and versatile accessories
are the key to getting the
most out of limited
packing space.
BRIGHT
OUTERWEAR
“A trench is a
sophisticated topper for
tons of outfits,” says
personal stylist Jesse
Garza, co-founder of
Visual Therapy. “For
daytime, layer it over a
tee and jeans; at night,
use it to set off a black
dress.” Saturated hues
like turquoise look great
on most everyone.
SCARVES & WRAPS
Carry one for extra
warmth or to add a
flourish to an outfit. Pin
on a brooch to amp up
the look.
LEGGINGS
Lightweight, flattering,
and easy to pack, these
are a must. Wear them
with a tunic, under a
skirt—or for an
impromptu exercise
session.
BALLET FLATS
This comfortable shoe
is equally appropriate
with a sundress or a
pair of evening pants.
Choose a pair with a bit
of embellishment for
extra zing.
A LONG, SINGLE-
STRAND NECKLACE
Whether it's pearls or a
gold chain, you can
repurpose a long
necklace several
different ways:
wrapped at the neck,
layered with another
necklace, or even
twisted several times
around your wrist as a
bracelet. ^
