What to Pack: the Travel Essentials Text Amethyst Wang Goorin Bros. blog
You’ve chosen your travel destination, booked the flights, and even have the itinerary of recommended sights and must-try eateries down to the last Yelp review. The final step to making your trip perfect is deciding what to pack, and that, hatters, are the travel essentials. We’re not just talking traveling light (hauling seam-ripping luggage is not how to travel in style), but making your trip enjoyable and memorable, too (in addition to you lookin’ sharp, of course). We know it can be difficult deciding on what to pack (we’ll get to how to pack later). That’s why we went over the fundamentals on what to pack with welltraveled bloggers Blair Badge, Trevor Traynor, and Tonya Smith. We even turned the tables on ourselves at Goorin Bros. for the best packing lists ever. From the perfect hat to leisurely literature, here are the travel essentials and packing tips that’ll make your trip one to remember. What’s in Goorin’s Travel Bag Our travel essentials are gentlemanly, compact, leisurely, and not to mention color-coordinated. A lightweight summer jacket, button-down shirt, linen pants, patterned socks, leather passport case, The Stranger by Albert Camus, Goorin Bros. Cuba fedora
from the Cuba Libre straw hat collection, cigars, Goorin Bros. matches, compact Lomo camera, foldable sunglasses, classic pair of oxfords, belt, and journal for penning down memories and musings. Our Packing Advice A seemingly no-brainer, but bring a hat. Whether you’re jetting to the sunny tropics or heading to the colder climates, a hat makes the biggest difference in terms of comfort and style. For summer getaways, we recommend perusing our Goorin Bros. Cuba Libre straw hat collection that features packable, breathable hats that offer the best protection your head could ever get. The Non-Non-Essentials Notebooks and literature may seem excessive when it comes to packing, but we believe a truly good trip involves a mix of exploration and reflection. We like to leave at least a day or two free from the constraints of travel plans to spend time soaking in the surroundings and culture of our travel destination. Leave your itinerary at the hotel and take your camera, favorite novel, or notebook out for some leisurely, anti-tourist activity.
