From Butter-Yellow Dresses to Jelly Flats, These Vacation Items Are Inspired by International Fashion Girls

If there's one thing I'm going to do on vacation, it's try to eat, drink, and dress like the locals do. I use traveling as a mental and physical escape, so I like to be fully immersed in the places I'm visiting. And thanks to Instagram and my favorite international fashion girls, I've curated the perfect vacation edit. Below, you'll find summer shopping lists for Mallorca, Copenhagen, Kauai, Cape Cod, and Paris, all inspired by the styles of the locals who live there. Each place has its own signature aesthetic: Copenhagen and Kauai are great destinations for playing up summer trends like jelly sandals and capri pants, while Paris and Cape Cod are more about classic styles like linen sets and raffia accessories. No matter your summer vacation plans, you'll want to shop the pieces below.

Mallorca

Ah, Mallorca. If you like picturesque coastal coves, endless boat days, and a crisp Tinto de Verano, this is the summer destination for you. My wardrobe for this trip would include fisherman trends like mesh flats, boater hats, and raffia totes. The playa tee below might be a little on the nose, but I'm embracing niche coastal style this summer.

Copenhagen

I'll be honest, my vacation wardrobes are usually more about comfort and function—but not when I go to Copenhagen. The CPH fashion set brings it every day, and I do my best to keep up. This is a city where you can lean into hyper-specific (and low-key controversial) trends. For summer 2025, I'd recommend jelly flats, capri pants, fish-motif accessories, and dare I say, bloomers for those extra hot Denmark days.

Kauai

If you want tropical vacation vibes and the wardrobe to match, Kauai is your spot. For this destination, lean into the bold colors inspired by Hawaii's native plants, buy a new swimsuit, and grab a pair of $10 rope sandals you can hike to the beach in. This vacation destination is all about relaxing by the water, adventuring in nature, and sipping Mai Tais.

Cape Cod

Three words that describe this Cape Cod packing list? Classic, coastal, and chic. New England nails the preppy, Americana aesthetic year-round, but come summer, everyone looks like they're the main character in an Elin Hildebrand novel. For this list, it's all about linen separates, woven accessories, boat shoes, and more.

You know we're all about French-girl style here at Who What Wear. The edit I've curated below encompasses the locals' love for matching sets, 90s-inspired accessories and footwear, and timeless silk scarves. Paris is a place where I want to look and feel put together, and the following items reflect that.
