You can’t wait for your next summer adventure yet you’re feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what to pack. You want to make sure you don’t forget anything and have all the essentials with you to enjoy a memorable trip. In our experience, there are eight essential items to pack to ensure fashionable travel, wherever you go, and here is our list:
1. Backpack or Cross Body Bag
Large enough to carry your wallet, passport and any other travel essentials, this is perfect for summer on-the-go travel. We recommend a cross body tote or backpack to give you easy and stylish storage for whatever you bring.
2. Silk Scarf
This small item can make a big difference to any outfit. We love scarves with rich color and intricate designs. You can tie the scarf to your purse for a pop of color or wear it in your hair for a classic, polished look. This timeless piece is easy to pack and will give any outfit a touch of elegance.
3. Surplus Jacket
In case cool weather arrives, a military surplus jacket is great for layering. This soft, lightweight piece can be thrown in a bag and serves as a stylish alternative to denim or leather jackets. We recommend wearing this jacket in a neutral color for effortless coordination with any outfit.
4. Striped Top
Break away from solids and embrace tops with patterned designs. We especially love tops with nautical stripes. This design is easy to wear and will fit in any setting while traveling. Adding a simple pattern is a perfect way to enhance your travel wardrobe.
5. Comfortable Sneakers
If athletic shoes aren’t for you, flat sneakers are a stylish and comfortable alternative. We suggest wearing lace less, slip on shoes for easy movement and comfort. From walking through airports to sightseeing in cities, these sneakers are essential for any travel activity.
6. Hat
As a classic summer accessory, you can never go wrong with a hat. We encourage wearing a neutral colored floppy hat or a white fedora. Not only do these hats protect you from the sun, but they also add an element of flare and sophistication to any day-time look.
7. White Jeans
Replace your blue jeans with a pair of crisp white denim pants. White jeans are a classic summer staple and look great with any top. However, white jeans have the potential of becoming dirty and faded. We recommend bringing two pairs of white jeans in your suitcase to maintain your fresh summer look.
8. Jersey Dress
Wish to stay feminine and stylish with ease during your travels? We can’t leave out of our essential items to pack a jersey dress. Jersey dresses can be thrown in a bag or backpack without wrinkling. They are easy pack and even easier to wear. Select dresses with bright colors and funky prints for a fun, flirty look.
