When it comes to holiday style, no one does it better than European women, who have all of the holiday-worthy cities of their continent at their fingertips. This summer, Europe’s fashionable It girls have been frolicking the shores of Spain, Italy, the French Riviera, and Greece, to name a few favourite spots. And of course, they packed the perfect wardrobe to suit their stylish destinations (think lots of linen, flat sandals, and raffia).
My Instagram feed is filled to the brim with holiday outfit photos lately, and while I could wallow in my FOMO, the more productive thing to do is to choose my current favourites for your future holiday outfit inspiration (or just day-to-day outfit inspiration). Below are 12 standout vacation looks European girls loved enough to post on your feed. Scroll to take in the outfit eye candy and shop the key pieces needed to re-create their stunning warm-weather ensembles.
