5 Things You Will Probably Forget to Pack for Spring Break

With spring break just a short few weeks away, it’s time to start daydreaming, counting down the days and making note of everything you might need for your week away. If you haven’t already started the parade of online shopping, now is definitely the time so you can avoid paying extra for express shipping.

Unfortunately, during the excitement of anticipating our spring break adventures, we tend to forget some essential items. Here are the five fashion items you might forget when packing for your spring break vacay.

Sun Hat

Let’s be honest—we all have bad hair days. And when you’re traveling, you don’t have the luxury of all your usual hair products to save the day. Packing a sun hat will be your savior on those unfortunate days when your hair just doesn’t want to corporate.

Not your average sunglasses

We all have our go-to sunglasses, the ones we know will always look good. But, we also already have a thousand pictures in them. Take a risk on this vacation by trying out a new style. This month, we have been loving tiny rectangle glasses. Despite not always being practical, they are very trendy and will guarantee quality Instagram content.

A little black dress

You never truly know what your vacation will have in store for you. Packing a little black dress for your spring break vacay provides a very versatile option no matter what’s on your agenda. For a spontaneous night out, pair it with strappy heels and a leather jacket, or for an impromptu day trip, pair it with sneakers and a fanny pack. No matter the occasion, your LBD has got you covered.

Statement belt

If it was a perfect world, we would be able to transport our entire closet on vacation with us. But reality leaves us with the struggle of sitting on top of our luggage while our friend is trying to zip it closed. Luckily, accessories such as a fun statement belts are a great way to incorporate versatile style options into your spring break wardrobe without taking up too much packing space. This month, we have been loving animal print statement belts.

Versatile Cross Body Bag

This may seem like an obvious item to pack, but arriving at your hotel only to realize your carry-on is the only bag you brought isn’t unheard of. Your airplane tote is simply no fun to carry around all day while exploring a new place. Thus, you need something smaller and more compact to carry your daily essentials. It also offers you a day-to-night option, as you can wear it during the day but also dress it up for a nice dinner out. 

So, let this be your warning. Don’t forget these five essential items when packing for your spring break trip! Show us your spring break adventures by tagging us @theedgemag to be featured.
