Packing for a weekend getaway should feel exciting, not overwhelming! Whether you’re off to a cozy cabin in the woods, a lively city escape, or a relaxing beach retreat, having a thoughtful packing list can make all the difference. The key is to keep it simple, versatile, and organized—after all, you want to enjoy your trip, not stress over what to wear! With a little prep, you can bring just the right essentials and stay stylish no matter where you’re headed. Here’s how to pack smart without sacrificing any of your signature style.

Weekender Bags

First, you’ll need a weekender bag. I particularly like bags with separate shoe compartments at the bottom of the bag, like the Lo & Sons Catalina Duffle. If carrying a weekender bag is too much, try a Weekender Bag with Wheels.
