That said, we advocate for assembling a versatile, timelessly chic rotation of clothes you’ll surely want to wear. While it might be tempting to pack hyper-pieces that have been sitting around in your closet unworn, nothing beats the comfort and confidence you’ll get from dressing up in a way that effortlessly fits your style identity. Narrow down your choices to styles that you never hesitate to wear: these can include pieces that fit you best, grant you great mobility, and pack in a whole lot of style points without taking up too much space in your suitcase.
