Double Tap to Zoom

As part of the release of our latest HIGHStyle magazine, Irina Shayk steps in as a guest style editor for Highsnobiety, giving the lowdown on everything from her travel essentials to brands she loves right now. We also asked Irina what style regrets she had. She said none.

I travel a hell of a lot for my work, especially now many borders are back open again. But whether I’m catching a plane to a magazine shoot or heading on a much-needed vacation, the contents of my luggage remain constant.

This is especially true when it comes to my travel essentials. Below, I’ve let you all in on my suitcase secrets and picked out 10 things that I literally can’t travel without, from the foundations of my wardrobe to vital skincare items.

Black Tee

When I can’t decide what to wear, I always choose an all-black outfit. You can’t go wrong with it. Also, a comfy, simple tee is always good for traveling in.

Black Pants

See above. All-black EVERYTHING.

Jade Roller

Still obsessed with jade rollers. For those that don’t believe they work — just try it.

Workout Clothes

Pas Normal StudiosBalance Cycling Shorts
$104
Buy at Browns

It’s tough, but I need to find time to work out, even on vacation. Good workout gear makes that a little easier.

Extra Battery

AppleMagSafe Battery Pack
$99
Buy at Apple

Obvious but SO essential. There is nothing worse than a long flight without a phone. And now that a lot of airlines have wifi, a drained battery is even more inevitable.

Swimsuit

SHARKKINIMAYA Set
£110
Buy at SHARKKINI

Even if I’m traveling somewhere cold, I always pack a swimsuit. You never know when you might need it.

Back Roller

Spark RemedyFoam Roller Kit
£17
Buy at Spark Remedy

Taking a flight, especially a long one, is never good for your posture. This is my secret weapon for getting rid of back pain. Now it’s yours, too

Nail File

Margaret DabbsCrystal Nail File
$18
Buy at Selfridges & Co.

One of the greatest inventions ever, IMO. Don’t know what I would do without this in my suitcase.

Gym Band

ProworksExercise Bands
$10
Buy at amazon

The beauty of the gym band is that it really makes an impact on your workout, yet it packs down super easily into even small luggage cases.

Vitamins

purolabsMultivitamins
£35
Buy at purolabs

Such an underrated travel item, but something I always make sure to pack. Travel is draining, especially when you’re working. Something like Vitamin B or C can help with tiredness. Vitamins for the skin also work wonders after that dry plane air.
