18 Travel Accessories That Will Make You Feel Like an Adult
Let’s be real: Even just owning luggage is already quite the foray into adulthood, but today we dare to implore you take it one step further. Not to worry, all we’re proposing is one little baby step by way of travel accessories. Sure, they’re easy to pass off as unnecessary, but as someone who often travels bimonthly, I can tell you that even the smallest travel accessories are not only quite functional but also make you feel that much more like an established, organized adult. So from toiletry bags that will keep your makeup in its place to luggage tags that will make spotting your suitcase on the conveyor belt that much easier to life-changing packing cubes, we’ve rounded up 18 of the best travel companions for your next trip. Shop our travel-friendly picks below, and when you’re done, check out the 16 items It girls always wear to the airport!
Why shouldn’t your headphones be as nice to look at as everything else you wear?
Keep everything in its place up until the last day of your trip with these handy bags.
Pro tip: Always have a scarf with you on long flights. They tend to get cold, and it can be used as a blanket or even extra pillow.
This light-as-air cosmetic case won’t add much to the weight of your suitcase.
If we call this a crucial travel accessory, can we justify simply having to have it?
Also an excellent gift idea—just saying.
No one has to know how beaten up (or pristine) your passport is.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
