Sloane Stephens' Must Haves
Sloane Stephens's Must Haves: From Body Oils to Air Jordans

Being on the road so frequently, Stephens needs a few creature comforts, one of which being the Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase ($89 - $110). "I bring it on the road with me, because you literally just have to put the pillow in it. So it's super easy. It folds, honestly, like a sheet of paper. You don't have to do anything. You literally just fold up and put it in your bag." The silk pillowcase is a favorite of editors and celebrities alike, such as Ayesha Curry, Jonathan Van Ness, and Suni Lee, because it's a little bit of luxury you can bring with you anywhere, as Stephens says, "traveling so much, having something from home is always nice."
Pro tip: The other cornerstone of her nighttime routine is a good candle. "When I light my candle, that means that it's like, this is the time, honey. You can do whatever you want to do, but you need to just close the mind and start to really tap into sleep time. So I always light a candle before bed. An hour before bed, I would say, and that's my indication of like, okay, we're heading to snooze land." When it comes to her nonnegotiables, Stephens says, "I always travel with the candle, I always travel with the pillowcase."
