Think you can’t travel with just six pieces of clothing? This genius capsule wardrobe hack will show you how!
Travel Fashion Girl x Vacay Style Capsule Wardrobe
ADVERTORIAL
You might think that traveling with just six pieces of clothing is absolutely impossible but I have a special travel clothing hack that shows you how to accomplish this and still create two weeks worth of travel outfits for a beach vacation:
Introducing TFG’s Minimalista Capsule Wardrobe inspired by Vacay Style!
Travel Fashion Girl x Vacay Style Capsule Wardrobe
Using Vacay Style’s genius two-piece items I was able to transform five of their clothes (plus one additional) to create a total of fifteen outfits!
See all the outfits on the Vacay Style TFG page!
Create Your Own Custom Capsule Wardrobe
Vacay offers themed capsule wardrobe collections, each of which are designed to mix and match to create 15 outfits. Each capsule includes five pieces but you have the choice of either buying a single item, the entire set, or…
… you can shop their entire line to customize your own five-piece capsule wardrobe like I did!
As a bonus, when you buy any five pieces (or more) you instantly get 20% off your entire purchase PLUS one of their gorgeous beach bags for free!

Travel Fashion Girl’s Vacay Capsule
Since Vacay allows you to customize your own capsule wardrobe I mixed and matched pieces from three of their themed collections: Tahiti, Martinique, and St. Bart’s.
Martinique MAXi | St. Barts MAXi | Tahiti 2-Piece Jumpsuit | Tahiti Caftan | Tahiti Halter
The reason why I love Vacay is that their clothing is versatile and you can easily mix and match the pieces together or with a few of your own wardrobe essentials.
All of their sets have lovely hues such as vibrant blues and pretty corals. However, I wanted a neutral capsule wardrobe that I could enhance with whatever color is currently dictating my mood when planning a vacation.
Versatility is key to a capsule wardrobe. Learn more in my guide!
St. Barts MAXi worn four unique ways
I’m especially crazy about their MAXi 2-piece dresses. Wear the two items together to create a maxi dress or wear the skirt alone as a midi dress. Then, pair the top and skirt with other pieces to make a variety of other looks as shown above.
I used one of their MAXi dresses on my honeymoon and another in Isla Holbox in Mexico. Take a look! You can also shop all of their styles here!
And now they also have 2-piece jumpsuits! GENIUS! Wear them together or separately with contrasting color tops and bottoms for even more versatility.
Grab the 2-piece jumpsuits asap as they sell out quickly. Shop here!
For my capsule, I used the five pieces shown above and added one pair of denim shorts but you can easily replace the shorts for a pair of capris, mini skirt, or whatever else suits your personal taste.
In total I combined two (2-piece) MAXi dress, one (2-piece) jumpsuit, one caftan, and one of their halter tops. Take these five pieces, add one or two more of your own pieces, and create over fifteen travel outfits!

Why We Love Vacay Style
I’ve written about Vacay Style several times and even wore all of their clothing on my honeymoon in the Maldives. Their Tahiti caftan is an absolute must in every sun chaser’s travel wardrobe! It’s light, beautiful, and beyond comfortable. Pic below:

The idea for Vacay came to Elizabeth Hynes during her own Honeymoon in 2008. It was during her epic sailing journey to Bora Bora that Elizabeth learned how to pull together a collection of items that could create multiple outfits.
She knows how important fabrics are for travel clothing so all their pieces have travel friendly fabrics that are wrinkle resistant or even wrinkle free.
The key to packing light is to use packing cubes to compress your clothing shown in this video!
Satisfaction is guaranteed and you can try the brand 100% risk free. You’re welcome to return unworn items within 2 weeks for a full refund – plus return shipping is free! Definitely worth giving it a shot.
Vacay offers free shipping and free returns within the US and also offers low flat-rate international shipping.
As a bonus, international shipping is FREE for orders over $500 – an awesome deal for travelers overseas.

We hope you liked this post on my custom Vacay Style capsule wardrobe. Please share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest. Thanks for reading!
I love these two-piece style dresses and the capsule idea but realizing that the company is now out of business. Are there any other companies offering something similar?? Thanks!!
Hi Becky, sadly we haven’t found anyone that offers quite what Vacay Style did.
You might like Encircled, another popular brand for travel clothing: http://bit.ly/2Ls3ADe
Encircled is a Canadian company that specializes in sustainable, stylish, versatile garments for travel and everyday wear. One item that is really popular is their Chrysalis Cardi, the ultimate travel convertible dress: http://bit.ly/2Ls3ADe
A common issue for travelers attending special occasions abroad is that they struggle with the idea of packing a dress they’ll only be able to wear once on their entire trip. Read my Chrysalis Cardi Dress review to learn how this dress solves that problem: https://bit.ly/3PHIf5A
Most recently, their travel clothing line has expanded to include shirts, blouses, pants, jumpsuits, skirts, jackets, and more! We love Encircled and you will, too!
I would also recommend that you join our TFG facebook group and post asking there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/travelfashiongirls/ It’s a fabulous community of helpful female travelers that love to share their travel advice and recommendations.
Hope this helps.
I like the clothes but they are teally pricey. I think for the price, the fabric could have been of a higher quality such as linen.
Thanks for sharing Cali.
I love Vacay! I have several of the pieces. Elizabeth is a delight to work with! My problem is trying to decide which pieces to take! I love the 2 piece maxis, too!
Love the 2-piece maxis!! Glad you love them as much as we do!! Happy travels Kimberly and thanks for reading!
Alex. You and I are both short. How did you make the St. Barts maxi work for you in flats. Or did you have to wear it with heels?
I hiked it up very high up my waist 😉 However, what I’ve started doing is getting all my dresses and skirts hemmed to a preferred length – it’s a game changer!
I love the two-piece jumpsuits!
Thanks, me too!
This is cute and I love the concept, however even with the discounts, Im not sure that I will be buying. They are really expensive though. For those prices, I would have preferred natural fabrics such as hemp or linen rather than synthetics.
Thanks for the feedback Cali!
