Summer is officially loading and that can only mean one thing: carry-on bags at the ready, SPF fully stocked, and group chats buzzing with itinerary spreadsheets and outfit planning. But this year, we’re swapping last-minute impulse buys for more thoughtfully curated; responsible essentials that look as good on the ‘gram as they are kind to the planet. Whether you’re jetting off for a long weekend in Athens or soaking up some local sun, your beauty and accessories lineup deserves a seasonal refresh—one that’s equal parts elevated and ethical.

We’re talking buttery-soft accessories in butter yellow (this season’s most wearable trend), multi-tasking beauty heroes that work hard so you can pack light; and pieces that bring a little sustainable luxury to your sun-soaked escape. These are the responsible summer essentials we’re definitely taking in our carry-on—and once you see what made the cut, you’ll want to upgrade yours, too.
