What to Pack: Cuba

We recently went on a week-long trip to Cuba and I took my outfit planning super seriously. Havana in particular is full of so much color, from the architecture to the restaurants and natural beauty, that I wanted my outfits, and photos, to really fit the theme. So, I spent a month shopping ahead of this trip to find the right mix of boho and frilly and pastel and bold prints. Here are some of my favorite finds and picks if you visit Cuba. (And if you do, make sure to read our Travel Guides ahead of time here and here).

Pretty much everything from the Privacy Please range worked in Cuba. Think flirty wrap dresses and floral prints and pastel coloring. I particularly love the Kimono dress pictured above, $238, with its bright floral print. Would be perfect for salsa class.

This Jarlo dress, on sale for $85 (!) is perfect for a dinner in the abandoned mansion that is La Guarida. Loving the caged skirt and the play on high and low.

I also love this striped L’Academie shirt dress for daytime in Havana, $160.

The maxi version of their shirt dress is also perfection and can go from day to night and is on sale for $100.

I played around a lot with fabric and texture on the trip, looking for lace insets and such. This Yumi Kim dress nails that concept and would look great next to a vintage bubblegum pink car. It’s on sale for $139.

This Keepsake dress, $129, is perfect for a night out in Havana.
