Vacation Style Quiz Results

If you answered mostly As

You love traveling to foreign countries, using the local language, eating the local cuisine, and discovering what makes that culture tick. It doesn’t matter how far away–in fact, the farther the better ’cause that means you really got away. You don’t want to stick out a like a tourist so when you’re in Paris, you wear scarves, when in Brazil you wear barely-there dresses and Havaianas.

Whatever country you’re dreaming of right now, dress like it! That said, there are a few traveler’s best friends: a stylish blazer (never know the weather when you’re out all day but, still gotta look cool), chic but comfortable loafers for day-trekking, sexy pumps for nighttime fun, and sophisticated lightweight scarf (somehow makes you look more local).

Zara

Zara‘s a no-fail solution for your style.

If you answered mostly Bs

  • You enjoy activities whether it’s beach volleyball, golfing, boating, or hiking. Just about anywhere is a good destination for you so long as there’s room to play frisbee and isn’t too far away.

If you answered mostly Cs

  • You are a beach babe and live for your time soaking in the rays, feeling your feet sink into warm grains of sand, and lying on your back in the saltwater as the lull of the ocean rocks you. Naturally, you have several bathing suits already, so focus on some multi-purpose dresses. Those that can be thrown over your suit by day and paired with heels by night.

If you answered mostly Ds
