With your vacation days approved and your dream hotel booked, all that’s left is packing. Putting together your travel essentials can feel overwhelming—especially with airline baggage rules—but it doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need endless specialty items; just a few versatile staples that work for long flights and weekend getaways alike. Start with the basics: a sturdy checked suitcase and a sleek carry-on roller.

Vogue Editors’ Must-Have Travel Essentials:
– The Checked Suitcase: Tumi wheeled packing case, $1,395
– The Convenient Carry-On: Béis The Carry-on Roller, $295
– The Roomy Overnighter: The Row Idaho leather-trimmed tote, $1,690
– The Chic Toiletry Bag: Gucci Ophidia cosmetic case, $520
– The Jewelry Organizer: Mejuri travel case, $88
– The Passport Holder: Smythson Mara passport cover, $255
– The Travel Pillow: Slip Jet Setter travel pillow, $120
– The Stylish Pet Carrier: Delsey Paris Chateley Air 2.0 pet carrier, $220
– The Hydrating Hand Cream: Chanel Le Lift la crème main, $76
– The Comfy Travel Tee: Uniqlo mini T-shirt, $15

From there, tailor your list to your travel style. If you prefer short trips or pack light, opt for a compact weekender or a travel backpack with smart compartments. If “traveling light” isn’t in your vocabulary, invest in organizers like packing cubes and toiletry bags to keep things tidy.

Don’t forget in-flight comfort essentials—think silk eye masks, cashmere blankets, and memory foam neck pillows. If you’re traveling with a pet, a sturdy yet stylish carrier is key (and noise-canceling headphones are a lifesaver if you’re seated near someone else’s furry companion). Our list also includes handbag must-haves and effortless airport outfits for a polished travel experience. Plus, these pieces make great gifts for frequent travelers.

Keep scrolling for Vogue’s top travel essentials, from luggage to in-flight accessories to easy, stylish outfits.

### The Checked Suitcase
For longer trips, a spacious checked bag is essential. Brands like Rimowa, Tumi, Away, and Carl Friedrik offer durable options in medium and large sizes—look for sleek aluminum or polycarbonate with interior compression for long-lasting use.

– Carl Friedrik The Large Check-in suitcase, $545
– Tumi wheeled packing case, $1,395
– Away large suitcase, $375

### The Carry-On Suitcase
Avoid checked bag fees and tight layovers by sticking to a carry-on. Compact rollers with spinner wheels and telescopic handles make airport navigation effortless—bonus if they expand for extra space.

– Rimowa cabin suitcase, $760
– Antler carry-on luggage, $395
– Béis The Carry-on Roller, $268

### The Weekender Bag
Perfect for quick getaways, an oversized tote or designer duffle is ideal. Soft fabric makes these bags easy to stash under seats or in overhead bins.
