Travel Faves

By Carry-On Couture

Items I can confidently recommend!

When traveling abroad, skip the voltage converters which are bulky and don’t work that well anyway, and bring a “dual voltage” appliance instead!

I'm always searching for the "perfect" travel pant, and I've found a good one for you today!  The perfect combination of "trouser-ish" with just a touch of "athleisure".  They come in regular, petite, and tall.  Possibly my favorite thing:  a wide, flat waistband that is buttery soft and holds you in for all-day!  They dress up or down with a swap of shoes, which means your day-to-night transitions are effortless.  And, they’re washable, so if you need to do a little sink laundry when traveling, these will wash well and dry quickly.  I found these to run large, so you may want to size down.

Carry-On packing Dilemma…The Suit! (Or any clothing item that needs to be kept hung nicely and wrinkle-free.) Introducing this two-in-one bag which makes packing effortless. The hanging compartment can fit a suit or tux and a handful of dress shirts, then zips up to create enough space for a full load of folded clothes (plus shoes). Perfect for wedding travel or business trips. Garment compartment keeps suits, shirts, dresses wrinkle-free. Interior shoe pockets fit up to a size 13 shoe.  Carry-on friendly for most domestic airlines.

Possibly the most versatile item in your travel capsule!  This gauzy material means the wrinkles are built in.  Wear it alone as a blouse - tucked in or knotted at the waist, wear open as a lightweight outer layer, or wear as a swimsuit cover-up.

THESE PANTS!  If I had to pick my favorite pant for warm weather travel, it would be these lightweight crepe pants.  The material means the wrinkles are built in!  They dress up or down with a swap of the shoes, which means your day-to-night transitions are effortless.  And, they’re washable, so if you need to do a little sink laundry when traveling, these will wash well and dry quickly. 

They come in 1) slim fit crop, 2) slim fit ankle length, and a 3) high waist - slim fit ankle length.

I get asked this question all the time!  “What suitcase do you recommend?”  There are so many options when choosing a carry-on suitcase, and the most important is size!  If it’s too big, it will not qualify as a carry-on.  The next most important thing,in my opinion, is how much the suitcase weighs EMPTY!  Some bags claiming to be lightweight weigh 8 lbs or more!  That’s too much when every ounce counts!  These 3 carry-on suitcases I know personally, and can recommend without hesitation.  Are there fancier, more beautiful bags out there?  Yes, but when choosing a carry-on, looks take a back seat!

Here are all of my favorite travel accessories for packing toiletries.

The perfect white blouse for travel!!   So soft, it is the most comfortable white button down I own.  I love it for travel because it drapes nicely and is incredibly versatile -plus, the wrinkles are already built in!  I wear it alone as a button blouse, open as a lightweight outer layer, as a bathing suit cover up, and even as a pajama top!

It’s difficult to recommend “the best” pair of sneakers considering all of our feet are different, and the fact that I haven’t tried every shoe out there.  I do feel confident, however, in recommending my 3 personal favorites.  At least it will give you a place to start on the hunt for your very own favorite sneakers.

Since you asked….here they are, my favorite “WATERPROOF” rain coats!  I personally own all of these coats.  There is even an insulated option, and I love the winter white color for my spring and summer trips.

As a tribute to 2023, I have compiled my Top Eleven Travel Items (I couldn’t limit it to only ten).  

These are the items that came along with me on every trip.

The boots were a winter addition, and will be a staple for all the cold wet trips in my future.

My Top Eleven Travel Items of 2023

I wish you all a Happy New Year and look forward to more packing adventures in 2024!

Wow!  So much interest in these boots from my Germany travel capsule wardrobe!  Since you asked…here they are!  I wore these for 10 days straight and walked all over Germany in rain, ice, slush.  Yes, a bit of a splurge, but worth every penny!  

#LTKtravel #LTKover40
Wondering what to look for in a winter travel coat?  Insulation is nice if you need a really warm option, but an outer shell that you can layer under will work, too.  It MUST be waterproof…and CUTE!  I’ve narrowed it down for you.  These are my top 4 winter coats for travel, and remember…if it’s bulky, you’ll be wearing that baby on the plane!

When you need a SERIOUS winter coat, this one has got it all!
