I love spring break, and not just for the nostalgia of some epic trips in the past with friends and, more recently, family. It's a great tradition because you can turn it into any kind of trip you like. You could just as easily chill on a beach in Florida, Puerto Rico, or parts farther flung as you could squeeze in your last ski trip of the season or beat the summer crowds to Europe. Below, we've mapped out four possible destinations and editor-approved looks to pack for each. Choose your own adventure, and don't forget to slip the latest issue of ELLE in your personal item. —Sara Austin, executive editor |
