What to Pack for an Impromptu Late Summer Getaway
Summer has nearly summered, and chances are, you've already been on your major vacation for the year – or at least the season.
Rather than sink into the couch before an endless loop of Back to School commercials, treat yourself to a quick, spontaneous getaway, for some quality time with yourself, somewhere else.
We took to Mr. Porter to put together a packing list fit for your two-nights-aways, so all you have to do is get through TSA.
The Weekender's Packing List
Cap
Whether you're sightseeing in a new city, or lounging by a remote body of water – something to shield your head and eyes from harsh sunlight's never not a good idea, and a classic Polo Ralph Lauren can't miss. Pro tip: The more fading sun exposure it gets, the better it will look, by the way.
Sunnies
Doubling-down on the above, you'll be more than thankful for a pair of specs with lenses that traverse effortlessly from indoor to outdoor, less to brighter lighting.
White T
You know by now our obsession with the perfect white tee à la The Bear. This one is on the more affordable end, and assures you look the part for whatever it is you may or may not end up doing.
Button Up
Contrary to what you might think, a casual shirt is actually just as versatile as a white tee. Especially one like this, multi-colored and textured, is perfect for days and nights.
Underseat Bag
While trips like this don't warrant a suitcase – the latter of which only invites for overpacking – a suitable carry on to carry these essentials in is a non-negotiable. Puzzle your belongings into LOEWE's Puzzle bag.
(Swim) Shorts
A pair of swim shorts that passes as regular pants keeps your luggage light and your outfit options diverse.
Jeans
Good jeans are an everything goes solution, spanning temperatures, events, color combinations.
Evergreen Shoes
And finally, you'll want footwear to walk long bouts but still feel dressed appropriately in, for whatever function will follow throughout.
