I Traveled All Over the World This Year—6 Staples That Made Packing Easy

It’s been another big year of travel—there were my usual trips to Paris, a record three visits home to New Zealand, two trips to Australia, one blissful honeymoon in Mallorca (plus a wedding in Grenada and a little vacation in Madrid), two quick weekend jaunts to London, two longer trips to visit with family in the Bay Area, and just a couple of quick stints to see friends in L.A. It’s enough to get you to Diamond Status on Delta, and it’s definitely enough to ensure I’ve become an absolute master of packing for every possible event and climate.

Whether I’m going to Europe or just popping to the West Coat, there are a handful of fashion staples that always come with me. The way I style them might be ever-so-slightly different depending on the weather and the vibe of the city I’m in, but these key items are so reliable they’re always the first things I pack. Whether I’m at home in New York or traveling overseas, these are the six wardrobe staples I’m never without.
