9 Things Real Girls Pack When They Travel

If you're jetting off to tropical isles, tucking items that can be layered into your suitcase is a must. And a few pretty sundresses are a versatile look for day or night.

Heading for the hills? Look adorable with your favorite jeans that also let you get out in nature and have a good time. If you're planning on doing lots of hiking, toss in a few camis and tons of comfortable tees. And don't forget a hat.

When traveling to locations with cooler temps, stick with classic items that can be worn with multiple outfits. Pack one scarf and a pair of gloves, and plan on wearing your jacket on the plane, which can be stowed overhead instead of taking up space in your suitcase.

Look like you own the city, and pack skinnies and ankle boots when heading to any metropolis. And a flowing blouse is so chic — and looks good with a maxi skirt or even cutoffs.

In drier climates, the fewer clothes the better. Pack one signature sundress along with baubles that can elevate shorts and a tee.

If you're off to the beach, a selection of suits is a must. Cutoffs, breezy layers, and a few maxi dresses are the perfect mix of easy items to toss on after lying in the sun all day. And use your beach bag as your carry-on so it's packed with all your beach essentials, leaving more room in your suitcase.

If you are off climbing mountains in a faraway land, a pretty parka or wrap sweater adds a pulled-together look to basic jeans. Aviator glasses finish the look, making you look like a true world traveler.

Even if you're heading to the woods, you can still look put together. Skinny jeans, sandals, and a few comfortable tees accessorize with scarves or cute baubles for a fun vacation.

When heading to any European beach, tossing in a patterned blouse or shirt along with comfortable walking shoes works with minis, maxi skirts, or even cutoffs.
