My Nantucket Packing List

May 22, 2022 · In: Fashion, Spring & Summer, Travel

I hope this packing list for Nantucket provides you some inspiration for your next trip to ACK!

Next week we are heading to Nantucket! I am so excited, yet nervous.

Grant and I have never been to New England together – and I haven’t been since I was a toddler. Needless to say, I am very excited to be going somewhere that feels new to the both of us.

I am sure like many of you, the first thing I think of when I book a trip is, “what am I going to wear?”

Nantucket is definitely an interesting destination since it is a bit cooler (despite it being a post-Memorial Day trip), so I definitely had to take that into consideration.

Additionally, we’re only there for 3 nights, therefore I am making it my goal to ONLY PACK A CARRY-ON!

I know, very hard to believe for a gal like me – but I am up for the challenge.

So take a look at these little mood boards I made to help me with my packing for next week – and to help you create your own packing list when traveling to Nantucket!

Outfit Idea #1: Stylish Layering

Nantucket packing list summer outfit - Hillhouse home dress, Lorna Murray sun hat, Veja sneakers

Our weather forecast is looking like days averaging around the high 50’s and low 60’s, so I feel like layering will be important!

Since I am from the north I am used to this kind of weather, but I do expect it to be windier than I am used to.

I plan on bringing some cashmere for the cooler days, but also bringing my Lorna Murray sun hat to protect my face from the UV rays and protect my hair from wind!

I’m also being mindful of my carry-on goal and only packing one purse that will go with literally everything.

This purse from Kathleen Maeve (link removed – product no longer made) goes with everything and can be dressy or casual.

And of course, white sneakers since we’ll be walking/biking a lot.

Nap Dress // Cashmere Cardigan // Lorna Murray Hat // Veja Sneakers

Outfit Idea #2: Activewear Chic

Nantucket workout dress outfit - Lululemon, On Cloud shoes, J Crew sweater

This look is definitely for the morning to get out and get the blood pumping.

Of course, I’d layer a sweatshirt with a workout dress if I go that route to keep warm.

No active look is complete without a Lululemon belt bag – which are seriously so handy, and I love this color. Some comfy trainers, and a cute nautical baseball cap to hide the bed head.

Outfit Idea #3: Classic New England

Nantucket summer nautical outfit - Sarah Flint sandals, J Crew jeans

While I wear white denim year ’round, it will be post Memorial Day so everything is free game.

A white jean, especially these cropped flare ones from J.Crew Factory, have been my go-to as of late, and they’re so versatile.

A nautical sweater is always appropriate on Nantucket.

And I figured I’d pack one pair of sandals just in case it feels warm enough to wear. If not, this look would be perfect with sneakers.

Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️ But Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️

But with overcast skies, weather in the 60’s, and no vacations planned until the end of August - it’s hard to pick up the call😅

While we didn’t have the best beach weather last While we didn’t have the best beach weather last weekend, we still managed to soak up some sun☀️🌊

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍
