If you've ever started to pack for a trip only to realize that you're missing something but it's too late to order anything, I can completely relate, and I'm here to offer some support. There's a good chance that you've already booked spring trips, so it'd be wise to think ahead. Three of my favorite brands to shop for chic travel pieces are J.Crew, Reformation, and COS, all of which have tons of spring pieces stocked right now.
When planning what I'm going to pack for trips, I prioritize comfortable, polished items that won't get too wrinkly and take up tons of suitcase space. Since I work from home, trips are my excuse to be my best dressed self, so I have fun shopping for them too. These three retailers are really checking all of the travel-related boxes for me with the coolest denim, walkable shoes, outerwear for every occasion, basics, and everything else you'll need for your spring travels.
Scroll on to start shopping J.Crew, Reformation, and COS with me.
