My PACKING list for my 7 days in Croatia (from someone who likes to bring options)
- 2 pairs of linen white pants
- 1 pair of black linen pants
- 2 skirts (1 maxi, 1 short)
- 4 tops
- 4 dresses
- 3 pairs of shoes
- 2 purses
- 2 sunglasses
Pants
I know you are probably thinking… pants?! In the dead of summer in the Croatian heat?! Yeah right. I absolutely love packing pants for chilly nights or days where I will be walking a lot/up and down stairs. Trust me, you need a good pair (or 5 haha) pair of linen pants. They’re light weight, breathable and versatile to dress for day or night. Highly recommend a white and black pair.
- Abercombie (My fave white linen pants, I swear a size small)
- Amazon (Amazing alternative from amazon)
- Nordstrom (I also like these from Nordstrom)
Shorts/Skirts
Shorts and skirts are a no brainer for the summer heat. I like to pack at least 2-3 pair of linen shorts, a maxi shirt and a shorter skirt/skort. I have been keeping with the neutral whites, blacks and beiges so you can pair these with many different tops.
- Commense – White shorts with matching top
- Abercrombie – White Linen Shorts
- Abercrombie – Skort
- Amazon – Skort
Tops
Packing shirts and tops is a bit tricky. There are so many different types and occasions that you need to pack for. I like to pack at least 2-3 neutral/plain tops that can be paired with many outfits (1-2 tanks, 1-2 short sleeve). 1 white long sleeve collared shirt to double as a beach cover up.
Dresses
Dresses are truly my favorite thing to pack. It’s the perfect way of looking put together without actually having to put in a lot of effort. I like to pack a variety of dresses but mostly midi to maxi dresses. You’re going to be walking a lot (going up and down stairs) you will be much more comfortable in longer dresses. However, short dresses are always perfect for an evening out <3

Shoes
This is the part of pack I struggle with the most but for my last trip to Croatia I think I got it down. Heels sound like a good idea in theory but trust me you will pack them and not wear them. I recommend a white pair and black pair of sandals and a smaller kitten heel for evenings out.
Swim
This is an easy one! I recommend some brighter colors for the summer and a mixture of 1 and 2 piece suits.
