1/7
Alana Drayson
A visor, crop top, tennis skirt and a drawstring bag make for very adorable and fuss-free attire, perfect for a sunny day out sightseeing.
2/7
Alessandra Ambrosio
A long and flowy maxi dress always does the trick in creating a casual yet elegant look, especially when you want to look classy while still keeping cool in the sun.
3/7
Julia Nottebohm
A sarong or a pair of elephant pants are great investments for the hot and humid weather, as they display absolutely beautiful prints and are made of material light enough that will ensure you comfort throughout your day.
4/7
Ciara
A crop top is an essential piece of clothing for a tropical climate. Instead of pairing it with some plain denim shorts, why not try wearing a sarong or a wrap skirt instead?
5/7
Hofit Golan
Rompers are usually designed with beautiful, bold patterns, and can act as some serious statement wear. They make excellent choices of clothing for the tropical climate, if you want to stay fashionable without getting all hot and bothered at the same time.
6/7
Elyse Taylor
A simple beach dress should always be your go-to wear, particularly if you want to cover yourself up with something easy and light while heading to the beach.
7/7
Sofia Vergara
This actress knows just how to rock the beach look in this stunning outfit that's simple but eye-catching. You don't need to wear such a bold colour if you're not as confident, but the idea of wrapping a sarong to create a skirt over your one-piece swimsuit (or bikini) is a great one. Top it off with a sun hat, and you can even do some sightseeing in this getup!

Get ready for some serious summer fashion for your tropical vacation this holiday.

Summer is a great season to travel, especially to a tropical country filled with lots of sun and lots of beaches - a perfect way to soak up the summer atmosphere and to celebrate the fun the season brings. We're sure you have tonnes of plans this holiday, and we're here to remind you that a vacation is also the best time to play around with fashion. And, of course, we're doing it in the best way we know how to - celebrity inspiration!

In the lead up to your highly anticipated tropical vacation, we've gathered what we think are some looks you can rock on the streets of wherever you're headed to. When doing your shopping, do be sure to keep in mind that thin and light materials always work best for a sunny climate. You probably won't need a jacket, so bringing along a light cardigan will do the trick for chilly nights, if there happen to be any. And you'll definitely be needing your swimwear. Bring all of them.

Lastly, don't forget a pair of trusty sunglasses and sunscreen lotion. You still need to take care of your skin on holiday!
