An upcoming trip breeds a long to-do list; and while planning your vacation wardrobe can be one of the more fun aspects of the prep, the actual packing is less than thrilling. The realities of luggage restrictions can put a damper on the most well-laid travel plans, and it takes skill to find pieces that are as functional as they are fashionable. We’re here to smooth out at least one part of this process, with a deep dive on the best travel accessories out there.

Our edit begins with a few necessities. The right toiletry bag can make the difference between sailing through security and scrambling to reorganize bottles and brushes. The same goes for a jewelry case; to prevent arriving to a tangle of tiny chains and mismatched earrings, a well-organized system sets you up for success. (On the topic of jewelry, we recommend picking easy-to-mix pieces in durable, tarnish-resistant metals.) In fact, we love handy holders for all sorts of objects: card cases, phone straps, even perfume and lip balm cases now come on stylish leather lanyards, doubling as practical tools and stylish accessories all in one.
Then, we’re taking a look at seasonality; right now, that includes packing bulky cold-weather layers into already-tight luggage space. Make sure your fall accessories can do double duty—ditch the skinny scarf for a large cashmere wrap or bandana, which you can cozy up in on the plane but easily style at your destination. Packable hats, like beanies, knit bucket hats, or foldable fur-trimmed caps tuck easily into a bag, and you’ll want to keep an eye out for tech-touch gloves to make the transition from cold cab ride to pulling up your boarding pass as seamless as possible.
Below, all the best travel accessories to tick off your checklist before your next trip.
