Luxe Styles From Marshalls To Shop For Chic Summer Getaways

For tastemakers experiencing a strong sense of wanderlust, summer is synonymous with jet-setting around the globe — or maybe just to the nearest shoreline. Coastal getaways, whether it’s a long weekend at the beach or a two-week retreat to the Mediterranean, are as much about comfort as they are luxury; you want to feel good, but you also want to look good while doing it all.

Faith Xue, BDG’s Executive Beauty Director, finds herself in far-flung destinations all year round. In the summer, her trips prioritize poolside hangs, al fresco dining, and beachy fêtes. As someone who explores the season’s best styles for a living, she’s mastered the art of knowing where to find the most gorgeous pieces to pack for each trip. “At Marshalls, the buyers focus on details like fabrics, stitching, and fit to ensure their pieces are the highest quality,” Xue says of the retailer. Their buying team’s discerning eye, and ability to offer designer pieces at incredible prices, is why it’s her go-to for vacation essentials.

Below, Xue shares three looks, all from Marshalls, that are perfect for a coastal getaway. From breathable fabrics to flirty shapes, see her picks for the summer vacation wardrobe of your dreams.

1. Chic Linen

“For a coastal getaway, I always go for elevated but still casual,” Xue shares, and nothing says ‘vacation’ quite like a linen outfit. From its breathability to its luxe finish, the material works well for everything, including a polished two-piece set perfect for a chic dinner overlooking the sea. “Linen will keep you cool this summer, while still looking effortless,” she adds, noting she gravitates towards pieces with interesting hems and unique details. “Nothing beats its softness and rich texture.”

The Marshalls buying team is always on the hunt for what’s new and what’s next in high-end fabrics like linen, as well as brand names and distinctive pieces. They find inspiration all around the world, so that you can have your most stylish season yet.

2. Quiet Luxury

The ‘Quiet Luxury’ look is a fashion-crowd favorite for a reason: Timeless designs never go out of style! Polished pieces with elegant details epitomize the look. “[I love to] lean into neutral tones,” expands Xue, who also looks for sophisticated styles with “thoughtful design elements,” like a denim maxi skirt with a cool front panel or a ribbed tank with beaded straps. “Marshalls buyers know details like these make all the difference,” she adds.

It’s true that high-quality details can make great pieces even better, and Marshalls buyers understand this. Style and quality are always a top priority when finding the next piece to add to a Marshalls store near you.

3. Romantic Silhouettes

“Dreamy dresses are a vacation staple because they’re so easy to style up or down,” Xue says. This summer, the editor is eyeing styles where the bodice flows into a multi-tiered skirt. The versatile look can be dressed down with sandals for the morning market run — or dressed up with heels for trying a new beachside restaurant. “This silhouette looks incredible” on anyone, she adds.

The romantic silhouette works for all kinds of style preferences, and whether you’re into flowing skirts and fitted bodices, or statement sleeves and ribbon details, you can truly make the look your own.

Whether your own summer vacation sees you on a far-away coastline, or soaking up the sun closer to home, you can nail your next coastal getaway-inspired look at Marshalls.
