There’s something about packing for Palm Beach that feels extra fun. The style there is effortlessly chic, colorful, and a little bit glamorous — think bright colors, beautiful textures, statement accessories, and pieces that feel perfectly suited for sunshine and warm ocean breezes. Whenever I travel somewhere warm, I like to keep my outfits fairly simple and let the accessories be the moment. A great pair of sunglasses, a fun bag, or the right jewelry can completely transform an outfit and make it feel vacation-ready.
Since we’ll be heading to Palm Beach for a special weekend event with Jimmy’s family, I wanted to pack pieces that feel polished but still playful and perfect for Florida. Palm Beach style is known for its vibrant colors, feminine details, and classic resort wear, so I leaned into that when choosing what accessories to bring. From statement sunglasses and beach bags to delicate jewelry and fun shoes, here are all the accessories I’m packing for Palm Beach.
The Sunglasses
Sunglasses are one of my favorite accessories because they instantly elevate any outfit while also being practical. For Palm Beach, I wanted to bring a few pairs that felt fun, fashionable, and slightly bold.
Miu Miu 52YS Pink Sunglasses
These are definitely my fun statement pair. The soft pink frames feel playful and feminine, which makes them perfect for a sunny Florida destination. I love how they instantly add color to an outfit, especially if I’m wearing something neutral like white linen or denim.
Pink accessories always feel right for Palm Beach, and these give that perfect resort-glam vibe.
Fendi First 54MM Oval Sunglasses
These sunglasses are a little more classic and sophisticated. The oval shape feels very on-trend right now while still being timeless enough to wear year after year. They’re the kind of sunglasses that work with literally every outfit, whether I’m wearing a casual daytime look or something dressier for dinner.
Vacation Bags I’m Bringing
Bags are one of the easiest ways to add personality to an outfit. I like bringing a few different styles when traveling so I have options depending on what we’re doing.
Yellow Sam Edelman Mini Shoulder Bag
This bag is the perfect pop of color. Yellow accessories always feel so cheerful and sunny, which makes them perfect for a Florida trip.
Mini shoulder bags are also great for travel because they’re lightweight and easy to carry while still fitting the essentials like your phone, lip gloss, and sunglasses.
Pink Tory Burch Shoulder Bag
Palm Beach style is all about color, and this pink bag fits that aesthetic perfectly. It’s feminine, polished, and adds a soft pop of color to an outfit. This is the bag I’ll probably wear to dinner or evening events since it feels slightly more elevated.
Miu Miu Jacquard Fabric Pouch with Logo
This pouch is one of my favorite travel accessories. It’s perfect for keeping small essentials organized in my tote bag — things like lip products, sunscreen, hair ties, and jewelry. I love bringing a pouch like this when traveling because it keeps everything neat and easy to find.
Straw Pool Tote Bag
Every beach destination requires a good straw tote. This will definitely be my pool and beach bag for the weekend.
It’s perfect for carrying:
• sunscreen
• sunglasses
• a book
• a water bottle
• a towel
Straw bags are also such a classic vacation accessory and instantly make any outfit feel summery.
Shoes I’m Packing
Shoes are one of the most important accessories when traveling because you want options that are both stylish and comfortable.
Tory Burch Eleanor Slide Sandal Rose Gold
These sandals are perfect for Palm Beach. The rose gold color feels elegant while still being neutral enough to pair with almost anything. Slides are also incredibly convenient for travel because they’re easy to throw on for everything from breakfast to walking around town.
Green Gianni Bini Mules
I love bringing a statement shoe on vacation, and these green mules are exactly that. The color is bold but still sophisticated, and they’ll add a fun pop to simpler outfits. They’re perfect for dinner or any event where I want my outfit to feel a little more dressed up.
Madden Girl Kitten Heel Sandals
The white Madden Girl kitten heel sandals are the perfect blend of chic and effortless for Palm Beach. With their clean, minimalist silhouette and comfortable low heel, they’re ideal for pairing with breezy dresses, linen sets, and polished daytime looks while strolling Worth Avenue or heading to dinner by the water.
Mesh Mary Jane Ballet Flats
The white mesh Mary Jane ballet flats from Amazon are a chic yet practical addition to my Palm Beach packing list. The breathable mesh and classic Mary Jane silhouette make them perfect for warm days spent exploring, while still adding a polished, feminine touch to any outfit.
Jewelry I’m Bringing
Jewelry is always one of my favorite parts of packing. Even the simplest outfit can feel elevated with the right pieces.
Lele Sadoughi Mother of Pearl Small Crystal Lily Earrings
These earrings are so beautiful and feminine. The mother of pearl detail feels elegant and slightly beachy, which makes them perfect for a coastal destination like Palm Beach. They’ll definitely be my dressier evening earrings.
Ana Luisa Giulia Medium Hoops
A classic pair of gold hoops is something I always travel with. They’re simple, timeless, and go with literally everything.
These will be my everyday earrings for the trip.
Ettika Starfish Earrings & Ettika Rope Shell Necklace
These pieces feel so perfect for a beach destination. The starfish and shell details are fun without feeling over-the-top, and they give off that effortless coastal vacation vibe. They’ll look especially cute with flowy dresses or linen outfits.
Pink Swarovski Tennis Bracelet
A tennis bracelet always adds a little sparkle, and the soft pink stones make this one feel extra special.
It’s delicate enough to wear during the day but still elegant for dinner or evening events.
Julie Vos Jewelry
I’m also packing several pieces of Julie Vos jewelry, which always add the perfect touch of polished, timeless elegance to any outfit. The warm gold tones and classic designs elevate even the simplest dresses and linen sets, making them ideal for effortlessly chic Palm Beach styling.
Hats & Hair Accessories
Accessories don’t stop at jewelry and bags. Hair pieces and hats can make such a difference when styling vacation outfits.
Crochet Bucket Hat from Nordstrom Rack
Bucket hats have been everywhere the past few seasons, and I love how relaxed and stylish they look.
This crochet version feels perfect for vacation — it’s breathable, stylish, and adds texture to a simple outfit.
It’s also great for sun protection when we’re spending time outside.
Floral Claw Clips
Claw clips are one of my favorite travel hair accessories because they’re easy and practical.
I love bringing a few cute ones because they’re perfect for:
• quick updos
• pool days
• windy beach walks
The floral design feels especially fitting for a sunny destination like Palm Beach.
Satin Headscarves
I’m also bringing a few satin and silk headscarves I found at Marshall’s—they’re such an easy way to add color and personality to an outfit. Whether tied around a ponytail, worn as a headscarf, or wrapped on a handbag, they instantly give any look that effortless, Palm Beach–ready charm.
Why Accessories Are My Favorite Part of Packing
While outfits are obviously important, accessories are what really make a vacation wardrobe feel complete. The right sunglasses, jewelry, bags, and shoes can completely change the feel of an outfit and help you create multiple looks using the same clothing pieces. Accessories truly are the finishing touch that can transform any outfit from simple to show-stopping. They add personality, polish, and cohesion, allowing you to express your style without saying a word. Whether it’s the perfect pair of shoes, a statement piece of jewelry, or a playful scarf, thoughtful accessories are essential—they complete the look, elevate your wardrobe, and make getting dressed every day feel intentional and effortless. I always try to pack accessories that are:
• versatile
• lightweight
• colorful or fun
• easy to mix and match
Palm Beach style is all about embracing color, texture, and effortless glamour, so this trip felt like the perfect opportunity to bring some pieces that feel playful and special. Between the statement sunglasses, beachy jewelry, fun bags, and chic shoes, I’m so excited to style these accessories while we’re there. And honestly, half the fun of a trip like this is getting to dress up a little and lean into the beautiful, sunny atmosphere of Palm Beach. ☀️🌴
