Dragging around vacation essentials in overstuffed carry-on luggage can be annoying and cumbersome, but the Neverfull Tote makes it effortless, and chic to boot.

Calvin Klein
Battle ever-changing weather conditions and overzealous summer air-conditioning with a lightweight coat—a must even for warm-weather travels.

Guerlain
Between dry air, stress, and dehydration, traveling can take quite a toll on your complexion.
