It’s that time of year again, when summer is ablaze and you are itching to get out of your sterile, overly air-conditioned cubicle to explore the lush and vast beauty of Mother Earth. More often than not, your current sartorial mood will predict where you venture off to. Feeling outdoorsy and want to wear hiking boots, a satchel, and a relaxed pair of shorts? Follow your look to the peaks of Montana. Or is your mood more luxe and lounge-y and European, with a hankering for saltwater, cliffside artists homes, and a pair of slip-on sandals? Well, book a plane ticket to Capri already! Either way, no matter where your destination is—you’ll arrive stylishly prepared. Here, see six stunning vacation spots, from Provence to Big Sur, and the equally chic looks to wear once you land.
