The most stylish holiday destinations of 2024 – and the curated look to shop for each

Year after year, the itineraries of Scandinavian jet-setters tend to boast the same mix of familiar seaside, beach-laden and sun-soaked settings. But just as our wardrobes are beholden to the trend cycle, so is the world of travel: with each summer season bringing a fresh array of stylish global destinations to pin to the map.

In 2024, some of the top trending vacation locales comes as no surprise (read: Mallorca and the Greek islands in the Cyclades) while others are for the more intrepid traveller, from the far-flung southern coastline of South Korea to the storied Moroccan city of Tangiers.

An important note when exploring new holiday terrain: one vacation suitcase does not suit all. With obvious climate and cultural considerations aside, a city, country or even a continent can simply speak its own style language. And as many of us know, it can be that perfect dress or pair of sunglasses that make the anticipation of your holiday even sweeter – and the memories of it all the more vivid.

As your start packing, you need not look any further than Zalando as your discerning one-stop-shop for your summer holiday rotation, with a wide-ranging assortment that caters to any global setting. Read on to discover Vogue Scandinavia's run-down of the five top international spots to seek out this summer, and a hand-picked edit of the Zalando-sourced designer pieces that will perfectly suit your surrounds.

As one of north Africa's most ancient cities, Tangiers is a rich melting pot of the cultural influences it has absorbed over the millennia. Make this your destination for an unparalleled experience of bazaars, souks and kasbahs – served with a side of brilliant beaches. This is a vibrant setting that calls for an outfit with tactile fringe and tasselled finishes, artisanal crochet and colourful jewel accents.

For most, the thought of a trip to South Korea would take the imagination as far as Seoul. But beyond the country's south coastline are a scattering of islands – the most breathtaking being Jeju Island. While its volcanic landscape and fishing villages are a far cry from the capital's urban sprawl, you can incorporate the same edgy streetwear aesthetic into your vacation dressing with deconstructed finishes and streamlined statement accessories.

It's one of Scandinavia's favourite European holiday spots, and for good reason. The turquoise waters, lush green foliage and picturesque towns make for an idyllic break from reality. When surrounded by such incredible natural beauty, it only makes sense to tap into it with your ensemble: opt for earthy olive and brown tones, with woven accessories, and some gold finishes for just the right touch of Mediterranean glamour.

Picture this: you're driving, top down, along winding stretches of dramatic clifflines. Misty ocean waves to one side, rugged cliffs and forests to the other. There's a reason the Californian destination of Big Sur got the 'big' in its name: this is a majestic part of the world you'll never forget. Packing can be just as much fun as exploring the destination itself: play on the retro-tinged Americana spirit with boxy shirts and classic blue denims.

While Greece and its islands are inevitably awash with tourists come summer, Sifnos remains something of a hidden gem thanks to its remote positioning, accessible only by boat. Take inspiration from the optic white sands and bleached stone architecture with a coordinating all-white ensembles: sandals, cut-out swimsuits and handbags inclusive. Organic, shell-shaped accessories will instantly elevate the look.
