FASHION MUST-HAVES
Fashion must-haves if you are traveling to The Amalfi Coast and/or Italy this summer, and we actually know what we are talking about...
You may have found us from ‘Travel TikTok’, ‘Instagram Explore’, or our founder and CEO @SarahLThompson, but either way, we are glad you have stumbled across Luxama Travel! We are a luxury vacation agency that curates bespoke high-touch vacations for our clients along the Amalfi Coast, Italy, and branching out to other European destinations!
Maybe you’re similar to us, in that one of your 2024 visions is to elevate your look and style! If that sounds like you...keep reading for some tips!
1: Cotton/Linen Clothes
Number one, and probably most important, cotton and linen clothes. They are super refreshing. They will keep you cool and stylish in the summer heat. And trust us when we say, it will be the most comfortable thing you wear your entire vacation. If you don’t have any cotton or linen clothes at home, don’t worry...The Amalfi Coast is fully stocked! Some of our favorites are:
Luisa Positano: https://luisapositano.it/,
CB Positano: https://www.cbmadeinitaly.com/product-category/woman/flats/positano-cotton/,
La Bottega di Brunella: https://www.labottegadibrunella.it/en/,
Y’AM Capri: https://yamcapri.it/gb/,
The Pink Closet in Palazzo Avino: https://shop.thepinkcloset.com/pages/avino,
Antica Sartoria: https://anticasartoriapositano.it/en/.
One last honorary mention, House of CB. They are based in London, but they are STUNNING:https://app.houseofcb.com.
2: Swimwear
Of course along The Amalfi Coast where beach clubs are super popular and boat tours are huge, you need a good bikini. Some of our local favorites are:
Yamamay in Sorrento: www.yamamay.com/it_en/,
but you can also find some really nice stuff in Carmela Celentano (which btw has ‘Miss Bikini’ bathing suits): www.carmelacelentano.it/en/,
then our personal favorite, The Coast Capri: www.thecoastcapri.com/en/.
Another bikini brand we LOVE, is Bydee...they’re actually an Australian brand but they have some super colorful bathing suits that are perfect fora European Vacation: us.bydeeaus.com
3: Scarfs
These are the secret to having multiple outfits, without actually having multiple outfits. You can not only wear different scarfs, but you can wear them in so many different ways. Another benefit, is that they are super lightweight and easy to travel with. The best part is, you can find them at nearly any store alongThe Amalfi Coast.
But if you want to pack them with you, before you touch down in Italy, Zara: www.zara.com/us/ and Anthropologie have some really cute ones: www.anthropologie.com
4: Sunglasses
Sunglasses can literally make or break the entire vibe of an outfit...and trust us when we tell you, we’ve been there...This means finding sunglasses that compliment your face structure and look is HUGE! They are also a great accessory that is super lightweight and easy to pack.
Some brands to check out:
Persol: www.persol.com/usa
Vehla: vehlaeyewear.com/collections/shop-all
5: Sandals
Last, but certainly not least, bring cute sandals. The Amalfi Coast is super popular for leather sandals, and they’re all custom made! You get to choose the design, the strap, and of course the size. And, eventually, when you wear them in they will last you forever and still be super comfortable. Some of our favorites are: Arte Artigiana in Sorrento:www.sandaliarteartigiana.com and Balduccelli in Massa Lubrense & Sorrento: www.balduccellisandali.it.
A little fun fact, Balduccelli has been in business for over 80 years and make the most beautiful sandals!
We should probably also mention, heels are a hard no in The Amalfi Coast...So instead of heels, wear some sparkly sandals as heels when you go out in the evening! Because, you do not want to be walking up and down the Positano steps in stilettos.
