Kelsey Merritt's Effortlessly Chic Travel OOTDs in Italy

One of the exciting parts about traveling is the experience of putting together outfits for the trip. After all, there are so many possible factors that influence the decision-making—weather, location, duration of the trip, style preference, comfort, and more.

For Kelsey Merritt, who took to Instagram to share her recent travels, her trip to Italy was captured in a series of effortlessly chic OOTDs. As evidenced by her looks, the Filipina model served a masterclass in vacationing in style. 

Black, white, and brown make for a no-brainer color palette that will always look chic. Kelsey casually toned down a black haltered WILLOW dress by pairing it with white pants. Overall, the palette is elevated by the gold accents of her KHAITE clutch and sandals.

It seems as if wearing white on a yacht or boat is an unspoken rule at this point. Kelsey's take is an all white robe dress from Alex Rivière Studio. How did she style it? Going barefoot, black sunglasses, and an oversized bag that complemented the volume and length of the dress. 

Mixing and matching separates are always fun. Kelsey makes a case for a nautical cowboy with a classic striped long-sleeved shirt and Proenza Schouler maxi skirt. To keep the attention on the clothing, Kelsey accessorized the look with everything black.

How can one accentuate their beautiful legs? By wearing an oversized piece from The Frankie Shop that covers the upper body and bares the legs. Bonus points if you carry a chic clutch and wear sexy wedges—both from Brunello Cucinelli. 

What's a travel OOTD without a mirror selfie? Playing with textures, Kelsey captured her outfit that features a black fringed maxi dress and on oversized raffia shoulder bag—the Cult Gaia Amun.

"Last bits of summer at one of my favorite places," captioned Kelsey, who's referring to Sardinia. Emphasizing her love for Italy, the model rightfully wore a beautiful and risqué dress from Ferragamo.
