Packing for vacation can be a chore, especially if you’re only carrying a carry-on suitcase and a small duffel bag — which is all I had with me for my 18-day trip last summer.
Along with my passport and adapters, cute and comfortable clothes were a high priority on my European packing list. I scoured Amazon’s fashion section for styles that are easy to mix and match (and fit in my luggage), and many of the featured picks come from The Drop, which is one of my favorite brands to shop for trendy and affordable pieces.
From a small but roomy purse to a crochet swimsuit cover-up, here are seven Amazon essentials I picked up (plus how I styled a few!) that you can grab for your next trip starting at just $14.

Raincoat High-waisted satin midi skirt

My destination was extremely hot, so light and airy styles were a must. And since I love a good midi skirt, I ordered this one in golden satin. The material was super soft and light, making it the first thing I reached for when we arrived. With some strategic packing (I laid the skirt flat as the last layer in the suitcase), it didn’t wrinkle too much.
I also took out my JW Pei bag on the trip, the bag worn by Selena Gomez. It is surprisingly roomy considering its small silhouette. It was also easy to pack — since the handle is structured, I could easily stuff my socks in between it.

Amazon Essentials Linen Blend Shorts, $24 (Save 5%)

I never traveled without my favorite linen shorts, which have been in my closet for two summers. I wore them when the temperatures were lower than ideal, and they were also great for traveling by ferry to the islands. The shorts have a relaxed fit and a 5 inch inseam, so they’re never too short or uncomfortable.
Drop Greta Fitted Square Neck Halter Top, $14 (Save 54%)

Buy on Amazon $30 $14
I’m a big fan of halter tops and square necklines, and this top from The Drop has both. Although it has a more cropped silhouette, it was perfect to wear with my high-waisted linen pants for a cute and comfortable look for sightseeing. I also have it in black.
Some of my other must-haves include this linen cut-out midi dress which was perfect to pair with these white sandals which worked surprisingly well on my feet when walking short distances.
