I'm an American Writer in Italy, and Here's Exactly What I Pack for a Trip to Sicily-From $27

"There's no question that my favorite region of Italy is Sicily. I often joke that Sicily is what Americans are really looking for when they head to Italy. The Sicilian hospitality, the sultry drama of baroque cities, the melodic Sicilian accents, the food! Whenever there's an opportunity to head to the Mediterranean island, I jump at the chance, carry-on ready."

"It was a white cotton poplin Tory Burch dress in a timeless 1940s-style silhouette. With the breezy poplin material, I wasn't melting in the Sicilian morning heat-or at least I didn't look it. This white Staud halter dress with a dramatic bow back is loose and airy, perfect for those early mornings or late afternoons under the hot Sicilian sun. This Rag & Bone poplin dress is a similar shape to my Tory Burch dress-elegant and structured, but not clinging to your body."

Pack a carry-on with lightweight, breathable, and stylish items for a Sicilian weekend. Include elevated swimsuit cover-ups, stylish sandals, breezy dresses, and jumpsuits that transition from day to evening. White cotton poplin dresses in vintage silhouettes stay cool and look timeless while remaining structured without clinging. A slightly crumpled linen button-down works over swimsuits or with linen trousers and serves many functions; affordable 100-percent European linen options are available. Matching short sets offer easy breakfast looks and daytime wandering ensembles. Prioritize airy fabrics and versatile pieces to handle the island heat with effortless style.
