Packing for a trip is never easy. Fitting everything in my closet into one tiny bag is definitely impossible, so I spend days narrowing down the best options. Somehow, I always end up taking loads of clothes I never end up wearing. After years of perfecting my packing routine, I've learned it's all about versatility, like having a jumpsuit you can take from day to night or a top you can wear with jeans or a skirt. Not only does it save you room in your bag, but it also helps you get the most for your money.
To help you pack for your next vacation, we went on a mission to uncover the absolute best travel clothes you can buy right now. These pieces are great for several occasions, and they're also comfy and affordable. From flattering dresses to tops you can wear after your getaway, there's no doubt you'll fall in love with some of the choices we found. Ahead, you can shop our 54 favorite pieces for Summer. The best part: prices start at just $20, so you don't have to feel bad about splurging on a couple new things. Keep reading to check out our hot picks.
