When you go on a tropical vacation, you can travel really light. These 7 items are all you need for a sexy capsule wardrobe. Bring along some detergent as well so you can have clean sexy clothes every day of your tropical holiday.

The trick here is to pick pieces that go with everything else you in your capsule wardrobe. Swimsuits that double as bodysuits or tops. Tops that go with everything. Skirts that go with everything. Not to forget something a little dressier for restaurants which require you to observe a proper dress code.

Before we start, pick your color scheme. What colors look best on you. Pick 2 or 3 colors that make you look really good, and which go really well with one another. Then choose every item within your color scheme. They could be plain, striped, or with other prints, but as long as they are within your 2 or 3 chosen colors, they should co-ordinate well with one another. By following your color scheme, all your tops and bottoms can be mixed and matched with one another for a variety of sexy looks.

Here are the items in this capsule wardrobe

#1 Swimwear. Your swim suit or bikini. This is the backbone of your beach wardrobe. When you are not swimming, it can double up as a bodysuit or a top that would go beautifully with your skirts. You can go from the beach to the bar, by just adding a skirt. You want swimwear that flatters you though. If you have a tummy, a swimsuit with control around the middle would help hide that tummy. If you have a great figure, a string bikini would be ideal. Your swimwear is something you should go to the mall to try on yourself. Pick one that looks best on you. Check your reflection in the mirrors, from all angles. Don't trust the sales people. They are mainly there to sell you something, whether or not it really looks good on you. Judge for yourself. If you would like a second opinion, bring along a pal you can trust.

#2 A slinky dress. Something feminine that looks really good on you. Something formal enough for those places that require you to follow a dress code. A dress that you can easily roll up and pack into your bag, which emerges wrinkle free when you are ready to wear it. Or you could always hang it up in the bathroom when you take a hot shower, to let the steam smoothen the wrinkles in it. This is especially useful if you might end up going to a fancy restaurant for a meal, or an impromptu dinner date.

#3 A versatile top that suits your body type. If you have nice arms, a tank top, a strappy top or any top that is sleeveless would show off your arms beautifully. If not, go for cap sleeves or a long sleeve top that shows a little cleavage. A v-neck suits everyone. Off shoulder tops are super sexy. Pick one that looks great on you, within your color scheme.

#4 A babydoll tee. The babydoll cut is flattering and feminine. Especially as a top. It emphasises the bust, skims and slims the waist. It is feminine, but never tarty.

#5 A wrap skirt. This should match with your top, your t-shirt and your swimsuit to create different looks. After a swim, put on the wrap skirt over your bikini or swim suit, and you are ready to go for a drink, or for other activities.

#6 A sexy mini skirt for an ultra sexy look. Again, this can be matched with your swimsuit, top and babydoll t-shirt for 3 more new looks.

#7 A pair of high heel sandals that is pretty enough for the restaurants in the resort. If it is too cumbersome to wear on the beach, you can always go around barefoot. Just make sure you get a pretty pedicure (and manicure) to show off on the beach. A pair of metallic gold or silver toned sandals would be glamorous, and go well with everything.
