Must-Pack Spring Break Essentials

Whether you’re adulting your way through winter or still in school, have you ever heard two lovelier words strung together than spring and break? 

If you’re lucky, you’ve got a trip lined up somewhere sunny and a packing list weeks in the making. (What’s a vacation if not something to obsessively look forward to?)

Everyone here at Bare Necessities is just as excited to get into a new season—so much so that we rounded up the essential spring getaway pieces we’re packing. Pick one from the categories you need, and away you go.

A BIKINI:

A ONE-PIECE:

  • Becca Color Play One-Piece: You’ve got to love a fashion maillot for an early-in-the-season trip, when you haven’t necessarily worked up the nerve to put on a bikini. This one very cleverly spans the distance between a hot two-piece and a classic one-piece using a layer of peek-a-boo crochet.
  • Miraclesuit Marrakech Escape Underwire One-Piece: Super flattering, courtesy of both its kaleidoscope print and its Miratex fabric. To be honest, though, we’re really here for the fab matching tasseled cover-up.

A TANKINI:

  • Fantasie Fiji Underwire Tankini Top: Both supportive and springy, with its vivid flora-and-fauna motif. We also appreciate the range of bottoms, in solid aqua or the same print.
  • Sunsets Amalfi Coast Muse Tankini Top: Inspired by the blue hand-painted tiles of southern Italy, this flattering underwire-halter-plunge tankini silhouette is exclusive to Bare Necessities.

A PLUS-SIZE SWIMSUIT:

A COVER-UP:

  • Dotti Coachella Crochet Sarong: Get set to shake things up in the next available Conga line, because this dramatically fringed crochet sarong is ready to party.
  • Becca Breezy Basics Swim Cover-up: There’s a color of this cool, comfy tank dress to go with practically every swimsuit to make popping into a cafe or bar easier and more put-together-looking.

BRAS:

PANTIES:

PAJAMAS:

LEGGINGS:

ACTIVEWEAR:

  • Onzie High Basic Capri and Le Femme Sports Bra: If you know you’re getting in a workout, go for the Gold…Floral print. The ruched, ruffle-strapped bra stands head and shoulders above its style competition. Or do the leggings with that black tank you already have.
  • Onzie High Rise Leggings and Pyramid Sports Bra: The shiny Love Stone marble-inspired print is amazing, as is the edgy, strappy design behind the scoop-neck bra.
