Not to brag, but I've become quite the expert packer. My friends and family would argue that I severely under-pack, but I need you to trust my process for a minute. There's nothing more annoying than lugging around a heavy suitcase on a summer vacation, so being strategic about its contents is key. I always go for versatile, easy-to-throw-on dresses, neutral footwear, and beauty products that add major glow and take up minimal space. Being able to mix and match accessories is a nonnegotiable for me, so items like the woven tote and Ray-Ban sunglasses below are the move. Prepping for your summer travels really is as easy as shopping the following 20 items from Macy's—it's the perfect one-stop shop for everything on your packing list. So save yourself the stress, and keep scrolling to shop my go-to items for any trip you have planned this season.
