaching this trip a little differently. I'm determined to keep my packing list versatile, chic, and carry-on friendly, so I've carefully curated a lineup of elevated staples I'll continue to wear when I'm back home. Here are the 45 essentials from Quince, Shopbop, Levi's®, and more that will carry me through my Euro summer in style. Bon voyage!
