Here’s What to Pack For Your Next Vacation—So You Don't Have to Stress About It
10 things you need to travel well-prepared, and in style.
Whether you’re booked for a European getaway, jetting off to the Caribbean or you’ve got a cross-country road trip on the cards—you can never be too prepared for your next vacation.
The organized traveller is always equipped with on-the-go necessities—a sturdy suitcase, versatile wardrobe pieces, and protective sunblock to name a few—but if you’re more of an on-the-fly sort of voyager, we’ve done all the hard work for you. Below, 10 chic and practical vacation essentials to pack for your trip, from trendy luggage to travel-sized beauty must-haves.

Inspired by the tropics, Rimowa’s latest luggage collection offers a seasonally toned selection of cool mint and vibrant papaya-coloured travel essentials. Made with durable polycarbonate, this glossy green Check-In L Suitcase fits everything you’ll need for two weeks of pure vacation bliss.
