Out of Office: The PQ Swim Edit
Somewhere warmer is calling, and this is what to pack. PQ Swim handles every piece of swimwear and cover-up in this edit exclusively: bold one-pieces that double as bodysuits under a sarong or linen trouser, asymmetric cuts, romantic tie-front tunics, and a crisp white piece that earns its own moment. This is the statement one-piece for a beach day that turns into a bar night, the white-on-white look for anyone leaning into ivory and gold, and the tunic that makes the walk from pool to lunch feel like part of the plan.

Cute Straw Hats
The hat is doing as much work as the swimsuit here. Lack of Color's raffia and straw shapes cover the everyday version, while two Loewe styles bring a more directional, designer edge for the days that call for it, from a sunset dinner to an island day trip.

Borrowed from Net-a-Porter to round out the packing list: a raffia tote from Loewe or Ulla Johnson to carry everything from the villa to the beach, a flat leather sandal from Ancient Greek Sandals or K Jacques for the walk there, sunglasses with real presence, and simple gold jewelry that doesn't need to come off at the water. Between the swimwear, the hats, and this final edit, the whole trip is packed.

Our honest take
PQ Swim's range here genuinely spans the trip: prints, solids, tie details, and asymmetric cuts that don't repeat themselves, which makes this easy to pack as a real capsule rather than eight versions of the same suit. The Loewe raffia tote is the most expensive single piece in the edit by a wide margin, so it's worth deciding upfront whether that's the splurge item or whether the Ulla Johnson version does the same job for less. The sandals run true to size and work barefoot-adjacent, which matters more than it sounds like for a resort trip. If you take one thing away, let it be that the white PQ one-piece is the single most versatile piece here, since it works under nearly every cover-up and hat combination in this edit.
