It’s probably been a minute since you’ve traveled anywhere, but as the country is slowly opening back up, more and more of us are itching to go somewhere (anywhere, please). And that means we’re all probably a little rusty on packing.

Thankfully there are tons of new products out there to get you on your way, no matter where you’re headed. We’ve rounded up the best in beach vacay must-haves (including a pair of folding sunnies), camping essentials, and city sightseeing go-tos. Now you won’t just be taking a trip—you’ll look good (and be organized) while doing it. 

To the Beach

Even beach days require a stylish assortment of accessories, like an easy-to-tote cooler, a waterproof speaker, and a terrycloth tote that’s as soft as a towel. Speaking of towels, a sunny paisley one means you’ll always be able to spot your pool chaise or spot on the sand after going for a dip.

To the Mountains

The right gear makes the difference between a successful camping trip and a disastrous one. These durable picks, from a nylon backpack that doubles as a duffel to a DEET-free bug spray that actually works, all make sense around a campfire and beyond.

To the City

Trekking through streets and going to stylish dinners requires a very special set of luggage that can organize all of your bits and baubles (like jewelry and makeup) so that you’re ready for literally anything. Plus a puffy printed laptop case keeps you connected the whole time.
