Last year, I traveled more than I have ever before, and I’m trying to manifest that same energy for 2024. I love to travel and find going to new places so exciting. You get to experience what it would be like if you chose to live in a different city for a while, you get to leave your problems at home, and you get to wear all of your favorite wardrobe pieces you’ve been saving for a great vacation. I mean, what’s not to love? The key to great trips, however, is planning well and packing strategically. You want to make sure you’re bringing the right things and are thinking about what you will actually need and use on your trip, not what you might have a last-minute urge to wear.
With all of the traveling I’ve done, I have gotten pretty good at packing smart, but that’s not without help from some travel essentials from Nordstrom and Amazon that I swear by. Since I want to make sure your travels go as smoothly as possible you save yourself from overpacking unnecessary items, I’ve rounded up the travel essentials that have changed the game for me.

Is it normal to remember how good a stranger’s car smelled nearly a year after taking an Uber ride in New York City? Until I had the experience myself, I would have argued that it was somewhat abnormal and that the thought wouldn’t cross the mind of anyone without “beauty editor” in their job title. I, however, am a beauty editor who spends countless hours in the company of fragrances in all forms, from reed diffusers to soy wax candles. Car fragrances set themselves apart from others, as they provide an olfactory experience wherever you and your vehicle go.
To help you find the best car fragrance for your preferences, I’ve rounded up 10 car fragrances from six popular beauty brands, including Diptyque and Glasshouse Fragrances, based on endless five-star reviews from the customers and my go-tos. Be forewarned—once you slip one of these around the rearview mirror or into the vent, there’s a good chance you’ll refuse to settle for less. I’m still 100% thinking about my Uber driver’s Jo Malone Peony & Blush car fragrance.
I have a confession: Lately, I’ve been binge-watching pack-with-me videos on TikTok. As a beauty editor, I especially love seeing which skincare, bodycare, makeup, and wellness essentials everyone is packing in their carry-ons. TikTok is an aesthetic-driven platform (see old money, balletcore, and night luxe, among others), so naturally, I’ve come across numerous trendy aesthetics in these videos. And since holiday travel is almost upon us, I decided to curate a list of beauty essentials you’ll need for your travel depending on which TikTok aesthetic speaks to you most. (It should come as no surprise that all the balletcore and wellness products are calling my name.) Keep reading to see what I think you should pack this season based on your TikTok aesthetic.
Harsh truth coming at you… Fashion people have many wonderful attributes—e.g., the ability to adopt “risky” trends, discover rising brands,and curate capsule wardrobes—but packing pragmatically for a vacation is not one of them. Even the most devout minimalists can find that it’s easy to transform into a maximalist once it comes time to crack open the suitcase. After all, who hasn’t overpacked before? Ahem, guilty as charged. It’s a common travel mistake, but it’s one that I’m personally hoping to avoid as I prepare to travel in the coming days. If you clicked on this article, I’m guessing you, too, are planning a trip to Tuscany, Italy. Whether you’ll be exploring Florence or heading to the Chianti countryside, chances are you’re stressed about choosing what to wear while you’re there.
Luckily, you’re not alone, as I’ve been grappling with choosing what to pack for a trip in the region for almost two weeks during the fall. In an effort to serve my self-interest and hopefully help you, I did extensive research to identify the best items to pack for a long trip to Tuscany. Taking into account the region’s climate, cultural dressing norms, and wearability, I was able to narrow down the packing list to 20 items that are worth the luggage space. Plus, I shopped out each of the key items from contemporary and luxury brands to ensure you look like a local who owns their very own villa in the countryside. Note: You don’t have to pack every single item included, but this list is a great starting point for deciding what to pack and even what to purchase for a trip to Tuscany. Buon Viaggio!
If there is one thing I love it’s all things western. Cowboy boots, bourbon, horses, you name it – I’m into it. So when Lone Mountain Ranch reached out to me and wanted to have me come check out their property in Big Sky I couldn’t have said yes fast enough. Not only was I going to get to live out my Yellowstone fantasy but I was going to get to plan a few western style outfits to wear in Montana, music to my ears.
Lone Mountain Ranch really took everything into their own hands planning out an entire itinerary for me and several other women visiting the ranch for the ranch’s annual “Cowgirl up” week. Which is a week designed for women to come alone or bring friends for a week filled with horse back riding, wine tasting, archery, axe throwing, fly fishing and of course visiting the national park. With my itinerary done already for me all I really needed to worry about was what I was going to wear. After digging through tons of inspo from my favorite costal cowgirl influencers and tons of old Wrangler and Ralph Lauren ads I packed my bags and headed to the West.
Once I got there I immediately fell in love. It was my first time in Montana and I was expecting to think it was beautiful but I have to admit I fell hard. I’ll definitely be back soon. Staying on the ranch was like a dream, I met so many women who have been coming to this exact week on the property for years with other women they met on their first trip. There we’re best friend duos, mother daughter duos, and other solo travelers like me, many of whom I would consider friends after the week we had.
While I was there 5 of my outfits stood out amongst the rest. From the looks I wore horseback riding to my outfits for our dinners keep scrolling to see which 5 earned me tons of compliments on my trip.
Amazon’s next major shopping event is here. Amazon Prime Big Deal Days run through October 11th, and it includes major discounts across product categories including fashion styles, beauty tools, home décor, and so much more. Since I’ve become an avid traveler over the last couple of years, I decided to curate a selection of travel items perfect for all the jetsetters out there.
As a fashion editor, I love finding the balance between pretty and functional, so you can expect practical, useful items that are easy on the eyes. Some highlights include a deeply discounted carry-on suitcase, portable garment steamer, TSA-approved toiletry containers, and handy packing cubes.
Last week, I was lucky enough to fly to Scotland and spend seven days exploring Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Luss (a small village on the shores of Loch Lomond). The weather was just what you’d expect it to be. Five out of the seven days were dark and gloomy with pelting rain and blowing wind. While I normally wouldn’t mind that weather—in fact, I’d embrace it—I knew I’d be spending a lot of time outside, and I wanted to look somewhat put-together.
Luckily, I checked the weather before leaving, so I was prepared. Before boarding my first flight, I assembled what I consider to be a pretty epic beauty edit. I packed a skin-soothing face mask to prevent travel-induced dryness and irritation. I packed a humidity-resistant styling product to keep my hair smooth and shiny despite the rain. I even packed a lip-plumping-and-conditioning duo, because I knew I wouldn’t be wearing a lot of makeup, and I at least wanted my lips to look full and hydrated. Basically, I gathered the finest fall beauty products and put them to the test, hoping they’d hold up to rain, wind, and sweat. And guess what? They did.
Okay, I admit that headline makes it sound like taking a vacation in Greece was such a burden and I just had to make do with a carry-on suitcase. What a tough life I lead! When in reality, I’d been planning, plotting, and scheming for this trip to happen all summer and when it finally did, I had the outfits curated and ready to go.
I find that with any trip long than five days, packing in a carry-on turns from the no-brainer choice to something more akin to sartorial Tetris wherein each item needs to fulfill a multi-outfit prescription in order to earn its coveted place inside my suitcase. In other words, for this ten-day, multi-island Greece trip, every single piece I packed inside my Away Bigger Carry-On needed to be highly versatile and very repeatable, down to the accessories like sunglasses and jewelry. No room for stragglers here. Between fancy dinners and nights out dancing in Mykonos to exploring cove beaches and traditional Greek villages on a four-wheeler in Paros, my lineup had to do the work of being both elevated and casual and I’m pleased to say I had little to no packing regrets this trip (save for leaving a pair of beloved ballet flats in a Mykonos hotel room, but I digress).
Here, I’m outlining my ultimate Greece packing list that should serve as your framework for any trip to the country or its Mediterranean neighbors, quite frankly. Happy packing!
The phrase “fashion power couple” is the first thought that comes to mind when describing Rachel Besser and David Perry. With Besser as a Vogue contributor and fashion director and Perry at the helm of his namesake jewelry label, the duo has a pulse on what matters in the fashion world. While they each have their own unique and inspiring personal styles, their vibes often mesh, focusing on outfits that feature forward staples and elevated basics. This results in the two gravitating toward similar pieces on the regular.
On that note, the couple recently vacationed in Europe and actually shared many pieces to maximize suitcase storage. For the most part, the shared pieces fell in that basics category to easily mix and match.
Below, you’ll uncover the specific items Besser and Perry wore throughout Europe, complete with visual inspiration. There are also shopping recommendations if you’re interested in adding a fresh piece to your own wardrobe.
The first time I met Paige DeSorbo I knew she was my type of girl. The two of us share a friend in common, model, podcast host, it-girl and DeSorbo’s cast mate on Bravo’s hit show Summer House,Ciara Miller. After a dinner one night Ciara and I went to have a drink in the West Village where we were greeted by DeSorbo, her boyfriend and fellow Bravolebrity Craig Conover, and several other of their friends and cast mates. Paige was exactly how you would expect her to be, well dressed, hilarious, and extremely easy to talk to. It’s no surprise her podcast Giggly Squad, which she hosts with comedian and friend Hannah Berner, is as popular as it is. The duo has sold out several live shows nationwide and has amassed quite the listenership.
Over the summer I saw DeSorbo take a European adventure to Italy and while watching her instagram stories of gorgeous views, stylish outfits and plates of pasta I figured, she’s gotta have the best packing hacks in the game. DeSorbo rose to popularity not only for her hilarious confessionals and witty one liners on Summer House but also because of her strong sense of personal style. Paige has this very New York, elevated-yet-fun, way of dressing that people can’t seem to get enough of. With her busy schedule filming for Bravo, recording for her podcast, hosting for Amazon, and much more I knew Paige was the person to ask when it came to items that make packing / traveling that much easier. Plus I’ve always wanted to pick her brain about her personal style.
So I tapped DeSorbo for tips on developing her own sense of style, what she’s loving right now, and of course the travel items she swears by. The best part – a lot of them are surprisingly affordable.

Where do you get your style inspiration from?
Honestly, my biggest style icon is my mom. I’ve watched her go through different stages in life and I’ve always been very obsessed with how she stays so true to her personal style but in different age ranges. She’s always my final word on if I like something or not and her style is very classic chic but also a little bit trendy. I feel like that would describe mine as well. I love Wearing trendy things and out of the box things that people are like, “what? she doesn’t look good.” I like that.
What trends right now?
I’m also loving that just a white tank top is a full outfit. I think that is just the best thing ever because you really only have to think about what you’re wearing on the bottom. Trends recently have been very jewelry focused and I’m very into that, because I feel like it’s such an easy way to change up one outfit with changing out your jewelry.
How would you describe your personal style?
I think my personal style is always changing. I’m not just saying this because the Barbie movie just came out, but I feel like sometimes I am a Barbie. I’ll wake up one day and be like “Oh my God, I’m feeling very grunge, I’m feeling a cargo pant and sneakers” and then the next day I might wake up and be like “I think I want to look like I’m going to a law office” and I want to wear tweed. So I think every day I’m a completely different person in. It all depends on my mood.
What kind of things do you consider or take into consideration when you’re dressing for camera or when you’re going on tour for your podcast?
When I’m on tour with Giggly squad, I always have girls asking me “What are we wearing to the show?” And I tell them, whatever you would wear out on a girls night out is what I would recommend wearing to a Giggly Squad live show. That’s the vibe of our shows, it’s like you’re out with 3,000 of your closest girlfriends and you’re getting drinks with them. But for myself, I think I get a little glitzier and a little more glam for Giggly squad since I’m on stage.
I definitely think about which certain things that will look really good on camera. I think a pop of color is really good. I go against my own brand in the summer and I try not to wear a lot of black on camera that is my one thing because I think I wear it so much all year round, but I really just switch it out and I wear all white all summer.
I’ve never been a blue girly. for whatever reason this summer I’m very into light blue. I also think brunettes look good in blue. I feel like blondes have, said that they’ve claimed blue, but I feel like we brunettes can also dabble if we want to. Also, Asta Resort has really great bathing suits and bathing suit cover up. So I’ve been really obsessed with them for a year now.
I picked this free people white mini dress because it’s at a great price point and I know linen is so hard to wear in the summer because it gets wrinkled so easily, but it looks just so cute and effortless. It gives me that “Sofia Richie vibe” when wearing an all linen outfit. I thought this little dress was easy to wear on vacation or even as a bathing suit, cover up. But you can also pair it with heels, wear it out or pair it with sandals to wear to lunch. I just think there’s just a lot of things you can do with a simple white linen dress.
Another thing that I never used to gravitate toward is a little kitten heel. I used to say, “you’re either wearing a flat or you’re wearing a high heel – grow up.” I’m not sure what happened but as I’m getting older I am obsessed with the kitten heel. I wear them the most with pants but I also think they look so cute with a little sundress and I think it elevates your outfit. Figuratively. And literally just the switch, with two inches on your heel. It’s hard when you live in New York, you walk so much so you’re not gonna put a big heel on but some days I’m like, “I can’t show up in a flat.”
I bought a bag Two years ago in Italy. And I was like I’ll never use it but I’m buying it because I’m here and I use it all the time. I think Little bags are so cute to wear. Specifically to pack and bring on vacation. They will go with any swimsuit or sundress but they’ll also go with your nighttime looks. My number one pet peeve is taking all of my things out of one bag and putting it in another. I hate doing that. So when I go on vacation or I’m packing for a weekend or something, I like to bring bags that I know I can use with multiple things so I don’t have to constantly swap the contents of my bag from one to the other.
I’m a big packing cube girl. I think packing cubes honestly makes it easier for me when I get home from a trip because I know what’s clean, what’s dirty, What needs to be put away, what’s in each section. If you’re like a girl that really stresses out about her outfits, it’s really easy to pack each outfit in a cube. I mean, you could go as far as labeling them, I’m not opposed to it. I just think packing cubes are key for the anxious girl who’s traveling, it helps you feel at ease.
By far the best handheld steamer I’ve ever gotten. And I feel like I go through at least one handheld steamer a summer, and this one is by far the best one I’ve ever had. I brought it to Italy with me. I unfortunately burnt it right up by plugging it into the wrong outlet and was so distraught that I ordered another one immediately. But It is seriously one of the best ones and so easy to pack, and I just think a staple.
I think everyone needs just a good beach bag each summer. it’s a good way to switch up your style and also I don’t think beach bags are just for the beach I think they’re cute as an everyday tote. I chose this one because it works for the beach or for when I head back to NYC.
These are so good for flying. You never have to use airline headphones ever again. You just plug it right in, connect it to your headphones and you can watch on the airplane. It makes it really easy to watch something on your iPad or laptop with two people.
This is life-changing. If you’re a person who has big tote bags and is traveling this is for you. It’s so easy to just pick it up, put it in a different bag and then everything is organized. You never have to rummage through your bag, to look for something and if you’re traveling and you have a long travel day you need a lot of things during that day. This gives everything in your purse a home and it lives so perfectly in there. You can also change the size of them, so you can get smaller sizes. But you can take things out, make it skinnier and They’re just so good. I don’t know how I lived without one.
This is a very Barbie tangle teezer. I think they’re like a British brand, I’d gotten one in a PR package and then once I started using it I told everyone about it and realized they were on Amazon. I never used to be a girl that brushed my hair either which is a weird thing. I just like, never really brushed my hair. I would say and in the past, two years. With tiktok and everything, and everyone’s Rosemary oiling their hair and other home remedies for hair care I got into brushes more and more. This one is just the perfect travel one, plus it’s cute. Using it feels almost like a head massage. It feels and it’s comparable to those really super expensive brushes But not even half the price.
I’m on a plane a lot, and my skin will get really dry. And trust me – I’ve tried all the creams, I have all the lotions. But the Youth To The People superfood air-whip moisture cream is the moisturizer I’ve used for I don’t know five years now and it’s really the only thing that ever saves my skin when I get off of a plane. I don’t know what it is about it. It’s just the deepest moisturizer without feeling oily or clogging your pores or breaking out the next day and I just think it’s the best moisturizer when you’re really really dry.
Like everyone else I am very into sunscreen these days. We love SPF. I honestly think that these really are the best sunscreens plus the cutest packaging and they’re so easy to just throw in your bag.
When I would travel I used to just rely on the mirrors that were in hotel rooms to do my makeup. and you know, I love the bed. So if I can sit in the bed and do my makeup, without having to go into the bathroom that has horrible lighting – then that’s what I’m gonna do. So I love a portable mirror. No more bad lighting in bathrooms or having to sit on the floor. Now it’s like you have your own mirror sitting wherever you want. Find your lighting and you’re good to go.
I think everyone needs just a good beach bag each summer. it’s a good way to switch up your style and also I don’t think beach bags are just for the beach I think they’re cute as an everyday tote. I chose this one because it works for the beach or for when I head back to NYC.
If all goes to plan, I’ll be arriving at Milan Malpensa Airport in exactly 30 days, where I’ll return 10 days later after I’ve sunned my way through the Italian Riviera—with stops in Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli, and Portofino—and shopped my way through Milan. Everything’s booked for our time actually inItaly. All I have left to do beforehand is pack my suitcase, which is proving to be the most time-consuming aspect of the trip by far.
As much as I’d like to bring a trunk full of potential outfits, including accessories, shoes, and handbags for every possible occasion, between the plane and train rides, checked-baggage fees (not to mention risks), and the fact that my boyfriend is bringing nothing but a backpack (typical), I’ll have to do with just a carry-on. Luckily, I’ve become accustomed to packing light, even for long, international trips that involve multiple stops and a variety of different dress codes. So really, the only hard part is figuring out what sort of look I’ll be going for and which items will bring my vision to life.
Below, scroll through the items that I think will do the trick.
The first skincare expert I had the pleasure of connecting with to learn more about the best skincare practices for traveling was celebrity facialist Cynthia Maria Crawford. Her work can be found on the most recognizable faces of Hollywood, including the likes of Olivia Wilde, Barry Keoghan, Jenna Ortega, and Ana de Armas. “Try not to switch up your skincare routine too much while traveling—keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun (even on the airplane),” says Crawford. “Stay hydrated! Drinks lots of water and electrolytes before and drying a trip. make sure to use products that balance and hydrate your skin. A great cleanser, serum, toner and moisturizer and SPF is all you need! Keep it simple!”
Discover Crawford’s biggest skincare recommendations below including a brightening vitamin C eye cream, a refreshing collagen-infused toner, and ultra-hydrating SPF.
I’ve always been an overpacker, so when I booked a three-week trip to Europe this summer, I decided it was time to change my bad habit. I was heading to London, a small town in the French countryside, and then to a few towns along the French Riviera, so I needed to pack a variety of outfits fit for everything from the city to the beach. To streamline the packing process, I laid out everything I planned to take at least a week before my trip and then revisited them to edit things down. After trying on every single item and attempting to create different outfits with each, it became clear which pieces could be worn multiple times and which would only be worn for one hyper-specific moment during the trip.
Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to packing for a summer trip, especially if you’re going to multiple locations like I was. I prioritized the pieces I could create multiple outfits around and am proud to say I nailed it this trip. For the first time, I actually wore every single item in my suitcase. However, I noticed there were a few items that I wore over and over again in every location I visited. These were the backbone of my vacation wardrobe, and I would’ve been lost without them. Now that I know how much mileage I got from these, I plan to build future packing lists around them. From oversize button-downs to linen pants, these are the versatile vacation clothes that will always have a spot in my suitcase.
This summer has been my “season of not staying put,” as my family likes to call it. Without even realizing, I have somehow planned a trip every weekend and booked over a dozen flights—and its only July. I’ve flown from California to Copenhagen and everywhere in between, and while it’s been so much fun to travel, quite frankly, I’m exhausted. Flying definitely takes a toll on my health, but I’ve curated a routine that has kept my wellness in check all summer long (*knocks on wood*). My carry-on is stocked with digestive aids, immune support, hydration essentials, and sleep accessories that make red-eyes more manageable. I’m certainly no wellness expert, but I swear the following items have been complete lifesavers. Keep scrolling to shop the products I can’t travel without.
Though I’m totally obsessed with living in New York, before I moved here to the Big Apple I used to live in Los Angeles. I went to fashion school at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising right in Downtown Los Angeles. So and every now and then I get the itch to sit on the beach and have Mexican food that’s actually good, I know it’s time to book a trip. This summer my sister and I swapped the humidity of summer in the city for Erewhon and dry heat and packed our bags for L.A.. Once the flights we’re booked the next step was obviously to plan all of my looks for the trip. With so many of my favorite L.A. spots on my list and so many old friends to rekindle with I wanted all of my outfits to be perfect for each and every occasion.
After lots of research on Instagram digging for outfit inspiration and scrolling for hours on my favorite retailers websites, I think I did a pretty good job. Half of the trip I spent in Hollywood at the chic smaller hotel next to The Thompson the very California Tommie Hollywood which was perfect for all of the nearby restaurants we wanted to hit before heading back to New York. The other half of the time we were staying in my old stomping grounds at the AC Hotel by Marriott Downtown Los Angeles, which was perfect for catching up with my old friends from college who still live near our old FIDM campus. Over all on my whole trip I had 5 outfits that stood out among the rest, and gained me the most compliments by far.
Keep scrolling to see which looks I wore in L.A. made the top 5.
I’m the type of person who loves to get away. Whether I’m heading to the Hamptons for a weekend with friends, traveling to Los Angeles (my second favorite city), jetting off to Europe, or taking a staycation in New York City, if there’s a chance to get away, my answer is almost always “yes.” Recently, I opted for a staycation at The Edition, one of my favorite hotels in New York City. I felt like a tourist in the city I lived in, and I think sleeping on their massive cloud-like beds and showering in one of the dreamiest showers ever definitely played a part.
While packing for my staycation, I realized there are certain products I’ve purchased from Nordstrom that I’d never travel without, even if I’m only going one neighborhood over. These beauty products and fashion items are my holy grail. And trust me, I’m a tough critic when it comes to my essentials.

The art of crafting an outfit for a long flight is exactly that—an art. Obviously, comfort is priority number one given that you could very well be sitting for 10, maybe even 20 hours, depending on where you’re headed. There’s also utility to keep in mind. We love to travel with a crossbody bag or fanny pack for this exact reason—not to mention packing space and, of course, style. Sure, you could wear pajamas (preferably the fancy, feathered kind) to the airport, but with so many designers transitioning to a more comfort-driven aesthetic during the pandemic, there are plenty of fashion-approved alternatives that look elevated and are soft and flexible like your go-to sleepwear.
To ensure that your in-flight experience is on par with your destination, we found 12 outfits that are sure to have you looking and feeling fresh, despite the 10-plus-hour flight time, and we called on two frequent flyers for their tried-and-true tips.
The set features wide-leg, drawstring pants and a matching white halter top and is just as cute for any summertime activity as it is for a 10-hour train ride through Upstate New York and into Canada. For proof, see how I wore it to the Miami Grand Prix. Even after it got muddy at the track, I bleached it and it became like new again, further proving to me that it’s an ideal travel companion. Ever since I wore it in Miami, it’s accompanied me on every trip I’ve gone on, garnering over a dozen questions about its origins in the process.
Unfortunately, just after I got back from my latest trip in the set, ready to convince the world that they needed to buy it too, Zara’s annual sale started. And just like every time it kicks off, many of the best items included in it sold out lightning quick, two of which were my beloved linen halter top and drawstring pants (before I could buy it in black as well). Of course, I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for a restock, but in the meantime, if you happen to be heading off on a long trip in the next few weeks and have similar nervous feelings about your outfit for the journey, I went ahead and found a just-as-good alternative that’s not yet out of stock at the Spanish retailer. Shop the next best thing and more worthy travel sets below.
Even though I’ve written plenty of stories about packing over the years, I don’t always practice what I preach. Packing isn’t my forte, and I typically find myself scrambling at the last minute to put together appropriate outfits, which inevitably leads to panic shopping. The problem with panic shopping (besides stress and high express shipping costs) is that you generally only think about this one occasion instead of considering longevity and what you need in your wardrobe. Needless to say, it’s not the smartest way to spend your money.
Finally, I decided to change my ways and make a concerted effort to plan ahead by stocking my wardrobe with versatile, packable pieces that work for various locations I may travel to. Since slowly adding these pieces to my wardrobe, there’s been a noticeable decline in last-minute panic shopping on my part. So naturally, I thought I’d share my list of travel-friendly purchases in case you, too, are guilty of the same. Scroll to shop in advance of your next trip.
As someone who cares about packing cute things for trips but also wants to be comfortable and appropriately dressed for the weather, I have a lot of trouble packing for climates that call for warm days and cool nights. It’s common weather for this time of year, especially in certain parts of the world, and when I’m faced with that, I used to overpack and still not have the right clothes. So I finally decided to do something about it.
I thought long and hard about what items would be the most practical, versatile, and chic for trips with warm days and cool nights. Since then, I’ve tried to shop for these items since I’d also wear them outside of vacations. Since I don’t think I’m alone in thinking this type of climate is a predicament, I’m not gatekeeping my list. Below, you’ll find a list of the essentials you need for your next trip, along with my favorites in each category. You’ll thank me when your next weird-weather trip rolls around.
