You've been waiting all summer — all year! — and it's finally time. You're going on vacation! Maybe you're traveling to a different state, to the Caribbean or to the Mediterranean. Maybe you're even heading down under to Australia or getting ready to explore Iceland. Wherever you're going, you're going to need to pack carefully!
Traveling means you can only bring a small amount of clothing and other fashion essentials with you, so you'll want to take into account every activity, from the plane ride to the long days away from your hotel or Airbnb. We've picked out 21 pieces below for all of the top travel activities!

On the Plane
1. Our Absolute Favorite: Start off comfy — and move through the security line swiftly with our picks! Planes and airports are chilly, so you'll want to wear this Kirundo crew-neck sweatshirt!
2. We Also Love: No one wants to sit for hours and hours in a pair of tight jeans. Check out these Felina velvety-soft leggings for your trip there and back!
3. We Can't Forget: Always remember to travel in shoes you can slip on and off easily. These laceless Lugz sneakers will look cute with your sun dresses too!
In the Water
4. Our Absolute Favorite: You made it to the beach — or the pool! Take a dip in the sparkling blue waters in this Eomenie monokini!
