Here are 10 Fashion Basics to Up Your Vacation Wardrobe that you can easily fall back on. Enjoy your trip!

The List:

Simple and Chic

First up, a pair of denim jeans and a cardigan. You can never go wrong with these two during springtime or anytime, really! A good pair of jeans is something that every LA Girl already has in her closet, so why not bring it out? Preferably light-washed denim, we can see every silhouette with this one – mom, bootcut, relaxed, baggy – paired up with a cute cardigan, tees, or even swimwear! Cardigans go a long way and make the perfect transitional piece everyone must have.
