25 Items I Purchased for Travel This Summer That I’ll

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.

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.

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.

These stylish ear plugs will drown out all the flight noise.

Toteme

Double-Breasted Cotton Jacket

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.

Polo Ralph Lauren

Cushion Quarter Socks

Travel is a great excuse to buy new socks.

Peony makes the prettiest swimwear in the game.

Shop the matching Holiday Pant ($100).

iPhone 15 Portable Charger

I’ve tried so many portable chargers—this one’s the best.

DÔEN

Paulette Tee in Nantucket Stripe

I feel like I’m going to pack this for every single trip.

Triomphe Oval-Frame Tortoiseshell Acetate Sunglasses

This versatile sunglasses are the only pair you need to pack.

Nesugar

G3 Portable Travel Steamer

She’s as chic as she is effective.

Agolde

Parker Long Clean Denim Shorts

I’m such a fan of these shorts that I now own them in three different washes, and the black ones are my latest acquisition.

Naghedi

Large Jet-Setter Tote

This is the most stunning travel bag I’ve ever owned, hands down.

Guest In Residence

Checker Baby Tee

I’ll wear this throughout the fall too.

If you’re petite like me (I’m 5’4″), you need these pants.

Ancient Greek Sandals

Saionara Jelly Sandals

These are the shoes that convinced me to start wearing flip-flops again.

Ribbed Off-the-Shoulder Top

Isn’t she cute (and affordable)?

The only hairstyling product I’m packing for the foreseeable future.
