Southwestern Road Trip

If the Southwest is calling your name, take a page from the boho book. Lightweight pieces will bring an added cool factor to your desert-approved ensembles. Tie a chambray around your waist during the day, then layer it on once the sun sets—it’s going to get chilly!

Stylist Tip: Bring a large tote bag to pack plenty of water for extra hydration and snacks, like jerky. Your tote will also give you room to pack an oversized scarf to help brave those cooler nights!

Stylist Tip: A baseball cap is a functional and fashionable staple, no matter the destination! Wear it for an afternoon hike, then straight to lunch. Look for a summer-friendly color and skip the team loyalty for a casual-chic look.
