Whether you are planning a summer getaway to coastal New England or a trip to Europe, it’s the perfect occasion for a versatile and stylish travel capsule wardrobe. I put together this curated packing guide of essential pieces that are both chic and functional. Imagine effortless outfits that transition seamlessly from beachside strolls to wandering city streets, ensuring you look (and feel) fabulous no matter the destination.
I have used this packing list for years and it keeps me in check and helps me not overpack! I believe the key is to have a wardrobe with pieces that can be mixed and matched to create fresh looks without needing a new outfit for each day.

What to Pack
Preparing for an extended trip can feel daunting. My secret is to organize my packing around a color story. Building a capsule wardrobe allows for effortless mixing and matching of pieces. By sticking to basic items complemented by a few vibrant prints, patterns, and colors, it becomes simple to create diverse outfits. Below is a glimpse of what I packed for our upcoming European adventure.
