Lightweight, breezy fabrics are superior during the hot summer months, and these loose-fitting trousers are an especially great addition to your packing list since they're made from a high-quality blend of cotton and linen that's gentle against the skin and easy to dress up or down. The waistband is designed with elastic and a drawstring, allowing you to create the perfect fit. Whether you're wearing them for a day of sightseeing or a nice dinner, they're suitable for every occasion, depending on how they're styled. If you're not drawn to shorts in the summer, these pants are an excellent alternative that will keep you cool without chafing.
Matching sets are practically designed to make selecting your go-to travel outfit easier than ever. With its lightweight knit construction, this breezy Nenona set will surely be a mainstay in your suitcase. It's super breathable with a stretchy, forgiving weave that's easy to move in (and supremely comfortable for long-haul flights and walking tours alike). Since bohemian, relaxed knits are all the rage this summer, you'll also be on-trend every time you wear the set. And of course, both the top and bottom are neutral enough to be worn together or separately, multiplying your styling potential throughout your next trip.
A versatile button-down should be at the top of everyone's packing list in the summer since they're just as useful to throw over a bikini during a day at the beach as they are tucked into a pair of trousers for a fancy meal or night out. This relaxed cotton blouse is ultra-packable and a great in-flight layer that's easy to add to your personal item without taking up too much space. Thanks to its high-quality construction, it'll only get more comfortable with each wear. It's light enough to sport without overheating despite the rising temperatures, and best of all, it's on sale for just $20.
A plain-colored maxi skirt will create countless outfits while you're traveling with minimal pieces, and at $20, the Ochenta Cotton Maxi Skirt is one of the best finds to add to your suitcase this summer. The long, billowy skirt is ultra-flattering and feminine, and its white color can be styled with a never-ending selection of tops without growing tired.

Maxi-length skirts and dresses are everywhere this summer, so with this in your suitcase, you'll be well-dressed and ready to take dreamy vacation photos at a moment's notice.
If there's one pattern that's having a moment this summer, it's gingham. And since puff-sleeve dresses are another major trend, this feminine Zesica piece is a must-have—and it's now on sale for just $37. The bodice is stretchy and offers plenty of give for a comfortable fit, and it looks just as beautiful with a pair of sandals or heels as it does a simple pair of white sneakers. Whether you're prepping for a summer picnic or a day of exploring, you'll be happy to have this piece at the top of your suitcase.
Perhaps one of the most unexpected trends to make a resurgence this summer, capris are just about everywhere right now—and incidentally, they're a great addition to your travel wardrobe since they're comfortable and flattering. This loose-fitting pair from Sarin Mathews boasts the flexibility of joggers with a slightly more feminine shape, and they're even fitted with an elastic drawstring waistband and pockets that add to their overall function. Dress them up with kitten heels a la Carrie Bradshaw or pair them with sneakers for your next walking tour. Either way, these capris are sure to get plenty of wear during your next vacation.
Footwear trends come and go with the seasons, but it's fisherman sandals that we've spotted everywhere this summer—and they also happen to be the perfect travel shoes. The Steve Madden Marlin Fisherman Sandals stand out from the bunch thanks to the espadrille-style outsoles that are lined with a braided jute material. Plus, the platform is tall enough to give you some extra height without making it difficult to walk. They feature adjustable straps for a snug fit, and shoppers have even dubbed them an 'excellent, comfortable walking sandal.'
Even summer travel requires a lightweight layer for chilly flights and evenings, and this crochet cardigan is an easy way to lean into this season's knit trend while still dressing for the temperature. An open-front design makes this sweater convenient to throw on even if you're sitting in the middle seat, and its neutral beige coloring ensures it'll layer well with numerous existing outfits in your suitcase. Best of all? It's on sale for $20 for a limited time.
Accessories are the easiest way to transform even your simplest travel outfits into Pinterest-worthy looks, and this timeless straw bag will add beautiful texture and charm to your packing list for only $22. While the exterior is decorated with a woven rattan fabric, the interior is lined with one large primary pocket along with a smaller pocket for belongings you'll want to keep more easily accessible. It's fitted with a zipper closure to keep your belongings safely stored inside. It's the perfect pick for an impromptu day at the beach or pool, as well as any other activities you have on your travel agenda.
Bermuda shorts may not be everyone's favorite look, but there's no denying that the resurgence of this trend is ideal for avoiding chafed legs during walking tours and travel days. From denim to cargo, the fabric options are practically endless, and this lightweight jersey pair strikes the balance between sporty and chic—and they'll take up virtually no space in your suitcase.

JetBlue posts smaller-than-expected loss as U.S. demand recovers
(Reuters) -JetBlue Airways on Tuesday posted an adjusted loss for the second quarter that was smaller than Wall Street expectations, helped by cost cutting measures and recovering demand for travel in the U.S. Over the past month, larger peers Delta and United have signaled that bookings are starting to stabilize, though at lower-than-expected levels, pointing to an uneven recovery. In April, JetBlue joined several major airlines in pulling its 2025 financial forecast, citing uncertainty tied to the Trump administration's sweeping tariff policies and federal spending cuts that weighed on consumer travel. "Demand for air travel improved as the quarter progressed, resulting in significant strength for bookings within 14-days of travel, as well as for peak travel periods," said Marty St. George, JetBlue's president, adding that the momentum continued into July. However, the carrier said it expects third-quarter revenue per available seat mile (RASM), an industry metric commonly known as unit revenue and a proxy for pricing power, to decline between 2% and 6%. It also renistated its 2025 unit cost forecast and expects it to rise between 5% and 7%. The carrier reported an adjusted loss of 16 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, compared to analysts' estimate of a loss of 33 cents apiece. Operating revenue was $2.18 billion. Analysts, on average, were expecting $2.28 billion, as per data compiled by LSEG. Sign in to access your portfolio

Florida history: The rough, bumpy road that became Dixie Highway, spawning modern tourism
Editor's note: This story by former staff writer Barbara Marshall originally ran Jan. 14, 2016. It has been edited for updating, length and clarity. One hundred and 10 years ago, Dixie Highway began to spawn today's tourism industry. Beginning in 1915 and for decades afterward, "The Dixie" was the artery that delivered the tourists who became residents, transforming America's last frontier into a balmy, palmy middle-class paradise. In towns such as West Palm Beach, Dixie was the main drag where courthouses and businesses were built. Dixie spawned theme motels, juice stands and wacky roadside attractions. A rough, rutted road For intrepid tourists and adventurers at the dawn of the Automobile Age, a trip south on "The Dixie" was a grueling, often dangerous journey. Much of the road was a rutted sand track through Florida's piney woods and coastal scrub. It could take 10 days to two weeks to drive on a Tin Lizzie's narrow tires from Chicago to Miami. Coming into Palm Beach County, Dixie followed the dry ridge that Flagler's railroad crews had surveyed two decades earlier. "The FEC had taken the high ground, so basically they had whatever was left," said Lake Park historian L.J. Parker. "When they came to a lake or a sinkhole, they moved the road to the other side of the tracks." Today, the road is called Dixie Highway only in certain areas such as downtown West Palm Beach. Elsewhere, it has names such as Evergreen and Poinsettia avenues in northern West Palm; President Barack Obama Highway in Riviera Beach; and Old Dixie Highway in Lake Park and Delray Beach. Despite these perils, Dixie Highway modernized the South by providing its first good farm-to-market roads while simultaneously creating the dream of a winter Florida vacation, said historian Tammy Ingram. "Auto tourism opened up Florida to middle class tourism. You didn't need a train depot anymore," said Ingram, author of "Dixie Highway: Road Building and the Making of the Modern South." The genius behind Dixie Highway Credit goes to Carl Fisher, founder of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and an early automobile enthusiast. He helped form the Dixie Highway Association in 1914 to create a reliable route to get Midwesterners down to his latest project: a mangrove swamp he was busy transforming into Miami Beach. Fisher's idea was to cobble together the country's existing north-south roads and improve them, creating an interstate highway. (He'd done the same thing earlier with his transcontinental Lincoln Highway, connecting New York to San Francisco.) His genius was persuading states and cities to tax themselves into paying for improving those existing roads. 'Not a trip for faint of heart' When it officially opened in the fall of 1915, the road came south via two meandering, gerrymandered routes. The eastern route started in Detroit and went through Jacksonville and down the Atlantic coast. The western route left Chicago, connecting Tallahassee with Orlando then continuing down the Gulf coast. Eventually, the combined Dixie Highway routes stretched 5,786 miles across 10 states from the Canadian border at Sault Sainte Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Miami on Biscayne Bay. "Before that, you had to find your own way down without maps or road signs," said Susan Gillis, curator at the Boca Raton Historical Society. Florida's torrential downpours were also big trouble for those early motorists. Yet, thousands came and stayed, starting Florida's 1920s land boom. "It was very treacherous, but that was part of the appeal," said Ingram. "It was not a trip for the faint of heart." "You left early and timed it so you were hitting major towns to eat lunch, get gas, have a place to stay overnight. You carried supplies including extra tires and gas. Wealthy people would have a driver and mechanic go with them." By 1920, Motor Travel magazine wrote that Florida "no longer lay beyond arduous and impassable sands … just around the corner from Stygian cypress swamps …" But many of those who followed Dixie to the boom did a U-turn during the bust that began in 1926. By May of 1928, Boca Raton was so desperate for tourists it erected a painted plywood camel over the road to attract Shriners headed to a national convention in Miami. A sign advertised that its new town hall (now the city's history museum) had restrooms. A month later during a Miami Elks convention, said Gillis, the city added antlers to transform the camel into an elk. Today, most of what remains of Dixie's original route through Palm Beach is Old Dixie, a workingman's road lined with thrift shops and car repair places.

Royal Caribbean lifts annual profit forecast on steady cruise demand
(Reuters) -Royal Caribbean raised its annual profit forecast on Tuesday, banking on resilient demand for the cruise operator's high-end private island destinations and premium sailings. The company, however, expects third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $5.55 to $5.65, below analysts' estimates of $5.83, per data compiled by LSEG, amid rising fuel prices. Shares of the company were down about 3% in premarket trading, after rising about 52% so far this year. The company expects fiscal 2025 adjusted profit per share of $15.41 to $15.55, compared with its prior forecast of $14.55 to $15.55.
