Outfits for vacation in mexico

This is the time of year when you can go to a Mexican beach vacation and have the best time of your life. You’ll be able to relax, get some sun, and just enjoy yourself.

Mexico has been a popular destination for vacationers for years and is known for being one of the most beautiful places in the world. It has a warm climate, which makes it an ideal place to relax on the beach or go snorkeling, swimming or scuba diving. Mexico also has some of the best food in the world and is known for its tequila.

The town of Mexico Beach has a population of 1,700 people and it is located on 30 miles of Gulf Coast beaches in Northwest Florida. The town has over 20 miles of beautiful white sand beaches with emerald green waters. This area is known as “America’s Emerald Coast” because it has some of the finest beaches in the United States.

If you want to get away from it all, Mexico beach vacations are the way to go. The beaches of Mexico are some of the most beautiful in the world, with soft white sand and clear blue water that’s just perfect for swimming or snorkeling. If you’re looking for a place that’s quiet and relaxing, Mexico beach vacations are hard to beat.

Outfits for vacation in mexico

1. Summer Dresses

When you’re planning your outfits for Mexico, pack one or two lightweight summer dresses. Not only will these keep you cool during the day, but some restaurants (especially at resorts) have a dress code for dinner. Go for wrinkle-resistant fabrics, because honestly, who’s going to iron anything when they’re on vacation in Mexico? (Definitely not me!)

2. Skort

The skort has made a come-back and I honestly couldn’t be happier! I’ve been a fan of these for years and was happy to see them in stores again. When you’re planning what to wear to Mexico, put at least one pair of skorts on your list. They are fabulous for adding a bit more style to your wardrobe by looking like a cute mini skirt, but because of the shorts underneath you can still be active without worrying about showing what’s underneath. Perfect.

3. Travel Scarf

I love scarves to begin with, but there’s only one kind I’ll travel with and I always travel with it. It’s lightweight enough that it doesn’t feel bulky, which is important when you’re already carrying so much while traveling. It can double as a small pillow on the plane, and can add style to your wardrobe, but more importantly, it has a zipper with a pocket! This is perfect for stashing your ID and boarding pass to keep your hands free while going through security. You can also use it to hold your hotel room key and some cash if you don’t want to carry your purse around.

4. Light Sweater

You may be planning your Mexico vacation to be warm and in the sun, but when evening comes, temperatures can dip down to where it’s a bit chilly. Some restaurants may have their air conditioning on and having a lightweight sweater or a light jacket to slip-on will make your evening much more comfortable. Look for a wrinkle-resistant fabric because again, who’s going to iron while they’re on vacation in Mexico? (I always pack a travel sized bottle of Febreeze, just in case I need to spray some wrinkles out of our clothes.)

5. Cross Body Purse

If you’re going to carry a purse on vacation to Mexico, make it a cross-body style. That way you never have to set it down anywhere and it’s much harder for anyone to grab and run. I only travel with my cross-body purse and made sure it’s small enough to fit inside my backpack. That way it doesn’t count as a personal item when I’m boarding a plane with my carry on and backpack. (Your purse and your backpack each count as a personal item and you’re only allowed one, so make sure your purse is small enough to put inside your bag or backpack!)

6. RDIF Blocking Wallet or Card Holder

Most new wallets come with this ability, but I wouldn’t travel internationally without having some sort of safeguard in place for your cards. Criminals are just so darn tricky nowadays and your credit card information can even be stolen from inside your own wallet. Keep them safely tucked in an RDIF blocking wallet or card holder and you won’t have to worry about that happening.

7. Neck Wallet

This is a good choice if you’re going to be out and about with cash on you and either don’t want to carry a purse or want the added security of keeping it out of sight. We’ve used neck wallets as well as the kind that goes around your waist, but I much prefer these. (I once had the buckle come undone on one I was wearing around my waist. Talk about awkward to fix without announcing to the world you’re wearing it!)

8. Bathing Suit

Actually, you’ll want to take at least two swim suits on your list of things to pack for Mexico. That way one can be drying while you wear the other one. (There’s nothing worse than trying to wriggle back into a wet swimsuit!) If you’re going to get a massage on the beach, you’ll want to go for a two piece. Not a fan of bikinis? No worries, there are plenty of modest tankinis to choose from!

9. Swim Suit Cover Up

With all the time you’re going to be spending at the pool or down by the beach, you’re going to want something quick and easy to slip on to walk around in. While pretty much any style swim suit is accepted by the water, it’s appropriate to wear a cover up when you’re walking around the resort or stopping by a market. Besides, they come in some super cute styles!

10. Sun Hat

As I mentioned before, having a sun hat to wear at the beach or in the pool can make all the difference in how much you enjoy your time there. Even with sun glasses on, the sun can be so bright you’ll be constantly shading your eyes to be able to see. If you’re not normally a hat person, there are so many styles to choose from, and remember, you’re on vacation, right? Step out of your comfort zone, for your own comfort’s sake. You’ll be glad you did!

11. Sun Glasses

This really goes without saying, but if you don’t put it on your list you might just forget them. (Especially for those of us that live in the Pacific Northwest and can go months during the winter without needing them!) Whether you grab them from your car or treat yourself to a new pair, be sure you pack them. I promise you will want them!

12. Flip Flops

If you go to Mexico without flip flops, are you even doing it right? I think not. I rank them right up there with remembering to pack your swim suit! Even if you don’t normally wear flip flops, you’ll want to pack a pair to wear around the pool or to the beach. They are so easy to slip off and on and light enough to carry in your beach bag if needed. Don’t like the way flip flops feel between your toes? Opt for a pair of slide sandals, instead. Either way, make sure one of them is on your list of things to pack for Mexico!

13. Rash Guard Long Sleeve Shirt

Listen friends, take it from someone who has fried her lily-white skin more times than she cares to count. You don’t want a sunburn when you’re on vacation! Sunscreen is great (you need that, too!), but if you’re spending more than a few hours in the sun, love your skin enough to cover it up. You’ll still get plenty of sunshine while you’re there, without overexposing yourself to the sun’s harmful rays!

14. Sarong

While a sarong can be used as a swim suit cover up, it can also be used in quite a few other ways. Tie it around your waist like a long skirt or fold it over and tie it for a short skirt. Use it as a light bed sheet, fold it up to use as a small pillow or even tie the corners to carry things in like a hobo bag or purse. They take up so little space in your luggage that you really can’t go wrong adding them to your Mexico packing list.

15. Beach Bag

Be sure to take some sort of beach bag with you. A large, open style tote can carry everything you need to the pool or beach and can also double as a shopping bag when needed. The best beach bag is made of mesh fabric that’s water resistant and lets the sand fall out. Depending on how big yours is, you can even use it as your carry on bag.

16. Water Shoes

A good pair of water shoes can double for hiking shoes and will come in super handy if hikes are on your agenda. You can get through the muddy sections without worrying about ruining your shoes, plus they’re light weight and easy to pack. Use them if you’re going boating, doing water sports, or any place your regular shoes would get ruined or weigh you down.

17. Sand Free Beach Blanket

This is the coolest thing! It has super tiny holes that allow the sand to sift right through the blanket so it doesn’t stay on top with you. The corners stay down so it stays just how you put it and even has a little zipper pocket to put things in like your keys or wallet. It folds very flat and weighs very little so it’s easy to pack and enjoy on the beach in Mexico.
