What Should I Wear to Boca Grande?
So you're off to Boca Grande! Lucky lady! Boca is a phenomenal little spot - a quiet corner of Florida that time has left behind. Feel free to let your preppiest and most pastel outfits out of the closet for this adventure!
Whether you're staying at The Gasparilla Inn & Club, or just popping over to explore for the day, "Boca" doesn't disappoint. Don't forget to keep an eye out for famous faces (so that you can quickly give them space and pretend you didn't see them!!!) and grab a drink at the Loose Caboose, once you're there, and let's talk packing essentials for your trip to Boca Grande.

What to Wear in Boca Grande: Sun Hat
Phew, that Florida sun gets toasty, even in the winter months! I have the most phenomenal, monogramed straw hat from Kailey's Monogram Boutique on Etsy. Perfect for the beach, or for walking around and protecting your sunburn for yesterday, a floppy sun hat is really a must. I really can't recommend my hat from Kailey's highly enough - it even survives being packed in suitcases repeatedly.
Amazon also have some cute, pre-made (non-monogramed options), such as the one below!   What to Wear in Boca Grande:

I went to college in Virginia, and thank goodness I kept all the dresses from those steamy summers (though, let's be honest, it's hot in Williamsburg through the end of October).
With the heat in Boca, our most recent visit was in late April, dresses are my usual go-to, just to try to keep things relatively cool! I especially like dresses for dinners, as they'll suit any dress code. Dress code, you ask? Yes, you'll want to be sure to confirm dress codes at the higher-end restaurants on Boca Grande. For more on that, check out Where to Eat on Boca Grande. Of course, you can't go wrong with Lilly! I also recently discovered Lauren James, who has some adorable summer options, as well. |

What to Wear in Boca Grande:
Preppy shorts
It gets hot, hot, hot in Boca Grande, so you will definitely want to include several pairs of shorts in your suitcase. I'm all about white shorts with the scalloped bottoms, as they go with literally anything else you've packed for this brightly-colored trip!
Luckily, J McLaughlin, which has a store on Boca Grande, also has the most phenomenal shorts. Personally, I prefer the longer versions, but maybe that's just me getting old! My new find Lilly James has some good options as well!

What to Wear in Boca Grande:
Bright blouses
For popping around the shops, grabbing a drink, or lounging by your pool, you'll want to load up on comfy, brightly colored tunics, such as this Helen Jon shirt dress. I also recently found Cabana Life, which has a ton of sun protective tunics!
What to Wear in Boca Grande:
The right shoes
You'll want to bring a few different types of shoes, for beach, strolling around town, pool, and, of course some options for dinner both at home and out in town! I always include the options below, at least! Jack Rogers (flip slops and heels), and some top siders for boating.
