If you know me, then you know I’m always gearing up for another trip. I just came back from Vietnam, and I had so much fun on my first solo traveling adventure. Whether it’s the food and gorgeous landmarks or excellent shopping, there’s truly a wealth of things to do and see. If you’re not familiar, Vietnam exists in a Tropical Monsoon climate, so it can get pretty hot and humid depending on the city you’re in and the time of year. While I was mostly prepared for what I’d encounter, there were items I wish I had thought to pack. Ahead, I’ve detailed exactly what vacation fashion pieces and beauty products I think you should bring along on your next adventure.
If you’re headed somewhere similar, I’ve got you covered. From breathable yet chic linen clothing options to must-have skincare items, there’s just about everything you can think of ahead. Keep scrolling to uncover the tropical climate beauty and fashion picks that get this editor’s stamp of approval.
