By Claire MiddlemistMarch 05, 2024

Hi! This month we're releasing a special edition of The Beach Read by Bask. For Volume 7 we'll be giving you our best fashion tips and recommendations for the perfect vacation with help from our friend and stylist, Bex Jahangeri (@fullystyledstudios). If you’re new here, this is our monthly digest of our favorite things around the world and the world wide web. Let’s get into it.

We're Having a Wet, Hot, Italian Summer

Going to Milan, Lake Como, and Portofino and these are some of my summer Euro travel fashion must-haves:

Style in Milan is sensible and elegant. Wear this Wilfred Stucco Vest in black with the matching Riviera Skirt and style it with bold, chunky earrings like these Jennifer Zeuner Perla Earrings. Finish your chic dinner look with black heels like these Larroude Annie Heeled Sandals and a Loro Piana L19 bag if you can get your hands on one! (DM Bex to Source.)

The Enza Costa Everywhere Pant is the perfect elevated casual daytime pant for sightseeing, shopping, or even just relaxing on the Lake. Pair them with a flat sandal, I recommend the Hermes Oran Sandal in white. These sandals are a chic touch to a swim look, a cute daytime look and even pair well with skirts and dresses for the evening when you need flats. They are the best summer sandal to travel with that can take you from day to night. Style the pants with a simple Toteme tank for a super casual look or opt for the Wilfred Stucco Vest in white for an afternoon apertivo on the lake.

For a romantic night out I recommend checking out Miss Circle's Lace Collection. I love the Veronica Black Lace Maxi Dress! The key to successfully pulling off this nudist-style dress is the appropriate underwear. The Full Brief by Skims is perfect. Style this look with your same black heels and purse.

Get active in the Alala Serena Dress and enjoy a friendly match at Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

Soak up the sun at Bagni Fiore, Parragi, in the Carolina K Swim. The mixed bouquet print and iconic high-waisted cut on the Carmel bikini set go perfectly with the matching Gio skirt.

Other Travel Essentials

The DeMillier New York Tote - this is a great travel tote and beach/shopping bag that's large enough to hold your essentials and then some. The raffia screams summer and this taupe color will pair well with most of your neutrals.

Apple air tags so I can have peace of mind and keep track of my luggage.

A Portable Steamer is a must!

Sky Case Travel Bottle Set for my shampoo and conditioner.

Hermesistible, Infused Care Oil This lip oil is not only moisturizing and nourishing to your lips, it has a gorgeous saturated color and smells amazing. I love the color Rouge Amarelle for an instant juicy pout.
