I’m a big fan of the “work smarter, not harder” mentality. As it pertains to clothes, the mantra aligns with the idea of capsule wardrobeswhich prioritize versatile staples that can be mixed and matched. If there’s any time to test out the method, it’s while you’re jet-setting. Packing is hard, but a curated wardrobe makes it easier. As such, I present you with the ultimate capsule wardrobe for traveling.
Capsule Wardrobe Staples for Travel

You could fill your suitcase with items you might wear, or you could use your space wisely, packing items you know you’ll wear. Ahead, I’m breaking down the eight categories that I think are must-haves while traveling.
Frame The Classic Shirt
You see a button-down shirt; I see a standalone top and a layer rolled into one breezy essential.
Rag & Bone Miramar Wide-Leg Pant
Denim: the workhorse of every woman’s wardrobe. A pair of sweatpant jeans are perfect for travel days, too.
New Balance 9060 Sneakers
Sneakers are a given when it comes to traveling, especially if you plan on sight-seeing or touring a city on foot.
Gucci Medium Boston Bag
What do I mean by utilitarian? For travel, that means having a zip-top closure and a crossbody strap. Consider these your two safety essentials for travel bags.
Aritzia The Effortless Pant
It’s hard to find a pair of pants that look nice, feel good, and pack well. This Aritzia pair is a favorite among ELLE editors.
Leset Nando Boatneck Dress
This versatile pick looks darling with sneakers during the day, but you can easily dress it up for a fancy dinner or event.
Quince Glove Ballet Flat
I really debated what shoes to include in this capsule, and ballet flats won out. You’ll reach for them more than you would a heel, plus they take up less space.
Flore Flore Poppy Cardigan
