Your flights are booked, your luggage is out, and you’re ready to go. If you’re jetting off to the sun, you might be going with just an overnight bag. Whether you’re a fan of a capsule closet or light to pack light, we all want to get the most out of our holiday wardrobe. At ANS, our versatile summer dresses are the perfect plus one for your next tropical vacation.

 We’re sharing four of our favourite spring and summer dresses that dress a spot in your cabin bag. These classic dresses can be dressed up or down with the right accessories to take your outfit effortlessly from day to night. Ready to start packing? Read on to discover our tropical vacation styling guide. 

1. Aphrodite – The Everyday Dress

The ‘Aphrodite’ dress is the one you want to wear when you don’t know where the day will take you. Start your day in white sneakers or leather sandals for a comfortable look before stepping into your favourite heels to take your look from day to night.

 

We love our Aphrodite dress as a transitional staple that is universally flattering and easy to wear in every season. Layer up with a shawl or cardigan once the evening chill sets in. If you’re feeling adventurous, switch out to a leather jacket for a bohemian feel. 

2. Luna – The Little Black Dress

No vacation planning is complete without packing a little black dress. Our ‘Luna’ dress is effortlessly chic and can take you from a walk along the beach to sipping cocktails at the hotel bar. This dress is the perfect choice for a minimalist as its bohemian-inspired tassels double as an accessory. You can style this dress as a beach cover up or a maxi dress for a day exploring the tourist sights.

 

Although it has an oversized fit, you can add a statement belt to help accentuate your curves and elevate this halter neck dress. 

3. Irene – The Date Night Dress

If you’re going on a romantic walk through a rose garden or celebrating with your significant other, the ‘Irene’ dress is a vacation date night staple. Its delicate floral pattern and ruffle silhouette are unapologetically feminine with a light colour palette that warms your complexion.

 

Keep your look light with white heels and a matching manicure. We love this dress for showing off a fresh tan by styling your hair in an up-do to highlight the halter neck collar and statement earrings. 

4. Kimaya – The Evening Dress

Your vacation wardrobe needs an elegant evening dress. Our ‘Kimaya’ is a feminine silhouette ideal for a wedding guest look or a dinner at a 5-star restaurant. Let your dress do the talking by styling with minimalistic accessories, choosing the metal tone that works best with your complexion.

 

 

Slip into a pair of nude stilettoes to elongate your legs, or switch to sandals for a more comfortable look. Our Kimaya dress is the perfect way to experiment with your hair, whether you want to add a classic hair comb or a pearl clip for a sophisticated look.
