Heading out on a family vacation is always an exciting adventure and creates wonderful memories that last a lifetime. It's the prepacking that drives me nuts. Not only am I responsible for washing and packing what I want to bring along (plus, let's be honest, packing my husband's things), but I also need to get the child on board with what I'm packing for her, too. I love letting my daughter dress herself, which allows her personality to shine on a daily basis, but when you're heading out to visit family members, it's nice to have clothes that look cute and have high matching potential. With the following Spring items from H&M, you're set for any travel location or agenda.

Easy pants
Easy-fit pants are a go-to for any occasion, whether it's walking the pier or going out for dinner. The neutral color means they match with everything, even cool sneakers and long-sleeved cotton tops. Don't forget to remind your child to pack all the other essentials, like socks and undies!

Graphic tees
I love stocking my daughter's drawers with playful graphic tees that effortlessly mix and match with any bottoms she's selected. Plus, you can layer during chilly Spring evenings with a soft cotton cardigan or make a statement with a denim jacket. The fact that everything pairs together so well gives you back so much precious packing time and makes it easy for every outfit to look effortlessly stylish.

Cute staple dress
A cute patterned dress in comfy jersey can be dressed up or down with white sneakers or suede shoes. Add a glittery shoulder bag and you have a storage spot for small toys or colored pencils and a mini notepad that let her write notes and color wherever you go. When every item is this adorable, it's easy for her to pack all her favorite items together and get ready for vacation!

Colorful pants
Brighten up his collection with durable slim-fit pants that stretch along with him. They work with white sneaks and make everything look great, even basic cotton t-shirts.

Button-down shirts
You can pick up one or several, but adding classic button-down shirts to your child's closet lets him grab and go for vacation looks that feel very pulled-together. A straw hat is a great touch, especially if you're headed someplace sunny, while a sweatshirt jacket keeps the evening chill away. Don't forget his favorite go-with-everything slim-fit jeans. What's great is everything folds down small so it easily packs up in a tote, letting your child carry his own bag.

Chino shorts
Shorts are a must in Spring, letting legs jump in waves or run up mountains. You'll also want cool sneakers that are made for play and printed tees that make it easy to pack and put together outfits later. When you stock up on basics in solid shades, everything works together, giving him so many ways to wear his favorite things.
