The Road Trip Edit: What to Pack
Tossing your weekender into a wide-open backseat beats stuffing it into an overhead bin. (The extra space is reserved for road snacks.) When it comes to packing for a road trip, apply the golden rules of carry-on curation: Aim for efficiency, wear accessories while in transit, and avoid overpacking at all costs. To spark your sense of adventure, we created a pair of packing lists that each balance ease and aesthetics.
THE PARK-HOPPER
From top (a desert-hued hat) to bottom (better-than-dad’s-sneakers hiking shoes), stick to a tonal palette and practical layers—as the day heats up, peel them off. A button-down is clutch here: Wear it open over a one-piece and shorts by day and as a light jacket after sundown.

THE SEA-SEEKER
A rose-colored romper works both over a bikini—undo a few buttons to show off the top—and for dinner on the porch (cinch the belt, slip on slides, and add earrings that catch the setting sun). Play it up with an oversize funnel-neck sweater perfect for beating the sea breeze.
