Spring Break Essentials: Travel in Style with These 8 Consignment Treasures
Spring break is just around the corner, so it’s time to swap work for play and blazers for bikinis. Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical beach or embarking on a city adventure in your hometown, a few wardrobe tweaks and upgrades will take your spring break outfits to the next level.
If you’re already spending money on travel, hotels, airfare, and meals, you might be hesitant to spend more on a spring break wardrobe. But you don’t have to break the bank to look fabulous! At Current Boutique, we believe luxury shouldn’t come with a crazy price tag. So, get ready to pack your bag with these 8 spring break essentials you can find at a reasonable price from consignment stores like Current Boutique!
1. Sun-worshipper shades
Whether you’re jetsetting somewhere exotic or hanging out at the local pool, no spring break outfit is complete without a gorgeous pair of sunglasses. Shield your eyes from the sun’s glare while looking chic and put-together with a preloved pair of shades that turns heads. Current Boutique carries all your favorite iconic brands like Chanel and Gucci for a vintage vibe, or opt for something playful and colorful like Kate Spade or Tory Burch.
2. Breezy boho maxis
Maxi skirts and dresses are perfect for free-spirited vacation days. From exploring foreign cities to dancing under the stars in your backyard, a maxi skirt offers comfort and style for all your spring break adventures. A cropped top with sandals is perfect for a daytime look, or add a silk camisole and statement earrings for a night on the town.
Simplify and lighten your travel by packing a solid-color maxi skirt with different blouse options. You’ll get a bunch of different looks while carrying less in your suitcase.
3. Tote-ally chic bags
Say goodbye to bulky backpacks and hello to haute handbags, perfect for travel. Keep your essentials close with a stylish designer tote or leather crossbody. At Current Boutique, you can find a range of stunning handbags, from timeless classics to on-trend designs, so you can discover the perfect bag to follow you on your journeys this spring.
Travel Tip: Crossbodies are best for travel. They’re big enough to carry your daily essentials, and the crossbody strap helps minimize theft and pickpocketing.
4. Jetsetter accessories
The right accessories can take any outfit from basic to fabulous. You could wear the same outfit every day on vacation, but adding different sunglasses, shoes, and purses will make it feel fresh. Consider packing some of the following accessories to make your travels chicer:
- Protect your skin with a wide-brimmed hat
- Add a pop of color with a silk neck or hair scarf
- Keep your documents organized with a stylish travel wallet
- Tote your items around in a straw beach bag
- Layer jewelry like necklaces, bracelets, and rings for a touch of sparkle
- Cinch your flowing maxi dresses with a fashionable belt to create a feminine silhouette
5. Statement sandals
A pair of statement sandals is the most versatile shoe you can bring on vacation. Whether you’re hitting the beach, sightseeing in a city, or dining at a seaside café, the right pair of sandals can take you anywhere. Compared to heels or wedges, sandals are a more packable option for smaller travel bags. (But if you have the space, we also love a good espadrille wedge for spring break!)
Your feet deserve luxury sandals that look and feel great. Check out Current Boutique’s trendiest designer sandals here.
6. Playful rompers
Lighten your load by packing just one item that works as an entire outfit. Rompers and jumpsuits are easy to throw on, so you can spend more time by the pool and less time deciding what to wear. The right romper is a classic choice for spring break as it can easily transition from beach days to fancy dinners with the addition of the right accessories and shoes.
7. Lightweight kimono
Breezy, flowing kimonos are the perfect layering piece for hot and humid spring break climates. Throw a kimono over a swimsuit for extra coverage at the beach, or pair it with denim shorts and a loose blouse for a boho-chic vibe. Kimonos add dimension and interest to your outfit without adding extra bulk in your suitcase. At Current Boutique, you can find a kimono that speaks to your personality, whether an eye-catching color or a more subtle earth tone.
8. Patterned shorts
Add a dose of fun and personality to your wardrobe with trendy patterned shorts. A bold pattern injects energy and excitement into your look, helping to curate the perfect carefree vibe for exploring new destinations. Choose a pattern that suits your style and pair it with solid-colored shirts. With the right pair of patterned shorts, your styling possibilities are endless. Spring break is about breaking out of your routine and trying something new, so consider a new pattern like tropical florals, geometric prints, or gingham.
