25+ Vacation Beauty Essentials Vogue Editors Swear By All Summer Long
Summer is upon us, and you know what that means—it's time to set your OOO and pack up your vacation beauty essentials in a chic carry-on. Whether you're jetting off to the Amalfi Coast or mastering the art of the city staycation, the key to breezing through the heat lies in a well-curated beauty bag. Vogue's editors are no strangers to a passport stamp (or a packed subway platform at 80 degrees), and they've fine-tuned their seasonal beauty arsenal accordingly. Vogue's Summer Beauty Essentials From featherweight skin tints that won't melt mid-tour to cream blushes that mimic the flush of a sun-drenched afternoon in Ibiza, our favorites are all about low-lift radiance. Scroll for 25+ summer beauty and vacation essentials, handpicked by Vouge's staffers. The Glow Getter 'My vacation essentials are centered around glow, obviously! To wit, I stock my carry-on with a few illuminating solutions for the body. Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc lends a lightweight, non-glittery sheen; as does Kopari's shimmering gel which also offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. For face, I rely on a sunscreen fluid—easily reapplied throughout the day. And what better way to round out the good vibes of a getaway than a sparkling fragrance? Tory Burch's Sublime utilizes a blend of rose, Osmanthus flower, and mandarin that has garnered me too many compliments to count.' —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen $33 AMAZON Tory Burch Sublime Eau de Parfum $125 NORDSTROM The Sun Drops 'My summer essential is always SPF—because I burn at the mere suggestion of sunlight. I love these Sun Drops because I can mix them right into my moisturizer or foundation without disrupting the rest of my routine.' —Lilah Ramzi, contributing editor Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops Face Sunscreen SPF 50 $160 NORDSTROM $160 BLUEMERCURY The No-Makeup Makeup Staples 'In keeping with my non-comedogenic routine, all of my complexion products must be acne-safe, especially when beating in the seasonal heat. Chanel's gel tint provides enough coverage without clogging pores or feeling heavy. Meanwhile, VB's concealer pen is perfect for spot coverage. My olive skin tans immediately upon stepping in the sun, so SaltyFace's tanning water keeps my face matching the rest of my body with a natural glow. Last but certainly not least, there's always a lip liner in my bag—this one stands the test of time through sweat, humidity, and drinking plenty of water. Best of all, my summer go-tos are great for every day, or tossed in my carry-on.' —Conçetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer Saltyface Tanning Water $44 GOOP Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil Extreme Waterproof Lip Liner $26 NORDSTROM The Barely-There Tinted Lip Balm 'I swear by this lip color in the summer. It's glossy—but not sticky—and provides the perfect hint of color for a great no-makeup makeup look, ' —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director: Saint Laurent Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick $42 NORDSTROM The Beachside Beauty Bag Picks 'One thing that's always in my summer bag is Rhode's pocket blush. I love putting it on when I go to the beach—it adds that sunburnt touch to my cheeks even if I'm lathering myself in sunscreen every 30 minutes! Also, my hair hack after coming out of the ocean is to not wash it and instead use the Heavenly Hair Milk from Emi Jay so that my waves dry without frizz.' —Irene Kim, production and editorial coordinator The Tinted SPF 'When it comes to face sunscreen, I'm a La-Roche Posay loyalist. It's a lightweight, mineral-based formula that won't leave your skin feeling cakey or greasy—a must for my fellow rosacea- and eczema-sufferers. Not only does it not leave the cursed white cast, but the tint helps even out my complexion. I've all but replaced foundation with my sunscreen—and I even get compliments on how good my skin looks.' —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted Sunscreen SPF 40+ $40 AMAZON The Flushed Cheeks and Full Brows 'Summer is the season of lightweight makeup and dewy skin and, like many others, I like to keep things minimal. My essentials are a glowy base, flushed cheeks, sculpted brows, and a glossy lip— just enough to feel pretty and put together with little effort. Saie Glowy Super Gel is the perfect product for a glistening, hydrated base—I wear it alone or use it as a primer for extra dew. My go-to brow gel is from Half Magic because it gives me long-lasting definition without leaving any residue. For blush, Saie's liquid formula is my favorite lately. Lastly, a berry lip balm from Laniege is truly never not in my summer bag for its high-shine, and perfect subtle pink tint.' —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app The Radiant Sunscreen 'I didn't realize how much I relied on this sunscreen until I ran out. I kept thinking I could skip restocking —until every morning felt off without it. Now that it's back, so is the glow everyone keeps asking about. Won't make that mistake again!' —Sache Taylor, special events director The Fail-Proof Eyeshadow and Blush 'My summer makeup routines are all about ease! Eyeshadow sticks and liquid blushes always make it into my vacation beauty bag because of their easy application. These from Ilia and Nars swipe on effortlessly and last in the heat and ocean air. Tried and tested!' —Alexandra Ditch, associate producer The Subtle Nail Color 'The new limited-edition Blanc Orage shade of Les Mains Hermès nail polish is exactly my summer beauty attitude! Easy, breezy, sheer, iridescent, and just one coat enhances my natural nail color but dries fast enough for me to move onto the next thing without debossing it in accidental fingerprints.' —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large Hermès Les Mains Hermès in Blanc Orage $66 HERMÈS The Minimalist Beauty Duo 'I prefer a less is more approach to makeup. A beauty editor friend recently gave me this Dior lip balm and I'm so into it—it gives a dewy, natural flush with a hint of glow that is neither shiny nor sparkly. This will be going everywhere with me this summer and beyond. I also swap tinted moisturizer for EltaMD's tinted SPF. It's a great daytime alternative for great sun protection with a little bit of coverage.' —Daisy Shaw-Ellis, jewelry director Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm $40 NORDSTROM Elta MD UV Clear Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 $43 AMAZON The Multipurpose Hair Oil 'Whether I'm tackling unruly flyaways in a slick back bun or smoothing out fluffy curls for a summer wedding, Kérastase hair oil is my best friend. There is truly no weather condition too hot, humid or sticky for this magical concoction.' —Florence O'Connor, associate content manager Kérastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original $62 AMAZON The DIY Freckles 'I just got back from a trip to London and the English country side—needless to say, these two summer beauty favorites of mine were in my carry-on luggage. For starters, I'm obsessed with Freck's pen to emphasize the freckles I already have (and create new ones!). To hold my DIY beauty marks and makeup in place, I've switched out my primer for Milk's illuminating primer to amp up my summer glow.' —Molly Barstein, audience development associate manager

Fashion's Piercing Obsession Is The Antidote To The Quiet Luxury Trend
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. I'm exhausted by the ' quiet luxury ' trend. The understated look, popularized by brands like The Row and Totême and cultural drivers like Succession, has dominated the fashion industry for nearly two years — causing the market to feel saturated with lackluster, albeit universally appealing, basics. As a result, those with a more alternative sense of style (like me) are left craving something edgier and grittier, like an asymmetrical silhouette, playful textile combinations, or some eye-catching adornments — something with a more distinctive personality. Thankfully, I'm not the only one looking to disrupt the khaki trench coat haze, and designers across the fashion industry are taking cues from the punk movement by refreshing a timeless motif that has also fortified me during trying times: a piercing. While my early experience with piercings was sneaking off to New York City at the age of 17 to visit a dubious smoke shop-turned-piercing parlor on St. Mark's, designers are proposing something different — using piercing-like designs to adorn every garment and accessory imaginable. Versions of metal horseshoes, captured bead hoops, and barbells can now be found on everything from shoes to bags, shirts to skirts, sunglasses to belts, and more. Whether you're simply a fan of the look or have real piercings of your own, incorporating them into fashion is a way to engage with the trend without committing to the trials and tribulations of body modification, pain, or aftercare. Can't (or don't want to) get your nipples pierced? Try the Skims push-up bra or the Mugler bodysuit with a faux set of embellishments. The very act of piercing is deliberate, combined with a bit of pain and determination, so using piercings in clothes and accessories creates a sense of impact. Punk subcultures have used piercings as a vehicle of self-expression and rejection of societally-imposed beauty standards since the '70s, and the 'other-ness' of having piercings created a sense of belonging among people who had them. While piercings today are more widespread and accepted by mainstream society than they used to be, utilizing them as adornments in fashion still seems to be a rebellion of sorts against the 'beige-wash of quiet luxury,' as Ssense womenswear buying director, Isla Lynch, puts it. 'The introduction of piercing and hardware to classic silhouettes has offered a subtle edge and individuality to dressing again,' she tells Refinery29. And while piercings are certainly not new to fashion, Tory Burch's Pierced Mules and Pierced Slingbacks, leather flats with metallic hardware at the toe, seemed to kick off the latest wave of embellishments. The designer debuted the styles as part of the brand's spring/summer 2023 collection, and they became so popular that Burch began adding the metal detail to nearly every shoe style — from sandals to slides, pumps, and wedges — before recently expanding to pierced tote bags. Celebs including Elizabeth Olsen, Mindy Kaling, Ella Emhoff, and Joey King have been spotted wearing various versions of the shoe; fashion editors everywhere endorsed the style. The style was a stark, refreshing change of pace for the brand, which was — until then — known for preppy, classic designs. Today, several other luxury labels are leading the charge. Lado Bokuchava has designed numerous shoes, bags, and garments adorned with silver hoops and horseshoes in recent seasons. Melitta Baumeister incorporated chunky piercings on various tops, boots, and gloves in both spring/summer and fall/winter 2025 collections, while Aknvas showed a pierced dress and matching scarf in its spring/summer 2025 collection. Among other accessory iterations, Déhanche designed a belt with dangling hoops, while brands like Dezi and Arcus sell sunglasses fitted with studs and barbells. Justine Clenquet, founder and designer at her namesake brand, has created a business around necklaces, bracelets, and earrings embellished with piercings of their own. 'I think the trend reflects a desire for more personal and expressive fashion,' Clenquet tells Refinery29. 'It's a way to play with identity,' she explains, but notes that the concept is far from new, given that 'brands like Vivienne Westwood [and] Jean Paul Gaultier have been doing it since the '90s.' Indeed, the punk influence has been alive and well in fashion for decades. Gaultier and Westwood were among the first major designers to incorporate body piercings into high fashion, a time when body modification was still considered somewhat subversive. Gaultier and Westwood sent models with facial piercings down the runway at their spring/summer 1994 and fall/winter 1993 shows, respectively. Shortly after, piercings became the focal point of John Galliano's 2004 collection of 'Hardcore' bags for Dior. Today, these vintage pieces are some of the more rare and expensive designs on the resale market. Dior's coveted Hardcore Pierced Saddle Bag is hard to come by and, depending on the condition, can easily cost upwards of $5,000 on resale sites. For comparison, a plain black saddle bag of the same calfskin fabrication from the same year can be found for as low as $1,750 on some sites. Even today, the pierced version of Balenciaga's Le Cagole bag is often priced at over $1,000 more than its plain black counterpart. As a perpetually gender-dysphoric nonbinary person, the piercing trend resonates with me in a way many other fashion fads don't. Throughout my life, piercings have helped me reclaim my body and gender. I had more than 15 by the time I graduated college, and still distinctly remember the euphoria I felt after seeing my eyebrow piercing for the first time — I felt like I finally recognized the reflection looking back at me in the mirror. While embedding metal into my clothes, shoes, and accessories doesn't quite achieve the same feeling, in some ways it has a similar effect: imbuing confidence in my self-image and instilling a feeling of protection, almost like armor. Metal is fortifying, and as I still mourn my body's rejection of some of my piercings over the years (RIP), at least my wardrobe can still bridge the gap and still make me feel at home in my fleeting visage with faux metallic accents. Body piercings are only semi-permanent after all, but a pierced purse is forever. Though the majority of people shopping this trend might not be in the midst of a lifelong battle against societally-imposed gender norms, the heavy metal look still speaks to its wearer's desire to subvert prescriptive aesthetics. While the impact of a pierced bag isn't quite the same as flesh-and-blood modification, they're both a means of self-expression and, in many cases, self-confidence.

No, a Tank Top Is Not Just a Tank Top
The humble white tank top is a classic layering garment—one of those staple pieces in your wardrobe that are constantly in the summer rotation. You can throw it on under a denim jacket or button-up shirt without virtually any thought. But that doesn't have to mean it's boring! Sure, it may not be as flashy as the latest It bag or a trendy scarf skirt, but if the 2025 spring runways are proof, a tank top can be more than just an undershirt. In fact, with the right styling and finishings (sequins! Prints!), it can even be an unexpected statement piece this season. Take all of the flashy tanks that popped up on the recent spring catwalks. At Rabanne, classic tank top silhouettes were covered in silvery chainmail—a signature material of the label. At Tory Burch, an equally-blingy approach was taken: The designer covered them in sparkly red or blue sequins. Instead of the customary white or black cotton, designers are rethinking the piece and making the case for it as more of an eye-catching focal point. Basic? More like the better 'B' word: Bold. Rabanne spring 2025 Photo: Umberto Fratini / Tory Burch spring 2025 Alessandro Viero / Celebrities and the street style set are on board with the summer approach. Back in February, remember when Timothée Chalamet hit the Berlin Film Festival in a pink Chrome Hearts tank top? He proved that with a fun color and designer logo plastered onto it, a tank can, in fact, be red carpet worthy. Ditto for South Korean model Hyun Ji Shin, who hit Fashion Month in a fringed tank top and wide-leg trousers—the street style photographers instantly went wild for the textured top.
