(You can see our packing tips <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/lifestyle\/packing-tips-easy-summer-travel?cid=icp_dcs_awg_HouseHarper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.) So let\u2019s get to the fun part, what trends should definitely make the cut!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_2.jpg\" alt=\"Caroline wearing a caftan and posing on the stairs of the Carnival Victory\" width=\"456\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_2.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><br \/>\n1. A breezy caftan<br \/>\nThere is just something so chic and timeless about a caftan (or kaftan). They are certainly not a new concept, but they have made a major comeback in the last few years. And, in my opinion, there isn&#8217;t a better occasion to try one than by a pool or on a beach. They are perfect for throwing on over your swimsuit to explore the local town or to head in for lunch. I personally love styles that balance the volumes shape with a deep V-neck and slits on either side.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/what-to-wear-on-a-cruise_1.jpg\" alt=\"Caroline posing on the Carnival Victory deck with her suitcase next to her\" width=\"456\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/what-to-wear-on-a-cruise_1.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/what-to-wear-on-a-cruise_1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. Nautical stripes + statement t-shirts<br \/>\nMy entire suitcase was unintentionally red, white and blue. I mean when you are packing for a cruise ship, how can you not want to look the nautical part? I love these high-waisted stripe shorts paired with the casual, but on-trend statement t-shirt. There are so many fun t-shirts this season you can pick the phrase that best suits you. I also love the simple &#8216;vacation&#8217; one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_10.jpg\" alt=\"Caroline sitting in a blue lounge chair wearing a sun hat and looking out at the ocean\" width=\"456\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_10.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_10-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. A swimsuit with cutouts<br \/>\nWhen it comes to fashion this year, cutouts were the biggest statement maker, so it is no surprise the swimsuit designers took notice as well. I am in my early thirties and a mother of two so it&#8217;s definitely time I embrace the one-piece, but I am not ready to completely throw in the towel, either. I love all the trendy cut-out one piece bathing suits that let you feel stylish, yet conservative and appropriate at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_14.jpg\" alt=\"Caroline holding a blue and tan stripped bag with colorful tassels on the pool deck\" width=\"456\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_14.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_14-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. A tassel pool bag<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t mention a summer trend list without talking about tassels! From earrings to sandals, these cute details are everywhere! I love all the beach bag options to carry your sunscreen and essentials to the pool in style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/JUMP_1.jpg\" alt=\"Caroline wearing blue and white stripped pants and carrying a basket bag\" width=\"456\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/JUMP_1.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/JUMP_1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. A versatile basket bag<br \/>\nWhen traveling, you always want to downsize your handbag. I also recommend packing a neutral one like this on-trend woven bag that will go with every outfit in your suitcase. I prefer the cross-body strap that can be tucked in for optimal versatility. This bag had me covered from the pool deck to the dining room.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_8.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead photo of Caroline sitting in a lounge chair and wearing a sun hat\" width=\"456\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_8.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SWIM_8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6. A quirky statement sun hat<br \/>\nTo top off our list, let&#8217;s talk sun protection. I always have on SPF 50 on my face, but you can never be too careful. With a cute sun hat like this, you don&#8217;t have to worry about reapplying your sunscreen, and with a fun saying like &#8216;hello, sunshine&#8221; you are sure to bring a smile to everyone&#8217;s face while you are at it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"influencerWidgetContainer\" style=\"background: #FFFFFF !important; text-align: center !important; padding: 10px 20px !important;\">\n<p style=\"color: #004973 !important; font-family: Georgia, serif !important;\">This post was created for <a style=\"color: #004973 !important; font-family: Georgia, serif !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/?cid=icp_dcs_awg_HouseHarper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Away We Go with Carnival<\/a>, the destination for getting in the getaway state of mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"nc_pixel\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.newscred.com\/px.gif?key=YXJ0aWNsZT0zNTU3NjkzNDA5NmY3ZjUwZTI5OTVkM2RhZDA4YzdiNA==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Packing for any vacation can be stressful, but we are here with part II of our summer vacation packing series &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/lifestyle\/fashion\/top-summer-trends-perfect-cruise\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"read-more\" aria-label=\"Read more of Top Summer Trends That Are Perfect For A Cruise\"> read more<\/a>","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":7364,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[71,3],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-7340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","category-lifestyle","tag-fashion"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
