Are you about to leave and don’t know how to pack your suitcase?

If you also belong to that group of people who panic when faced with pre-departure preparation, I recommend you read this article. I will suggest what to bring on vacation and how to pack the perfect suitcase for any kind of departure, whether it is to the sea, the mountains, or even for a short weekend. I will show you what to take with you and what to buy so that you always have everything you need without having to carry unnecessarily heavy suitcases.

What to pack: the essentials

Whether you’re leaving for the beach, the mountains or a short trip to the city, there are some necessary clothing, shoes and accessories you won’t be able to do without on vacation.

To begin with, wherever you go, it will be necessary to take a beauty case with you. If you travel by car or train, or if you have the option of putting a suitcase in the cargo hold, you can carry a spacious beauty case with all your makeup, moisturizers, and useful accessories so you don’t interrupt your beauty routine.

The Beauty Case with Heart decoration from Arte Pura is a spacious yet compact solution.

You can fill it with products or use it only for the bare minimum. The pure linen fabric will flatten to fit into any type of luggage.

If you have few products to take with you, the Trousse or straw bag will be perfect for your carry-on:

What to bring on a beach vacation

Packing your suitcase for a beach vacation is super easy. Bikinis, one-piece swimsuits and sarongs do not take up much space, as do summer dresses made of linen or lightweight fabric.

Carefully choose the right number of bikinis, underwear, sarongs and dresses. If you have a small suitcase, I recommend taking no more than two pairs of shoes with you, avoiding heels if you already know you can’t wear them. Remember that vacations are for relaxation: you don’t want to spend a week at the mercy of sore feet, do you?

I recommend that you choose functional swimsuits: suitable for tanning, swimming, but most importantly, that make you feel comfortable.The latest arrivals from the Amor y Odio line are bikinis and one-piece swimsuits decorated with a handmade fishbone in Zama. This metal is perfect for summer because it does not heat up in the sun and is not altered by either chlorine or sea salt.

Don’t forget the sarong or a cover-up! Amor y Odio’s stunning lace kimono takes up very little space in your suitcase, doesn’t wrinkle, and is perfect for happy hours at the beach. Or create your own beach look with the beautiful camisole dress with a pareo sash to tie at the left hip.

What to bring to the mountains or the city

If you are packing your suitcase for a vacation in the mountains or in the city, we recommend that you carefully choose the clothing you want to take with you.

First, choose the shoes to wear. Especially if you are going to the mountains, a pair of sneakers or hiking shoes should not be missing. Take them with you even if you go to the city: you will need them to better cope with long walks in the sun.

For walking around town, you could also opt for some comfortable sandals , with a bit of a heel to support the ankle and a comfortable insole. Take a look at the line of footwear .

Suitcase for a weekend getaway

Packing for a weekend getaway, especially in summer, will be super easy.

I recommend that you put a few functional items in your luggage, following the advice I have given so far. Prefer versatile clothes , which can be adapted for multiple occasions, especially if you have a quick laundry service available!

The summer dresses are a true example of versatility. Made of lightweight fabric, they are perfect both for the beach as a cover-up and for the evening, even paired with practical pants:

In short, the key word for choosing what to take on vacation is “versatility.”

Bring smart but fashionable clothing and accessories and you will enjoy every single moment of your vacation.
