ME+EM
Effortlessly cool is the name of the game with this British brand from founder Clare Hornby. Every ME+EM piece — including crease-less linen maxi dresses, day-to-night jumpsuits, wide-leg knit pants and more — is crafted with the company’s three F’s in mind: flattering, functional, with wear-forever appeal. One key characteristic they forgot to mention? Fun.

Cavender’s
This Texas-based American heritage line just commemorated its 60th anniversary, and trust us, there’s plenty to celebrate. While Cavender’s offers a full Western wardrobe, cowboy boots have been the signature item since day one, with something for every kind of cowpoke (even urban ones). Our pick? A little something with added flair, like the python, pirarucu and ostrich options.

Surfside Supply Co.
Alas, men are all too often left behind when it comes to tailored travel garb. Surfside Supply Co. to the rescue!

These ’fits are as appealing as they are practical, made for just about any vacation scenario.

L’Amour Des Pieds
Nothing crushes vacation vibes more than sore feet. But let’s face it: Women’s footwear tends to be functional or fashionable. L’Amour Des Pieds offers the best of both worlds, with specially engineered shoes — think ergonomic footbeds, ultra comfortable insoles, lightweight rubber soles, max arch support — made for walking (or whatever your preferred mode of transportation might be).

Kilte
Our current world calls for comfort, and cozy has never been so chic. Kilte has cornered the market on luxury knitwear made for living. That means it looks (and feels) just right from home to airport to about-town stroll. On top of that, the cashmere and cotton cashmere collections are easy to wash and maintain their shape — meaning you can focus on your day rather than your dress.

Oasis Society
There’s a reason why this brand’s signature Sorrel tapestry boot keeps going viral and selling out time and again. It’s as pretty as it is playful, plus it’s made to last — as are all of Oasis Society’s shoes. From beach-ready sandals to added-sass sneakers to night-on-the-town boots, this footwear is a full-on vibe.
