Packing for a long summer vacation to a new destination can sometimes be overwhelming. You need to consider the destination’s specific climate, the number of days you’ll be staying, and most importantly – the size of your suitcase. So, here’s a detailed Mykonos style guide for both men and women that will guide you through everything you need to know in order to keep up with the fashion trends on one of the most popular islands in Greece this summer.

When You Look Good, You Feel Good – Here’s a Fashion Guide on Mykonos Style so You Know What to Wear This Summer

While in most summer destinations all you need for a great summer outfit are flip flops, a bathing suit, and a beach towel, that won’t suffice on the Island of the Winds. Mykonos is known for being the fashion capital of Greece during the summer season, when all the celebrities and fashionistas head to this party island to show off their fabulous outfits.

If you’re ever lucky enough to walk along the paved streets of the Old Town of Chora, your head will be turned at every step by stylish women and men dressed to the nines in the latest runway pieces. It’s a place to see and to be seen in your outfit, where everyone tries to look their best. So, feel free to leave the boots and coats at home and get ready for your summer outfits. Here are some Mykonos fashion essentials you need to bring with you to the Island of the Winds in Greece.

Let’s Start Off With Beachwear – Bikini Set or One Piece? Shorts or Speedos?

When it comes to what to wear and your outfit for the beach, you will need a stylish new beach bag to hold all yourbeach essentials, preferably a crochet one. Next, you need to decide what kind of swimsuit you will wear. Most women either opt for a two-piece bikini or a one-piece swimsuit and while you won’t go wrong with either, a bikini is always more effective and trendy.

While women have a wide variety of swimsuit models to choose from, men should be forbidden by law from wearing anything other than regular swim shorts. If you’re contemplating whether you should wear speedos, you don’t deserve to visit Mykonos – go to Ibiza instead.

Mykonos Dress Style – You Can Never Go Wrong with Satin Mini Dresses With Some Lace Details

If you want to keep up with the latest fashion trends while dancing the night away in some of the hottest clubs in the world, you will need a short black satin dress. You know what they say – everyone needs a little black dress. However, all colors of satin dresses are in this summer season, and you get fashion bonus points if your satin dresses are backless or have lace details. While short dresses are worn in the evening, you will also need colorful or white, flowing sundresses for your day outfits.

When It Comes to Mykonos Style Shoes – Sandals Are a Must Have

If you’re wondering what kind of footwear to pack for your vacation, the answer is the same for both men and women – open leather sandals. They’re the ideal choice for any occasion, whether you’re going to dinner or sightseeing. If you don’t own a pair of sandals, you can easily find them in some of the local shops. And even if you do bring a pair you already won, we recommend buying a pair of handmade leather sandals from locals.

Men Don’t Really Need a Tie Around Their Neck – A Linen Shirt Is Just Enough

When it comes to men’s formal and evening outfits, nothing too fancy is required. You won’t see people wearing suits and neckties, mostly because it’s way too warm for that. That’s why men opt for dressy, colorful shirts. You can never go wrong with linen shirts and denim shorts, no matter where you’re going for the evening.

Big Hats and Sunglasses Are Always In

When it comes to accessories, there is only one rule – the more the merrier. Hats and sunglasses are an everyday necessity, and the bigger they are, the better. If you can somehow manage to cover your entire face, not only will you be stylish, but you will also be adequately protected from the sun. Express your style through jewelry, from ankle bracelets to necklaces, you can find it all in various local shops. The evil eye motif is extremely popular, so stack up as many mati blue and white pieces as you can. Just make sure to take them off before leaving for the airport because wearing them is only acceptable on a Greek island.
