Going to a formal wedding, beach vacation or weekend in the mountains call for vastly different wardrobes — and bags to put them in. Having a well-rounded luggage set takes the stress out of packing.
Duffel: all-purpose best friend The Metro Carry-All duffel by Monos fits the bill, with a structured shape that makes it easy to see inside and grab what you need. Made of vegan leather, the bag is "sleek, sturdy and surprisingly lightweight, so it won't weigh you down while traveling," Travel + Leisure said. The duffel comes in four neutral colors. ($231, £182, Monos)
Standard carry-on: rugged sidekick The 22-inch Briggs & Riley Baseline Essential carry-on is an investment in your travel future. Its compression system is "simple, impressive and unmatched" by any other brand, Wirecutter said. It also has a wrinkle-resistant suit compartment, cinch-down garment panels, shock-absorbing spinner wheels, self-repairing zippers and a pocket for discrete phone charging, all crafted to the "highest standards." It is pricey, but Briggs & Riley offers a 100% lifetime guarantee, making this purchase a one and done. ($699, £550, Briggs & Riley)
Garment bag: portable closet The Mark & Graham Waxed Canvas garment bag resembles more of a carryall and has a "handsome yet rugged" look to it, Forbes said. There is space for up to three outfits, a pair of shoes, and some accessories, with its many pockets keeping "clothing protected and organized" while on the go. Choose between khaki or slate, with a free embroidered monogram. ($99, £78, Mark & Graham) |
