Whether you’re packing for a quick getaway or an extended trip, there are some apparel items that are a must for your suitcase. Before you jet away on your next vacation, follow our tips for clothing staples for every traveler.
Sunglasses
If you plan to spend time outside, sunglasses are a necessity. Besides being comfortable, sunglasses protect your eyes from damaging rays.
Sweater or Sweatshirt
Even if you’re visiting a warm destination, it’s essential to pack some sort of sweater or sweatshirt you can wear if the plane is cold or if you visit a venue with strong air conditioning.
Dark-Wash Jeans
Unless you plan to attend any event or attraction with a dress code, a nice pair of dark wash jeans are perfect for transitioning from day to night looks. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Levi’s.
Plain T-Shirt
A classic t-shirt can be dressed up or down, depending on where you travel. Invest in a well-made version of this versatile item to stand up to multiple wears.
Slide-On Shoes
For ease at the airport and aboard your flight, invest in a pair of shoes you can easily slip on and off. Vans, Sanuk and Toms offer great options.

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
