Every Friday, I round up the pieces that earn a spot in my suitcase—the ones I reach for again and again, not just the ones that look good in a photo. I test and approve every item I share here. If it isn’t here, it didn’t make the cut. Welcome back to First Class Fridays: Vol. 2.
My Go-to Travel Pouch
This leather pouch is more than just a pouch — it houses all my in-flight essentials and tech gear. I love products that can do double duty. It holds all of my travel essentials, but I empty it out when I get to where I’m going and use it as a clutch for evenings out. Available in several sizes and colors.
My Favorite, Most-Worn Travel Pant
This is hands-down my most-worn travel pant of all time. They look polished and chic but are lightweight and comfy — like wearing lounge pants while traveling, only these look modern and put together. Available in several colors, plus regular, tall, and petite.
The Most Comfortable Bras I Own
Lightweight. Breathable. They feel like a second skin. This is my go-to bra for everyday wear and travel — great support and coverage, no visible seams. I gift these bras to all my girlfriends because they’re that good. Plus, they are super affordable; right around $20, which is such a great price point for the quality.
The Rain Jacket I Never Travel Without
A weatherproof, oversized rain jacket. It’s lightweight and packable—it packs easily for every trip and takes up little space in your luggage. Designed with a relaxed silhouette, this rain jacket offers ample room for layering, making it ideal for unpredictable weather. And with 7 color options, there is something for everyone.
The $12 Item That Saves Me Every Summer Trip
This rechargeable, portable fan is around $12, and I pack it for every trip. Traveling during the warmer months? This is a must — it has saved me while standing in long lines in the sun. It’s also great for hot flashes. I actually purchased mine in Venice from a street vendor for about twice this price, but I was desperate. You don’t have to be. Grab this portable travel fan, and you won’t regret it.
