A wrinkle-resistant midi dress is one of the easiest packing wins. It rolls up small, doesn’t crease in a suitcase, and works for daytime exploring or dinner. I always recommend neutral shades that can be dressed up or down with accessories.

This is different from your “neutral stylish bag” — this is about security. Anti-theft bags have locking zippers and RFID protection. If I’m in busy European cities or cruise ports, I want that extra peace of mind.
