The safari jacket owes much of its makeup to this lighter-weight cousin. Safari jackets were worn by troops in all the warm-weather colonial trips made by the turn of the (20th) century European powers.

Packing lightly is not an art-it's a science. If you're someone, like me, who deeply cares about traveling with the right pieces- clothes you feel comfortable in that also match the destination or activity-the process requires research and precision. This is especially true if you're trying to fit multiple weeks' worth of clothes into a small piece of luggage, like a weekender bag.

Whether you're planning a quick road trip to the nearest beach or a much-needed couple's getaway, spending a few days away calls for a sturdy, stylish, and functional travel bag. We often turn to our favourite weekenders to hold everything we need for short trips and overnight stays. The best weekender bags are roomy enough to carry your clothes, toiletries, and a pair of comfortable shoes or two

The best hiking pants earn their place in our packing list the hard way-through scree scrambles, sweaty switchbacks, and the kind of bushwhacking that tests each and every seam. We've worn them on short hikes and multi-day backpacking trips, in hot and cold weather, through light rain and high-alpine winds.

Over the years, I've discovered several tricks to strategically pack for cold temperatures while still feeling like you have enough to wear. One of the most straightforward tips is to find pieces that do double-duty. A reversible winter coat, for example, is the type of item that provides two distinct looks throughout your travels-plus, you can wear it while in transit, and it won't take up any precious suitcase real estate.

Target recently dropped a lineup of comfy styles from my favorite brands-A New Day and Universal Thread-so I'm treating myself to as many petite-friendly options as possible. If you're 5-foot-4 or shorter, I recommend stocking up on these cropped pants, barrel-leg joggers, and wide-leg bottoms for your upcoming trips, too. My top picks are currently available for under $45, including a wrinkle-free style that one shopper called "the perfect combination of polished and comfy."

Prioritizing comfort while traveling doesn't mean wearing pajama pants to the airport. For many men who travel often, stylish, comfy travel pants are crucial-and the Lululemon ABC Pants are the perfect option, leaving travelers feeling relaxed while still looking fresh. Reviewers say they're the only pair of pants they want to pack for any kind of trip, in any climate. And, after testing a whopping 38 pairs of men's travel pants, we found these Lululemon pants the best of the bunch.

As a petite traveler (5 feet tall to be exact), I'm over sweaters that swallow me whole, pants that drag on the floor, and the unspoken expectation that everything needs to be hemmed. These days, I'm focusing on finding cozy travel pieces that actually fit my proportions-warm enough for long travel days, polished enough to feel elevated, and timeless enough to add to my capsule wardrobe.

When it comes to packing for cold-weather trips, dresses are often overlooked, but a well-chosen winter dress can be one of the most versatile pieces in a travel wardrobe. From cozy sweater dresses that feel comfortable enough for long travel days to polished maxi dresses that work for dinners and special occasions, winter-friendly silhouettes make getting dressed on the road refreshingly easy. Even better, many of these styles transition effortlessly into early spring, making them smart investments beyond the season.

The brand's Mongolian Cashmere Wrap, for example, doubles as a first-class-worthy blanket, and its linen pajama sets are chic enough to wear straight from a plane to the hotel pool. Add in the washable silk travel dress and accessories like Italian leather dopp kits, and you've got a suitcase full of smart, stylish staples built for flights, car rides, and everything in between.

This winter, a number of footwear trends are battling for the spotlight. From Mary Janes to sneakerinas, it's been difficult to name a definitive reigning champion-until now. After much consideration, knee-high boots have won the title of the most sensible and stylish shoes for travel, and there are so many pairs marked down at Amazon right now to help you score the look for less.

Nobody needs another reason to buy sweatpants, but we'll give you one anyway: Some of Amazon's best-selling sweats cost less than your lunch order. Starting at just $8, we found popular travel pants that have racked up tens of thousands of five-star reviews-and by the looks of them, you'd never guess they cost as little as they do. One $10 pair from Hanes with almost 100,000 ratings has been called, simply, " the best pants ever," and it's not the only one receiving such emphatic praise.

Our latest Quince obsession-the Water-Repellent Puff Expandable Tote-features so many of these unexpected design details that shoppers are calling it the "near-perfect travel bag." Equipped with so many pockets, the bag "has a place for everything," and that's just one of the reasons we're snagging one today. If you're looking for a tote bag to use on your next trip-and for occasions and events well beyond it-this one is it, with shoppers calling it the "most practical bag" they have ever purchased.
