More often than not, Travel + Leisure’s editors are on the road. Whether we’re visiting a new hotel, attending a conference, or reporting from a sports event, one thing remains the same: we know how important a travel outfit is. Here, Travel + Leisure editors share the one accessory they swear by for feeling good—and looking good—at the same time.
Hermès Silk Scarf
Hermès
I love to tie an outfit together with a little silk scarf around the neck; it feels very polished and European. For that, you can’t beat Hermès—especially in a fun, colorful print that shows some personality. They couldn’t be easier to pack, so I’ve started a small collection, ready to be paired with any vacation look. — Nina Ruggiero, Senior Editorial Director
Sunglasses with Prada Logo
Prada
No matter the temperature outside, a pair of good sunnies is a must for me. I’m always drawn to a tortoise pattern on a frame, but it’s the green lenses on these Prada shades that really stood out to me. It adds such a fun pop of color to any outfit, no matter where I am in the world. — Jess Feldman, Special Projects Editor
Burberry Waterloo Trench
Burberry
I always keep a trench on hand for layering. It instantly pulls any look together, whether I’m exploring a city or heading through the airport. Based on the weather, I rotate between a Pinko trench I found in Milan, a Proenza Schouler herringbone coat, or an Alice + Olivia leather trench. And when in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a classic like the Burberry Waterloo. — Susmita Baral, Senior Editor
Cassandre Claw Clip in Hammered Metal
FWRD
While my travel outfits may shift depending on the destination, one thing remains: a chic claw clip to keep my hair out of my face. I love this one from YSL because it’s such a classic shade of gold and generally matches any outfit. It’s also very sturdy, so whether I’m lifting my bag into the back of a taxi or the overhead bin on the plane, my updo is secure. — Maddie Hiatt, Senior Social Media Editor
Brushed Leather Loafers
Prada
Loafers are my go-to when I need to elevate a travel outfit. They’re comfortable, beyond chic, and go with everything. The high quality leather and chunky soles on this Prada pair not only add a little something extra, but make them extremely durable. Plus, nobody does leather like the Italians. — Alessandra Amodio, Digital Photo Editor
Birdy Watch
Shinola
Magazines led me to believe that, in adulthood, it would be important to assemble outfits that transitioned seamlessly from day to night. But, you know what’s actually more important? Knowing what time it is—especially when you’re bouncing through timezones. I’ve been wearing this Shinola watch for six years, and it’s still in perfect condition. It functions both as a beautiful accessory—classy without feeling ostentatious—and, frankly, a travel security blanket. And as a bonus, it does transition well from day to night. — Maya Kachroo-Levine, Senior Editor
Les Cles Bangle
Hermès
I leave most of my jewelry at home when I travel, except for a pair of narrow enamel bangles from Hermès. They pair as nicely with a sweatshirt and jeans as they do with an elegant ensemble for a night out. I personally love the more colorful and whimsical designs—which come in an ever-rotating selection of motifs, like jungle themes or the brand’s iconic chaine d’ancre—but the bangles are also available in bright and neutral solids, if you want to create an even more versatile stack. — Skye Senterfeit, Deputy Photo Editor
Original Cabin
Rimowa
My Rimowa suitcase is a bit beat up, with little dents and digs from taking it everywhere, but that’s exactly what makes it still cool. It is an iconic luggage design that has many imitators—but nothing beats an original. — Denny Lee, Articles Editor
Persol Polarized Sunglasses
Persol
The right pair of sunglasses can do wonders, and I’m a fan of the classic Persol silhouette. My own polarized pair is from a limited-edition run, but I’ve also had my eye on the Steve McQueen 714s, which are equally at home on a sailboat, in a convertible, or in seat 1A. — Paul Brady, News Director
