Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors' curation of the must-know items they can't stop thinking about.
Summer is here, and so are summer vacations. Your flights are scheduled, your hotel is booked, and your dinner reservations are secured—all that's left to do is pack. If you struggle with this part, you've come to the right place.

And because you've probably already shelled out enough cash for your vacation, every piece here is under $200.
