These 10 Items Are the Key to Easy Packing

It’s that time of year again—summer travel season is upon us. Memorial Day kicks off the unofficial start to summer, and if you’re anything like me, you already have your calendar planned. I have three trips booked for this summer, which I’m beyond grateful and excited for, but that means I have a ton of strategic packing in my near future. I’ll be heading to Europe (specifically the UK), the Caribbean, and then back to Europe all before August. They’re all amazing trips and all drastically different climates.

Trying to pack a suitcase that’s both stylish and practical is always a process. Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that there are a handful of staple items that always end up in my suitcase, which act as the backbone of my vacation wardrobe, and then I add a few key items specifically tailored to that particular trip. To get a head start on prepping for my summer travels, I’m making sure I have those items covered. Below are the 10 items I’m buying now to guarantee an easy packing experience, from linen pants to easy dresses and crochet bags.
