The BlackBook Travel Edit
The Pieces We Pack Every Time
Some vacation pieces earn their place in your suitcase trip after trip. They are easy to style, work for more than one occasion, and make getting dressed feel effortless—even when you are living out of a carry-on.
Our current travel edit balances the best of both worlds: timeless staples you will pack for years, bold prints that instantly feel like vacation, and standout swim that deserves a moment of its own.
The Denim Essential
The Parker Short
Every vacation wardrobe needs a good pair of loose denim shorts, and the Parker Short is one of those pieces we always make room for.
The relaxed fit gives you that effortless, worn-in look you want on vacation while still being easy to dress up. Throw them over your swimsuit, pair them with an oversized button-down, or style them with a fitted top for dinner.
Why we pack it: It goes with everything and works for nearly every plan on your itinerary.

The Rio Tunic
A versatile linen shirt is a true vacation staple, and the Rio Tunic checks every box.
Wear it open over your bikini as a cover-up, button it up with denim shorts, or layer it over a simple outfit for dinner. It is polished enough to wear beyond the beach while still feeling relaxed and effortless.
Why we pack it: One piece, endless outfit possibilities.

The Swim We Are Loving Right Now
We like to pack a mix of swim: one bold print, one timeless neutral, and one suit that feels like the moment. These are the bikinis currently making our vacation shortlist.
The Beaded Ingrid Triangle + Tie Side Ginger
For the trip that calls for something playful, the Beaded Ingrid set brings the fun. The classic triangle-and-tie-side silhouette is finished with beaded detailing, giving an iconic vacation shape a more special feel.
This is the bikini we reach for when we want the swimsuit to be the outfit. Add the Parker Short, simple jewelry, and sandals, and you are ready to go from the beach to wherever the afternoon takes you.
Why we pack it: It is fun, feminine, and made to be noticed.
Shop the SetIndah in Kopi Tiger
Every suitcase deserves one bold print, and Indah’s Kopi Tiger is currently having a major moment.
The statement print instantly brings energy to your swim rotation and looks just as good worn alone as it does styled under an open linen shirt. This is not the suit that blends into the background—and that is exactly why we love it.
Why we pack it: It delivers the statement without needing much styling.
Shop Kopi TigerThe Natalia Top + Carter Bottom in Coffee
For something timeless, flattering, and easy to return to every vacation, we love the Natalia Top and Carter Bottom in Coffee.

Why we pack it: It is flattering, timeless, and endlessly wearable.
The Jessica Ring Top + Jones Ring Bottom in Shimmer
Sometimes you want a timeless suit with a little more impact. The Jessica Ring Top and Jones Ring Bottom bring a modern silhouette, signature ring details, and a shimmer finish that catches the light.
It feels elevated without being difficult to wear, making it perfect for golden-hour swims, pool days, and vacations that call for something special.
Why we pack it: It is a classic neutral with just enough shine.
The Final Packing List
Pack Smarter, Wear Everything
The best vacation wardrobe is not necessarily the biggest one. It is made up of pieces that work together and can be styled more than one way.
Start with the Parker Short and Rio Tunic as your everyday foundation. Add a bold printed bikini for the days you want to make a statement, a timeless neutral for effortless wear, and a shimmer set for the moments that call for something special.
