I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A linen jacket you can throw in your suitcase, your carry-on bag, or wear on your human person to beat that chilly airplane air conditioning. It goes with everything, and reviewers love it for keeping warm even in more tropical climates!

Quince

Promising review: "Iadore this little cropped jacket. Very lightweight. Perfect to throw on in the summer when the evenings get chilly or the wind picks up. Know that it is unlined. Particularly love the working buttons around the base hem of the jacket. I can tighten up a bit if I want the jacket to land on my waist or return to other buttons if I want it to land more on my hips. Real pockets, too!!" —SABRA S.

Price: $70 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)

2. An elevated cashmere tee because no matter where your travels take you, having a chic tee in something other than polyester is ALWAYS a good packing life choice. This one gives you a slightly snuggly put-together look without pushing you into overheating territory, but can also be layered if you're headed somewhere brrr.

Quince

Promising review: "Gorgeous powdery blue color, and the material is so soft. It is a versatile piece that can easily get dressed up or be worn more casually." —JENNIFER

Price: $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL in 12 colors, and in plus sizes 1X–3Xin nine colors)

3. Aweather-proof oversize rain jacket, so no matter what the sky is up to when it comes to precipitation, it's not going to rain on YOUR parade. Get ready to look back on your vacay photos and think, "What a cute jacket!" instead of, "I look like a wet labradoodle at the groomer."

Quince

And yes, you do need those bike shorts and that bra, too. They'll take up zero room in your suitcase. 

Promising reviews: "This coat is lightweight, but great quality. It’s perfectly oversize, so I have room to wear a bulky sweater under it. It also covers my hips and butt perfectly. The sleeves also have hook-and-loop fasteners so you can cinch them if wanted!" —PALOMA

"I purchased this oversize weatherproof jacket for my trip to Italy. And I am not disappointed at all!It’s a perfect fit, the color is beautiful, and it’ll pack up perfectly. I love this one so much, I’ll be purchasing another one in green for my daughter!" —DOREEN S.

Price: $80 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors)

4. Alinen scoop neck midi dress that can do double duty as a casual hangout/walk to the cruise ship kinda fit or be dazzled up with accessories for a night out on the town, wherever in the world you find yourself!

Quince

Promising review: "This is literally my favorite dress. Dinner plans? Perfect. Back to school night? Throw a cardigan over it and a cute pair of sandals. Country concert? Pair with a jean jacket and your fav boots. I wish this came in more colors in the plus sizes... Would love a black, navy, or cute print." —LIZ

Price: $84 (available in sizes XS–XL in 14 colors/prints and plus sizes 1X–3X in four colors/prints)

5. A cropped cardigan that you'll be so happy you brought along because you *know* it's going to be freezing cold in that theater/restaurant/museum, no matter what the thermometer says outside. Beat those sneaky chills with this snuggly, easy-to-throw-in-your-tote cardi!

Quince

Promising review: "I bought this sweater in navy and love it so much. I also bought one in gray and another in black. The quality of the knit is the best I have ever bought. I pair the sweater with wide-leg high-waisted pants and a button-down for a professional, casual go-to outfit." —Cara H.

Price: $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors)

6. Or an oversize cardigan for that longer look that's perfect for keeping yourself at the ideal temp across planes, trains, and automobiles.

Quince

Promising review: "This cardigan is better than expected. I sized down from an L to an M with plenty of space to spare. I planned to save for a trip, but it’s so comfy I have been wearing it around this house. Perfect for chilly mornings." —AMY W.

Price: $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors)

7. A European linen short-sleeve shirt, because camp fashion deserves a spot in your travel wardrobe with this cute collar-and-buttons silhouette. I LOVE mine as a light layer in the Texas heat, and will button it up for a base layer in cooler temps, too!

Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed, Quince

Honestly, I am SO impressed with Quince! I had *heard* good things, but now I am HOOKED on the quality and the classic styles that don't feel like "fast-fashion" trends that will go out of style the minute the wind changes. And yes, I highly rec the perfect-for-travel-and-matches-everything shoulder bag, too. 

Promising review: "A classic shirt. I love it — the material, the fit, the look. It fits true to size and goes with everything." —Ann F.

Price: $36+ (available in sizes XS–XL in 11 colors/prints, and in plus sizes 1X–3X in seven colors)

8. A pair of relaxed straight jeans, because sometimes all you need to revitalize what you *already* have in your suitcase is a classic pair of denim that will make you feel AMAZING. 🤩

Quince

Promising review: "I have a lot of trouble finding jeans that fit, and these are perfect. There is a good amount of stretch, so they are comfy too." —Jenny N.

Price: $50 (available in sizes 24–33, four inseams, and six washes)

9. A gauze roll-sleeve shirt you'll turn to so often on your journeys, you'll wonder how you didn't buy this years ago. Perfectly paired with pants, shorts, or skirts, this stylish shirt is a classic for a reason: It goes with EVERYTHING!

Quince, Quince

Promising reviews: "This is the best shirt ever! So lightweight and comfortable — I was looking for work shirts, and this is it! Great quality, too! Love the oversize look!" —Tiffanie

"Wore this on a recent Florida trip and it was the perfect spring piece. The color is bright and cheerful, and the gauze fabric was ideal for travel." —Bernadette S. 

Price: $39.90+ (available in sizes XS–XL in eight colors and in plus sizes 1X–3X in three colors)

10. A scoop-neck tee if your old standby has those weird, tiny holes around the seams, and it's time for a major upgrade without breaking the travel budget. Wrinkle-resistant with a smooth finish, say goodbye to the old and hell-o to the new.

Quince

Promising review: "They are very luxurious and feel like a higher-end garment." —Maureen S.

Price: $16 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors)

11. A sleeveless linen swing dress, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and this has been a faithful on-the-go capsule staple since your grandmother's time for a reason: It's cute, easy, and oh-so-summery.

Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed, Quince

Yep, there's thatadorable shoulder bag again, too. (Goes with everything.)

Promising review: "Could not wait for this dress to arrive, and when I was notified that it was at my door, I ran out, got it, ripped it open, and tried it on. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!! I hope you never stop carrying this classic style. I plan to add several more to my wardrobe in the coming weeks." —Debra

Price: $64+ (available in sizes XS–XL in 13 colors/prints and in plus sizes 1X–3X in seven colors/prints)

12. A pair of European linen pants if you love the look of pants, but not the sweltering heat. These will keep you cool, comfy, and timeless without robbing your travel-fund piggy bank in the process.

Quince

Promising review: "My absolute fave linen pants! Amazing quality lightweight linen that I wear year-round in South Florida! I have them in seven colors. Do yourself a favor and buy a few pairs today!" —Heidi C.

13. Or a tapered ankle version so you can show off your cute (and comfy!) platform sandals at home and abroad.

Quince

Promising reviews: "Love these so much. They’re comfortable, easy to style, and don’t look sloppy like some linen pieces can. The tapered fit makes them look more put-together. Great value for the price." —JHANSY

Price: $42 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors/prints)

14. A smocked maxi skirt so you're ready for picnics and brunches in far-off places at the drop of a hat. Everyone needs a floaty skirt in rotation for their travel looks, and reviewers say this one is the perfect weight and length to earn a spot in your suitcase.

Quince

Promising review: "I can’t say anything bad about Quince. Everything I’ve purchased has been a hit, but I had to take a moment to rave about these overalls! They were delivered yesterday, and I immediately had to wear them today and have already been complimented. These are stunning, comfortable, and true to size. Will be a closet staple for hopefully years to come." —Laurel

Price: $69.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)

Price: $36 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors)

Quince, Quince

Promising review: "I love these shorts. They have the perfect inseam length. The material feels light and not scratchy. The waistband is thick enough to provide support without cutting into the skin." —Willa O.

Price: $32+ (available in sizes XS–XL in 10 colors/prints, and in plus sizes 1X–3X in five colors/prints)

19. A cotton tiered maxi dress, because there's no such thing as too many dresses when it comes to versatile packing. This one has some interesting tiered dimensions, but it is still ULTRA packable since the ruffly design means you won't need to fight with the hotel ironing board.

Quince

Promising review: "Nice dress for lounging, shopping, or going out for a meal. It can be dressed up with the right jewelry or scarf." —SANDRA B.

Price: $59.90+ (available in sizes XS–XL in 10 colors/prints, and in plus sizes 1X–3X in two colors)

20. A linen blazer so you can have an "I'd be the man" moment on your work trip without sweating to death. Made of linen, but fully lined in cotton, you have all the structure of a heavier blazer without it weighing you (or your suitcase) down in warmer temps.

Quince

Promising review: "It’s a perfect casual linen blazer. Not too structured, but structured enough to still look good and polished." —Kelly K.

Price: $90 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors/prints)

21. A pair of stretchy wide-leg jeans as timeless as your favorite throwback playlist. Inspired by the '70s, this curve-hugging, cropped silhouette has endured the test of time for a reason: It's a banger here, there, and everywhere.

Quince

Price: $59.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors)

23. A collared camp shirt to level up your on-the-go shirt game from "meh" to "majestic!" The sleeves are designed to elegantly drape down without strangling your arms (doubly un-fun in hotter weather), and the buttons add a put-together flair with zero effort on your part!

Quince

Promising reviews: "I have been looking for a similar shirt for months, but never expected to find this quality for such a reasonable price. This was my first purchase, but definitely won't be my last." —Janet T.

Price: $36 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors)

24. An ultra-soft cropped tank to wear beneath your linen jacket or all on its own! Or it can be a great pajama top option that also functions as an on-the-go base layer, and that's just genius-level packing, tbh.

Quince

Promising review: "This is a super soft and cozy bralette/tank. It's not quite supportive enough for most of the exercise I do, but it is perfect for lounging around, gentle walks, and is super cute and comfy. Looks great with matching leggings too." —EMMA

Price: $29.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors)

25. A pair of vintage-wash utility shorts with a drawstring closure so you can be sure to get the perfect fit to go with your perfect 'fit. P.S. — they'll go GREAT with your new camp shirt!

Quince

Promising reviews: "Soft, flowy shorts. Breezy material is great for warm weather. Breathable." —Elysse

"They are very comfortable shorts, easy to slip on, and pair with a shirt for a cute beachy outfit. They do get a little wrinkled, but a quick spritz of water smooths it out." —Abby H.

Price: $29.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors)

26. A washable silk mini skirt for days that call for a touch of elegance without all the hassle of a rushed, last-minute trip to the dry cleaners before a big trip.

Quince

Promising review: "This is the perfect little skirt! I originally got the black and loved it so much I had to get the champagne, too. The fit, cut, and length are all perfect. It feels luxurious and high quality. It’s super easy to dress up or down." —Camilla A.

Price: $59.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors/prints)

27. A denim chore jacket that is basically the perfect topper to any of your outfits, no matter the vibe you're working to achieve for the trip's photo album. 

Quince

Promising review: "This jacket is SO cute. It’s a much cheaper version of the Will jacket from a certain French company I love. It fits well. Worn all over Portugal for spring and was the perfect weight for 60-degree days." —Erica

Price: $60 (available in sizes XS–XL and three washes)

28. A linen vest for throwing over one of your fave new dresses to add a little sophisticated ~spice~ to it.

Price: $52 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)

Quince

Promising review: "Love the ribbed turtleneck! What a find for me. Fits well and washes well. Have reordered numerous times. Has become part of my 'basics.'" —JANICE J.

Price: $24.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors)
