As someone who tends to panic-shop right before a trip, I can confirm that it isn't wise and typically leads to a lot of unsuccessful purchases. For my summer 2024 travel , I opted to plan ahead a bit more than I usually do and have made more successful, smarter purchases than I usually do as a result. So far this season, I've traveled to Paris , Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Asheville, and next, I'll be heading to the beach and Seattle. As you can see, my destinations have all been quite different and have required different wardrobes, but I've managed to invest in some items that work for almost any destination.
Because sharing is caring, I'm divulging the travel-friendly items I'm referring to, which I may have purchased for a moment in time but, in many cases, will wear and use for years to come. Scroll on to shop the items that I already vetted for you.
Reformation Olina Pants
I snagged these perfect pull-on pants on sale.
Rhode Pocket Blush in Piggy
This compact blush is perfect for a travel bag. My go-to shade is Piggy.
Posse Emma Vest
This is the best linen vest IMO, and the hue is especially elegant.
Sweatfleece Airy Terry Perfect Hoodie
I purchased this hoodie for the long flight to Paris and found it to be the perfect weight and fit.
Augustinus Bader X Sofia Coppola The Tinted Lip Balm
Another smart pre-Paris purchase that I now want in every color.
Madewell The Darted Barrel-Leg Jeans
Given how comfortable and perfect these are, I'm not surprised Madewell can't keep them in stock.
Loop Quiet Ear Plugs
These stylish ear plugs will drown out all the flight noise.
H&M Short Trench Coat
Paris is chilly at night in June, so I packed this lightweight trench.
Patchology Eye Gels Patch
These magic patches work wonders on tired travel eyes.
Staud Alba Ballet Flats in Tan Netting
I think I've worn these more than any other shoes this summer.
