Memorial Day weekend, the first major holiday of the summer, is nigh. Seasonal blowout sales are in full swing. What better time to get your vacation wardrobe in order?
Feeling uninspired? We get it. Going on trips is fun; packing for them is not. That’s where the jet set comes in. Fortunately for us, models, actresses and #influencers have long had their vacation looks sorted. (Work hard, play hard and all that.) We’re but a few months into 2017 and seemingly everyone has already made their way to Morocco, Jamaica and beyond. And thanks to the almighty internet, we’re able to stalk even their off-duty, off-the-grid style.
Making your way to the tropics? Take a page out of Imaan Hammam’s book and rock a tonal, sporty-chic look. Sightseeing somewhere chilly? Alessandra Ambrosio suggests you make a spectacle of yourself (or, more specifically, your outerwear). Click through the slideshow above for 15 A-list takes on vacation outfits. Safe and stylish travels to all.

A striped sundress is a summer staple. Take a page out of Joan Smalls' Goa lookbook and complement your colorful cut-out maxi with bright eyeliner and outsize hoops.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #2
Master Parisian belle Jeanne Damas' chic-yet-undone vibe. Style a bold bodysuit with a patterned, side-buttoned midi and espadrilles (aka the shoe of the season).

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #3
Headed to the desert? Pay homage to goddesses past (Cleopatra) and present (Chrissy Teigen). Cinch a golden, Grecian-style dress with an eye-catching rope belt, polish off the look with strappy sandals and a slick bun primed for heat.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #4
Are you a fan of the jean-shorts-bikini-top look? As Rose Bertram demonstrates, a chic logo belt adds instant polish to that ubiquitous poolside pairing.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #6
Imaan Hammam proves one can be both fashion-forward and adventure-ready. Pair chic tonal separates (in this case, a center-tied duster and breezy wide-leg pants) with coordinating sneakers and a statement straw hat. Then head to lush Port Antonio, Jamaica.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #7
About that yacht life? Hit the seas in a festive (read: navy-striped) crop top, side-slit trousers and incongruous pink heels. As an alternative, you can never go wrong with a simple off-the-shoulder dress.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #8
Kendall Jenner's a fount of vacation style inspo. Here, she created compelling friction by rocking a white blazer over a matching one-piece. Genius.

This summer, it's all about the Tex-Mex vibes. Rock a black cowboy hat with blue jeans and a breezy, Frida-esque blouse.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #10
For effortless glamour (and serious comfort), invest in a sweeping off-the-shoulder maxi. Be like Shay Mitchell — don't shy away from color.

A flamenco-inspired dress (seen here on Hannah Bronfman) is another summer must-have.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #12
Again, look for simple staples with visually interesting elements (e.g., contrasting printed panels). Double down on the relaxed vacation vibes with box-fresh sneakers.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #13
Headed to chillier climes? Good thing cardigans are cool again. (Suki Waterhouse and Kim Kardashian say so.) Pick one with statement buttons and pair it with simple black trousers.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #14
Be the spectacle you want to see in the world. When playing tourist, stay cozy — throw on a white tee and jeans, slide into your usual Stan Smiths. But amp things up with a hyper-embellished jacket.

Celeb Vacation Style Inspo #15
Bikinis leave little room for imagination (styling or otherwise). Mix things up — fashion a cheap, cheeky tee into a makeshift crop top.
