Throughout August, we’ll be shining a light on your summer style. Here’s how Vogue Club member BJ Beckwith is spending the season—and what’s in his suitcase.
What’s your essential summer purchase—and why do you love it?
Every season I’ll go to Urban Outfitters and pick out a handful of sunglasses, which each channel different moods. I love being able to plan my summer outfits around them!
Where’s a place you love to visit—and what makes it special to you?
London! For the past three years, it’s been a tradition of mine to go during the summer, whether for school or work. I love the fashion and the buzz of the city—and I always meet the most interesting people.
What’s your favorite swimwear—and the beach where you’ll be wearing it?
Not technically swimwear, but my favorite part of any beach outfit is the bag. I’ll be carrying my Pleasing mesh tote (the brand was co-founded by Harry Styles!) on North Carolina’s Corolla Beach.
What’s the one fashion item you wouldn’t go on vacation without, and why?
I’ll always pack one statement piece. This year, that’s Zara’s eye-catching flower knit top.
What’s your summer beauty staple—and why?
I just got the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, and I’m obsessed! I don’t go anywhere without it.
