What to Wear in Italy: Amalfi Coast + Capri Outfits
Planning your dream getaway to the Amalfi Coast? You’re going to want outfits that are stylish, breathable, and made for those sun-drenched seaside towns. From sipping limoncello in Positano to boating through Capri, here are the effortless looks I packed for my own Italian escape—each one perfect for the beach, boat, or a cobblestone stroll.
Towel-Chic for a Boat Day
Shop the look: Shirt | Skirt | Sunglasses
Let’s start with my favorite look for boat days: the Araminta James Bailey Long Sleeve and Terry Column Skirt set. Made from plush towel material, it’s comfy, quick-drying, and gives “just stepped off a yacht” energy. Whether you’re diving into the sea or lounging on deck with an Aperol spritz in hand, this set nails the balance of cozy and cool. I styled it with my Celine Triomphe sunglasses in black acetate for that sleek, elevated finish—because a good pair of sunnies always completes the vibe.
Wandering Positano in Lace
Shop the look: Top | Skirt | Shoes
For exploring Positano, I wore a romantic and breezy combo: a lace tie-up top paired with a white maxi skirt. Light, feminine, and easy to move in, this outfit was perfect for getting lost in the winding streets and stopping for espresso breaks. I topped it off with a cotton headscarf I bought in Positano for that timeless, Italian-coastline flair. On my feet? Teva sandals in a beige summer print—super comfy for cobblestone streets, and cute enough to match the dreamy vibes of the coast.
Beach Club Glam in One-Piece & Linen
Shop the look: Top | Pants | Shoes | Bag
Nothing says relaxed luxury like a one-piece swimsuit styled with white linen pants (Abercrombie makes a great pair!). It’s ideal for a laid-back beach club day—think lounging under striped umbrellas, sipping wine, and slipping into the water when the mood strikes. Throw on a button-down shirt if you want a little more coverage, but honestly, this combo speaks for itself. I paired the look with comfy brown slides (like the ones I’m wearing here) and a classic brown basket bag that held all my beach-day essentials while adding a touch of effortless charm.
Bold & Breezy in Capri
When I visited Capri, I turned up the color with a bold combo: an abstract mesh cover-up and a chartreuse knot-front maxi skirt. The skirt adds a punch of color, while the sheer top layers perfectly over your swimsuit. Together, they create a statement-making look that’s as fun and free as the island itself.
What I love most about all of these pieces is how versatile they are—I can easily mix and match them for future vacations, whether it’s another beach destination or a European summer getaway. They’ve quickly become staples in my travel wardrobe, and I love how effortlessly they pair together for new looks.
No matter which part of the Amalfi Coast you’re headed to, packing lightweight layers, bold accessories, and easy-to-style separates will make outfit planning a breeze. These looks kept me feeling confident, comfortable, and always camera-ready.
