15 Vacation Wardrobe Staples That Could Skyrocket In Price

Footwear prices are climbing across the board, sandals included. With tariffs on shoes hitting up to 40%, that classic pair of flip flops could feel more luxurious than casual.

Lightweight accessories are no exception. Many are imported from Asia and now face tariffs of 25–40%, according to economists. Expect beach bag prices to leave you shaken, not stirred.

Sheer, stylin’, and summer ready, but they’re often imported and tariff burdened. Suddenly, that “I’m on vacay” look could mean “I’m paying more.”

The gear you’d wear for a surf session or reef snorkel usually comes from low cost manufacturing hubs. Those rash guards are now in the same tariff swim lane as fast fashion, heading upstream in price.

Whether you’re cruising the Amalfi Coast or poolside in Miami, linen sets are summer staples. But they’re primarily sourced overseas, and Italy, too, is slapped with a 20–30% tariff under this bill, so that dreamy two piece might not be so dreamy later.

From walking days to casual dinners, vacation sneakers matter. And with footwear imports spiking in cost, your trusty slip ons could cost a good chunk more.

Summer hits big for families, not just scenic ones. United Way warns kids’ clothes made abroad could see 50% price hikes. So that playful romper set might cost way more.

Cool, sunproof, and chic? Essential. But when your bucket hat is suddenly imported and tariff-laden, protecting your skin becomes far more costly.

You know, the effortless piece that transforms into beachwear or dinner wear. With classic wrap skirts bearing hefty import duties, you’ll feel that charge before happy hour.

Teen summer fashion matters too, especially on beach days. Unfortunately, teen boardshorts, commonly made in Vietnam or Bangladesh, won’t escape the 37–40% tariffs, meaning your teen’s packing prep just got pricier.

Parents, brace yourselves, little dresses and swim skirts are doubling down on cost hikes, thanks to import tariffs and supply chain cost squeezes. That cute closet haul might hit $36 for a $24 outfit.
That carefree vacay wardrobe? It’s getting caught in a tariff storm. As the One Big Beautiful Bill Act reshapes retail pricing, your $25 shorts might unsettle you at $35. But take comfort, by planning ahead, shopping smart, and supporting local, you can still head off season feeling stylish and savvy.

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill isn’t just rattling Congress, it’s threatening your closet. From tax shifts to trade shakeups, this sweeping reform could disrupt the fashion industry at every level, from designers to Temu enthusiasts. Here’s what to expect in 2025 and beyond.

The Trump backed OBBB Act is shaking up fashion retail. Its push for domestic sourcing may raise costs, shift supply chains, and change how mall brands operate, from pricing to product lines. Here are 12 that might look very different soon.
