Happy Wednesday, Ladies. It's time to get it in gear for the holidays. If you have travel plans on your schedule, you will want to have your travel outfit ready, plus luggage and helpful travel accessories to help streamline your new adventure. Today, it's the essentials for traveling in comfort and style for the holidays, plus gift guides to inspire your gift-giving for the traveler in your life.
Many of us travel with smartphones, cameras, tablets, laptops, and all the cords that keep us powered up. It's no fun to have your phone run down its battery with no backup plan. Tech accessories are a must in the 21st century. A zip pouch will make your life easier by corralling everything in one space. One tote that always comes with me, whether it's by plane, train, or automobile, is the mighty Longchamp tote.

Let's not forget to travel in comfort yet with one eye on style. An oversized white shirt, pants, and sneakers are the perfect outfit for airport travel or simply casually bumming around in your destination city. The Brooklyn or Endless pant are my go-to's for comfort, especially for a long flight. When the weather is cool, a puffer jacket comes in handy. I'm mainly pulling from The Gap's Athleta line today. It's comfy, casual, and stylish: the essential travel combination.

Beth, wonderful post! You’ve introduced me to quite a few products that I wasn’t aware of. I’ve purchased Athleta clothing however, I haven’t really taken notice of the Brooklyn or Wander pant before. With you modeling them I am really considering them. This is one of the reasons I love your blog so much. You help bring great products to me ! Thank you. Have a great week!
So glad you enjoyed the post.
I love my Longchamps tote but I only use it if I don’t have to carry it! It holds a ton of stuff which, of course, makes it too heavy to lug through the airport. When traveling by air I rely on only bags I know I can easily carry or roll through busy terminals .
I only carry it on board if it’s zipped. But I love to take the expandable Longchamp tote on trips I know will include shopping. The extra space created with just a zip comes in handy. Then the tote turns into a suitcase! Otherwise, there are so many Longchamp totes to choose from that don’t have the expandable option.
I have this tote, too. I bought it in Paris as soon as I saw it, but didn’t think it through. It gets way too heavy when expanded. I never use it when traveling by plane, in fact, I hardly ever use it.
You can’t go wrong with a Longchamp tote that comes in several sizes. I love to bring this one on my travels as it serves as an extra suitcase on the way home
if I’ve been shopping and have extra items to pack without going over weight.
Thank you Beth for your great tips throughout the year! I would never wear a white button up shirt when traveling for several reasons. First, I’m sure I would spill drink or food on it. Second, I would find it very uncomfortable to travel in. Give me a dark knit top!
Great choice for travel, Dottie!
