Whether you’re planning an island getaway or a desert sand adventure, having a reliable packing list guarantees that no space in your luggage goes to waste. To calculate the perfect vacation packing formula, we turned to supermodel Elsa Hosk during Revolve Around the World’s 10th anniversary. The 35-year-old has been escaping the clutches of winter this year with sun-filled trips to Singapore, Sydney, and Miami. But no matter the destination on her boarding pass, there are always a handful of reliable vacation essentials inside of her luggage. Think easy-to-throw-on dresses, swimsuits that can double as tops, and comfy cool sneakers that look and feel great.
Ahead, Hosk reveals the supermodel-way to ensure every outfit is undeniably chic and—more importantly—functional for any sunny activity on the itinerary. To make your next trip a sartorial success, read on for Hosk’s tried-and-true packing list for sunny escapes.

The One-and-Done Dress + Ballet Flat

The Minimalist Swimsuit
“Second, would be a simple bathing suit—like a black one piece with a simple cut that you could wear to the beach, but also with a loose jean as a bodysuit.”
The Bucket Hat
“Third: a hat. I prefer a bucket hat either in crochet or canvas to throw on any look to protect you from the sun.”
The Magical Mini + Kitten Heel
“Fourth, would be a mini dress for a night out! Styled with a comfy heeled sandal, I love ones by Saint Laurent or The Row.”

The Versatile Walking Shoe
“Fifth: a good walking shoe! Adidas, New Balance, or Asics make great sneakers for walking
around and enjoying the city.”
The Trusted Luggage
“Lastly, I love my friend Shay’s luggage brand Béis. They make travel so easy with the best bags and organizers. For beauty products, I have four vintage Chanel beauty cases in different colors for different uses. One for skincare, one for supplements, one for hair and one for makeup!”
