***Shopping list:*** Matching sets are a 2025 style star. Embrace the promise of fall in this versatile top and shorts in clay, polished off with bold accessories in warm tones. Top and shorts by ReBoot, each $78.

Hitting the road or the skies this summer? Peg Woolverton of The Market & Mainly Shoes on South Palafox in Pensacola has some tips.

“Keep the colors at a minimum and pack items that can be worn in multiple ways,” she suggested.

Scarves can be wraps, skirts can be dresses, infinity dresses can be wrapped and twisted to create multiple looks, jeans can be dressed up or down, even loungewear (aka PJs) can do double duty. Flowy dresses, uber popular in 2025, are up to the task of making a pretty travel statement, day or night. Simply change up the accessories to dress up or down.

Cross-body bags and sneakers are on trend and perfect for traveling in comfort and safety. And of course, don’t leave home without a pair of statement sunglasses.

Wide-leg jeans and pants are showing up in denim, linen, cotton and washed silk this summer. You can’t go wrong with tanks, midi skirts and white jeans.

If you’re staying in Florida all summer, Woolverton has suggestions for staying fresh and comfortable despite the sweltering heat:

“Wear loose-fitting clothing in natural fibers.”

***Shopping list:*** Pack this pretty satin nightgown in blush, $85, by PJ Harlow when traveling to look and feel your silky soft best. Add a tulle-banded cardigan, $90, in cream by Only Hearts for extra polish.

***Shopping list:*** Feeling feminine and funky? Pull on these pink velvet Marra Kech capri pants, $290, and team with a versatile Michael Stars top in cement, $78. Finish off the look with silver sparkle and shine accessories.

Travel can be internal or external.

Taylor Bowles transports her energy to new realms when she collects seashells from her happy place, the beach, and transforms them into new works of art. When on a road trip, Bowles loves to try out new restaurants, savoring the new tastes as well as sites along her path.

“There are so many places I haven’t been, I would enjoy going almost anywhere,” she said.

“Traveling across the world is always something I have wanted to do. Italy is one of the top places on my list, but I would love to go anywhere new to experience different lifestyles and cultures.”

In the meantime, the Pace High and UWF criminal justice graduate loves to stay active.

“Hotworx is my current fixation, but I enjoy going to the gym too.”
