Pro Tip:
Choose a swim cover-up, like our terry Goldie jacket or Makua dress, that works both on and off the beach—you'll go from sand to street in style. Just change up the look with a bold lip and accessories, like jewelry or a great headband. Consider the latter our insider intel: You won't have to worry about a post-swim do.

The Slopes
Pro Tip:
One quick tip to maximize your wardrobe when you have limited luggage space is to build on a great pair of jeans. You can dress them up, dress them down—plus, they make a great canvas you can wear again and again. Let the tops sing—like our Ayala intarsia pullover, our cozy yet chic take on the holiday sweater. And, of course, let the dickey jacket be your MVP—you'll get countless looks by swapping out the dickeys.

The Art of Packing: Top 3 Tips from the Veronicas
1. Some people prefer to fold their clothes; others swear by rolling to save space. We like both. Fold heavier items like jeans and sweaters and save the thinner garments for the roll-up treatment (which also minimizes wrinkles).
2. Pack your clothes inside out. You'll thank us, if something spills in your suitcase.
3. Keep toiletries and any liquids near the top of your suitcase. In case you're subjected to a customs or TSA search, the agents won't have to dig and undo all your brilliant packing.
