Today, I’m updating my post on What I Packed for Grand Cayman last summer. I noticed this post is gaining in popularity! If you are here searching for what to pack for a warm weather get away, then first, let me say that you are so lucky! I hope you have a wonderful time! And you are also in luck that I have some great items to share from my recent trip.

We spent a full week in Grand Cayman, and I actually packed more than pictured above in case you may be wondering. What I left out were a few more pairs of shorts, some athletic clothing, an extra swimsuit or two, and a pair of beach shoes. These are older items I pulled from my wardrobe for the trip and can’t be linked.

While not pictured above, I traveled in this amazing matching set. It was a little hot to wear this travel set for long when we arrived back in July. However, it may be perfect for this time of year. Depending on the weather where you are departing, you may want to add a jacket or coat at the beginning of the trip.

I really ended up packing a little more than I needed. As you can imagine, I spent the most time in swimsuits and coverups. In the evening, I rotated between wearing the three dresses I packed along with shorts and a top for more casual venues.

Grace Karin Criss Cross Halter Neck Dress – While I loved all the dresses I packed, this one is my favorite! I have a hard time finding dresses that fit well. And this fits beautifully and is so comfortable! If you are taller, it will be more midi length. If you are petite, it fits more like a maxi dress. It comes down to the top of my ankles. The halter straps do not tie around your neck either. Instead, they attach to the back of the dress. If you click the link, you can see a picture of the back. I will definitely be trying more Grace Karin dresses in the future.

Boho Flowy Mini Dress – I was influenced some other influencers to try this dress at the last minute before my trip. I was pleasantly surprised by this little dress. The material is very thin (not see thru) and lightweight, but that was perfect for the trip. It was so hot in Grand Cayman in July! I was a little concerned on how well it would hold up but have washed it twice now – so far so good. This dress comes in other color options. I think the darker colors would be great for fall if you live in a very warm climate. You could always throw a sweater or jacket over it.

Soma Short Bra Dress – This was my first time trying a Soma Bra Dress, and I wish I had tried one sooner. It’s so nice not to have to worry about finding a strapless bra to go under it! As the name implies, a light bra/padding is built into the dress. I found myself reaching for this dress when I was in a hurry to get ready for dinner. This Soma bra dress is also cute, and I like this dress if you want a dress with sleeves.

KuaiLu Flip Flops – These budget-friendly flip flops are perfect for wearing with dresses, shorts, and swimsuits. They are super comfortable too with a cushiony supportive footbed.

La Blanca One Piece Swimsuit – I really lucked out when it came to comfortable dressing for this trip! This one-piece swimsuit is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever owned. It’s not a tight compression type swimsuit, yet it’s still very flattering.

Blooming Jelly High Waisted Bikini Set – This inexpensive Amazon two-piece set is one of the most flattering two-piece suits I’ve ever owned. It has good coverage, and I really like the bottoms. You can adjust the waist as high as you like and the rouching really helps camouflage a bigger tummy. It comes in tons of color and design options. Plus, you just can’t beat the price if you just don’t wear a swimsuit very often.

Sarong Coverup – All of the coverups in this post are highly recommended, but this sarong was another nice surprise. I don’t know how well it will hold up through many summers of use (I hand wash it), but I do like how nice and thin this one is. It’s easy to tie, and there are many ways to wear it to cover up your suit! Plus, it comes in so many pretty colors and patterns. For only around $18, it really elevates your beach look.

Blooming Jelly Swimsuit Coverup – This little coverup can be worn open, buttoned, or tied at the waist. I like that it covers your shoulders if you need a little sun protection. It also comes in lots of color choices. The other cute coverup I packed can double as a regular dress.

Sanctuary Tie Top – I went with a sleeveless tie top back in July. But this tie top with sleeves would probably be perfect for this time of year.

Touch of Cool Flutter Sleeve Tee – These wonderful tees are perfect for a warm weather vacation. The quality is excellent and comfort is wonderful. Plus, they have some really cute options. Here’s a Touch of Cool tee with a tropical pattern. This flutter sleeve tee has a pretty floral pattern.

Samba Reader Sunglasses – The last time I went to the beach was not long after I started needing reading glasses. I failed to think about how I was going to do any reading on the beach with the bright sun and regular readers. We drove to that beach destination and had our beach umbrella packed. Even under the umbrella, it was tough trying to read in the bright sun without proper sunglasses. So, for this year’s trip, I found some bifocal reading sunglasses which worked so much better.
