Airline tickets: check. Room reservations: check. Packing for that long-awaited getaway vacation: well, that may need a little more thought!

Few things get us more excited than packing and planning outfits for a fabulous trip. Our Zappos stylists have picked out some key pieces to complement each of the different activities you’ll surely be partaking in during your vacation, from a nice dinner date to sightseeing, each of these stylish and cohesive looks will have you basking in vacation bliss in no time!

Night Out

A flowy printed maxi dress, like the BCBGeneration Pleated Maxi Dress, is the ultimate go-to piece that instantly adds an effortlessly chic presence. Keep your footwear sleek and minimal when going with a busier print like this. We love a gladiator flat sandal like the Cole Haan Deandra Gladiator. A simple ALDO handbag in a neutral hue and some bold red jewelry like Lucky Brand Expedition Red Coral Earrings and Lucky Brand Cross Culture Bangles make this down-to-earth date look a real hit.

Beach/Pool Day

To really bring out a sunkissed tan, try wearing a white bikini like the Ella Moss Sahara separates. A pair of minimal T-strap sandals, like the Lucky Brand Georgia, gives a more sophisticated look than your average rubber flip flops. Of course, you’re going to need something to carry your beach essentials in. The Big Buddha Mission Bag is a pretty version of the classic beach straw tote, perfect for keeping your magazines, sunglasses, sunscreen, and everything else you need for basking in the sun. Don’t forget to protect your hair and face with a laid-back Steve Madden straw hat.

Around Town

For a day of sightseeing, pick cute and comfy pieces like the Steve Madden Flutter Ruffle Top and AG Malibu Bermuda Shorts. If flats aren’t your thing, try a pair of platform wedge sandals like the Nine West Bottos for a good combination of stability and height. Keep yourself hands-free all day with a crossbody bag like the Fossil Tava. A dainty Fossil bracelet and MICHAEL Michael Kors La Palma sunglasses finish off this charming look for exploring the town.

Airports

Last but certainly not least, planning comfy yet stylish outfits for the airport and plane is essential for the trendy traveler. A flowy top, like the Brigitte Bailey Sarienne Cinched Tunic, is a great option. Wear it over comfy black leggings like the Culture Phit Natalie. A pair of flexible flats is essential for traveling because it’s not only comfortable, it’s easy to slip on and off at security checkpoints. Again, we highly recommend a roomy crossbody bag like the Aldo Santomenna. This keeps your hands free and your tickets and other essentials at close reach. When choosing luggage, pick something that’s easy to spot at baggage claim. Try a printed and/or brightly-colored one like the Anne Klein Around Town 20” Expandable Rolling Suitcase.

With a little planning and the some key pieces, you’ll ensure a stylish and comfy vacation without having to worry about what you’ll wear from day to day. Remember to keep the weather in mind as well. Check the weather forecast before you start packing. Happy travels!

This week’s Stylists' Picks revolve around the wonderful versatility of the strappy flat sandal. In this case, it’s the lovely Lucky Brand Caryl that gets the fashion spotlight. Getting the most mileage out of a pair of sandals is exponentially more important when packing for that summer vacation. Here, we've put together four distinct looks that all revolve around this must-have warm-weather basic.

Outfit 1:

The flowy and lightweight Brigitte Bailey Flamenco Dress harmoniously works with the Lucky Brand Caryl sandals’ effortless and laid-back style. This flirty ensemble would be perfect for attending a daytime beach wedding or strolling along a fabulous tropical resort. Paired with the stunning tribal-inspired BCBGeneration Aztec clutch and earthy Lucky Brand Ranch Inn turquoise necklace, this look really says “summer goddess” with very minimal effort on your part.

Outfit 2:

For a more low-key, dressed-down look, pair the Caryl sandals with the sweet Lucky Brand Georgia Pintuck Tank Top and laid-back and on-trend 7 For All Mankind Josephina Mid Roll-Up Shorts. This ensemble is particularly appropriate to wear to the beach or the boardwalk. A nautical-inspired bag, like the MICHAEL Michael Kors Marina Large Shoulder Tote in the bright and playful Sun color, makes this breezy look really pop. Of course, don’t forget to protect your locks and your face with a woven fedora like this one by Laundry by Shelly Segal that our stylists handpicked.

Outfit 3:

The next look paired with the Caryl sandal happens to be a picture-perfect daytime date ensemble. The fresh coral and brown palette on the Kenneth Cole New York Tiered Tank goes perfectly with the crisp white on the Paige Premium Denim Roxbury Crop jeans. This soft, feminine look is topped off with a nice dose of turquoise accents in the B.Makowsky Isabel Handheld Satchel and Lucky Brand Wild Flowers Drop Earrings.

Outfit 4:

Showcasing the flat sandal’s utter versatility, the last ensemble is a dressier look that still works seamlessly. The gorgeous BCBGeneration printed dress is perfect for both day and night. Pulling from the soft rose tones on the dress, the ALDO Zembower clutch, in the prettiest shade of pink, really sweetens up this girly outfit.

You've done it! You've survived another dreary winter and you're looking forward to beach-bound destinations. This sunny ensemble was made for basking in the season's warmth. A lightweight Roxy Pop Up Tank maxi dress in pretty pink, paired with metallic Seychelles Greatest Hits wedge sandals, gives you that laid-back, effortless beach style. A breezy straw fedora from the San Diego Hat Company gives off that totally coveted Southern California style, no matter where you go. Finish off this free-spirited look with a bright Volcom Jack Hammered Bag and fun necklace. Now, you're ready to bask in the golden glow of summer!

Trade in your typical sun dress for a printed maxi dress this summer! The fun, colorful print of the BCBGMAXAZRIA ZigZag Maxi Dress gives your casual beachy look that eye-catching factor that's totally effortless. A slouchy BCBGeneration Jade Hobo bag and metallic Matt Bernson gladiator flats lend a relaxed-chic feel that can take you from days on the boardwalk to nights at that fabulous beachside bar. Finally, a nice dose of Lucky Brand bangle bracelets should do the trick in rounding out this summery-siren look.

The perfect date night look starts with a dress that's both sexy and sophisticated like the Tahari by ASL Jocelyn Jenna Metallic Jaquard Sleeveless Dress. A neutral color goes perfectly well with a leg-lengthening pair of ALDO Gutenberg nude pumps. Now for the fun part! Go for splashes of color in your accessories. A patterned and structured Lodis Accessories Belize Diva Clutch Wallet and a stunning pair of chandelier earrings from Kendra Scott radiate in luscious turquoise and aqua hues.

How do you make a little black dress a little more rugged for a weekend romp? Try belting it at the waist with a saddle-colored leather belt and slip into a pair of sassy Western-inspired ankle boots from Frye. Add splashes of bright pop colors like a cool Matt & Nat satchel bag in mustard yellow, and a bohemian-esque turquoise beaded bracelet.
