As the winter season comes to a close, long, sun-kissed summer days are top of mind. If you're beating the winter blues by jetting somewhere warmer, last year's shorts and flip flops aren't going to cut it for your best beach 'fit. Trade in your winter accessories for straw hats and sunnies. Top everything off with a floral maxi dress before hitting the sand. Peep these essentials to kickstart your next tropical vacation packing – and don't forget your sunscreen!
