Essentials for a Palm Beach Prep

I'm writing to you from the land of all things preppy, Palm Beach, FL. Walking around Palm Beach is like walking around heaven for a prep. With Vineyard Vines lovers nearly everywhere I turn, I feel right at home. In fact, Palm Beach even has its own Vineyard Vines store! Seriously, nothing can get better than that. If you ever happen to travel here or just want to dress like you're here, use this post as a guide for the Vineyard Vines essentials to a Palm Beach Prep.


For the pool or beach:

The maxi dress (top left) is perfect for everyday use! Whether you're going out to dinner or lounging by the pool, it is a wonderful piece from the new collection. The ribbon adds some flare, as well. Vineyard Vines also has a variety of bathing suits that are perfect for Florida! The nautical and striped suits (top right) are just some of my favorites. If you're traveling to the beach, be sure to get a pair of flip flops and the classic patchwork tote! I've chosen these four pieces as Palm Beach essentials, but trust me- there are many other pieces that could fit right in! Check out www.vineyardvines.com for more pool/beach items. 


For the golf course:
The Whale Embroidered seersucker shorts are a great pair to wear on the golf course for girls, especially paired with a polo like the one on the top right. In addition, a hat is definitely essential to play golf with in Florida to protect yourself from the sun! The striped polo for guys is a great shirt to wear on the golf course because it is made from Coolplus jersey. All four of these items are perfect to wear while playing golf!

For the nighttime: 
As you can probably tell, I love blue and salmon colored things. These pieces are great for a night out in Palm Beach, whether you're eating at a restaurant or a country club. I love the salmon colored pants for guys, and I love the two dresses for girls because of their cute, detailed trim. Check out more items for nighttime at www.vineyardvines.com


Keep in mind that you don't have to be in Palm Beach to dress like a Palm Beach Prep! Whether you're vacationing in Palm Beach, another destination or just staying home, I hope that these items are of some use or interest you! Happy spring, readers!
