Our tips on what to pack—and how!
The highly awaited summer preview is finally here! Spring Break is our time to escape the winter doldrums and throw on some of our favorite new looks. Is everything you need to pack your bag and get going.
Pack Right—and Light
Don’t waste your frozen margarita money on extra baggage fees—packing a few key essentials in an organized way will mean you don’t need more than a carry-on bag. In-bag organizers help you to save valuable suitcase real estate, and they make it easier to find what you need when you arrive at your destination.
Packing Cubes Starting at $5.99
Space Case: Suitcases
A small rolling suitcase is a must for travel. Even if you aren’t flying, these cases mean you don’t have to lug your belongings on your shoulder, and their small size hides just how much they can actually hold. Pro tip: Pick one that stands out on a luggage carousel in the event that you do check your bag.

Soft Shell Roller Suitcase: $16.99
Suit Yourself: Swim Looks
Possibly the most important thing you bring, your swim look is probably what you’ll be wearing most days, if you’re lucky. A short wrap or kimono takes up barely any room in your suitcase, but it will be a lifesaver when you need to add a layer as you lounge poolside. Another key piece: sun coverage. Our pick: A wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and head. Wear it as you travel to save room in your bag.
