The Ultimate Spring Break Packing List
Curated fashion and beauty essentials for your next voyage.
With fashion month officially over, our eyes are set on some much-needed rest and relaxation. Whether you’re planning a three-day getaway or a lengthy foreign excursion, spring travels are already upon us. Equally important as your destination is what you bring to it. The ideal vacation attire should be effortless, versatile, and ideally, re-worn back at home—a tall order for some strappy sandals. Plus, there's the change in climate, and perhaps worse—the airplane air. As we know all too well, these can wreak havoc on hair and skin. How to prepare? If you’re unsure where to begin or simply searching for inspiration, let L’OFFICIEL make your life a little easier. From fashion to beauty, continue along for our spring break packing essentials.
