Pro tip: get the heck out of NYC on long weekends. If your Memorial Day plans—which hopefully begin with a Summer Friday, the greatest invention of all time—involve hitting the seaside, might we suggest a few items to pack?

The simplest way to pack for a weekend away is to pick a simple color story and stick to it. In honor of the sea, we've selected dusty blues, sandy neutrals, and the requisite nautical stripe (or two). Click through our gallery for a breezy skirt from The Reformation, brilliant tote organizers by Bags in Progress, and a waterproof camera. Beached in your apartment all weekend? Spritz some Davines' Sea Salt Primer in your hair and fake the vacation.
