In other words, order them now to bring with you, and thank us later.
Pleats Please
A vibrant, graphic dress will take you from brunch to beach with ease. Thanks to its multi-coloured stripes, we’d call this one a keeper.
Zara Striped Dress with Pleats, $40 at zara.com.
Sunshine State
Great sunscreen is a travel must, always. Splurge on this multi-purpose face and body sunscreen with SPF 60. It’s not only fragrance- and paraben-free, but also water-resistant and has a nice matte finish. Plus, you won’t need to pack multiple tubes of lotion for your trip.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Fluid Lotion SPF 60, $29.50 at laroche-posay.ca.
Take Out
Did you know that H&M sells minimal-chic travel jars and bottles for your toiletries? Transfer some of your must-wear creams into these containers, and you’ll be both TSA-compliant and flush with precious luggage space for all those souvenirs!
H&M Travel Jar, $5 for two at hm.com.
Carry On
If you’re trying to travel light — and save on checked-baggage fees — this versatile bag weighs just over five pounds and can be used as a roller suitcase or a backpack, depending on how you feel.
MEC Rolling Continent Carry On Pack, $195 at mec.ca.
Easy Breezy
If you’re a fan of Uniqlo’s HeatTech range for snow sports and winter commutes, it’s time to get to know the Japanese retailer’s AIRism line. The affordable basics are designed to keep you feeling dry and comfortable in hot-weather climes.
Uniqlo AIRism Sleeveless Top, $15 at uniqlo.com.
Hat Trick
A raffia hat that’s cute enough to wear on and off the beach is always a good idea. We like that this made-in-Canada style is crafted from Madagascar raffia and rated UPF 50+ for bonus sun protection.
Tilley R2 Rebecca Hat, $120 at tilley.com.
Slide Show
A pair of sandals that you can rock on vacation — and to the office once you’re back at work! We say grab them now while they’re still available in your size.
