Going on Vacation? Let These Summer Movies Be Your Style Inspiration

Hello, summer! If you’re anything like us, you’re starting to think about planning a major getaway again. International travel may still be tricky, as many borders are still closed, but travelling domestically is allowed and safe if you’re fully vaccinated. Only problem? Taking a vacation means you need a suitable wardrobe to go with it—and after a year of not going anywhere, it can be overwhelming to think about putting cute looks together (especially when there’s pressure to get a cute photo for the ’gram). But fear not: Vogue is looking to stylish summer movies for outfit inspiration.

Whether you’re road-tripping it across the country, or simply heading to the beach for the weekend, these fashion-forward flicks offer tons of summer outfit inspiration. A movie like Girls Trip, for instance, captures the vibrant, eclectic style that a jaunt to New Orleans is all about. Visiting the city without a colorful dress would be like sitting out on a beignet. If a low-key getaway is more your style, the beachy looks in The Talented Mr. Ripley or Blue Crush show how to dress up your bikini (in the former, Gwyneth Paltrow pairs her pink bikini top with a floral skirt and crisp white shirt). 

If driving across the nation is more your summer vibe, simply look to Crossroads. Britney Spears wears many on-the-go looks that are both cute and Y2K-inspired (that look is very in now, you know—low-rise jeans, cowboy hats, tinted shades, and all). Whatever your summer plans are, consider these movies the perfect moodboard to look to when you’re packing—because half the fun of a trip is capturing content and looking good doing it, no?
