A comfy wide leg trouser is a must for fall travel and it looks good with literally anything - a tshirt, sweater, satin tank, sneakers, mary janes, loafers, anything! I recommend a fabric that won't wrinkle easily, and size up a little so you will be...
AE Stretch Mid-Rise Ultra Wide-Leg Convertible Trouser
These are naturally great for those of us who are on the short side, they aren't petite officially, but they hit at a cropped length for taller women, or at the right length for shorter (like me!) I love Kut from the Kloth - they have the best jeans....
Meg High Rise Patch Pocket Wide Leg Jeans - Kut from the Kloth
Skirts & Dresses
I love this plaid navy skirt. Perfect with either the navy crewneck or the navy turtleneck; along with a navy ball cap. Pair with tights and sneakers or boots.
Navy Tweed Pocket Mini Skirt | Banana Republic Factory
The Somerset dress from Anthropologie is never wrong. It seems to fit everyone well, and you can dress it up or down. Add tights & boots for winter. There's so many patterns to choose from as well!
The Somerset Velvet Mini Dress
So cute with a sweater or a tshirt. Dress it up or down! Perfect for travel as it takes up almost no room and looks great with anything. Size up for a drapey look.
Champagne Satin Midi Skirt - Lululemon
I love a fancy skirt especially if you can dress it down with a tshirt and sneakers as well, so it can do double duty. Perfect for touring Versailles or Neuschwenstein! Add tights, boots and a black sweater for really cold days. Size up as these run ...
Tulle Skirt with dots - elastic waist
Shirts
This is so light and soft, so it takes up almost no room in the suitcase! Perfect with the navy skirt; also pair with jeans, or a silk or corduroy skirt. Might want to get in a few colors ;)
Soft Luxe Turtleneck Top | Banana Republic Factory
I think i've finally found the perfect creamy white button down shirt. I literally returned a few others I had bought to try after I got this one. The quality is wonderful - soft and not too thin. Perfect with jeans or a skirt. (Also the burgundy wou...
Silky Classic Shirt | Banana Republic Factory
Classic long sleeve tee to wear with skirts and pants.
Women's Madewell Northside Long Sleeve Tee
A couple basic tees are a must in any capsule wardrobe. I like that these are thicker and aren't too long.
Madewell Perfect Crewneck T-Shirt
Shoes
These are the comfiest walking sneakers for those 20k step days. Also, they are waterproof, which will come in handy in Europe during rainy or snowy winter days. Also, they aren't slick, so you won't fall on wet cobblestone streets. I've confirmed th...
Waterproof Sneakers for lots of walking!
Comfortable fashion sneakers are still great for walking, but look nice with both skirts and pants outfits. I always bring 2 pairs of sneakers; trading off gives your feet a nice recovery break and if one gets wet you are still good. These are a nice...
Sneakers - Sam Edelman Langley 3
A smart comfy pair of tall boots is great for fall travel. Yes it takes up a little room in your suitcase, but I think its worth it for the style combos. Splurge on a comfy pair as you'll be walking a lot! Perfect with skirts and dresses as well as w...
Women's Born Caraway Tall Boots
I like having a small pair of dressy black shoes as they are so versatile with any outfit. You will still want them to be comfy though, even if you just wear them for dinner or a show you'll still be walking on uneven surfaces - so heels are out. The...
Leather Mary Janes - Naturalizer
Bags
Soft leather crossbody with places for all your essentials and a little bit of extra room without being bulky.
Leather Crossbody Bag
This is hands down my daily bag but especially for travel. As a crossbody its literally perfect; but it also has an adjustable strap so you can make it into a chic shoulder bag when you head out for dinner or a show! I just love it. It often goes out...
Lo & Sons Aoyama Crossbody Bag - Leather - Adjustable - Black/Gold/Camel
Outerwear
A fall blazer works great as a fashionable light coat. I like to wear them with a tshirt and jeans or over a dress.
Oversized Double-Breasted Blazer
Love these shorter wool coats, as they still keep you warm while taking up less room in your bag.
Women's Icon Hooded A-Line Coat
It can get really cold and windy in fall and winter, especially when you're outdoors exploring cities in Europe. But bringing a warm coat is an issue because its so hard to fit it. That's why i love these packable puffer jackets. I would wear my bulk...
Packable Lightweight Full-Zip Quilted Puffer
Accessories
I love these belts as you only need to bring one with you since it flips from black to brown; and the way the buckle works this sits flat for a clean look; no extra leather hanging out.
Reversible Leather Belt for Women with Gold Buckle
This phone case is probably my most used travel accessory. Its so important not to lose your phone in a word of distraction, crowds and pickpockets. With this case it'll be on your body at all times; and you can put your ID and a credit card in the s...
Bandolier Leather Crossbody Wallet Case iPhone
Travel gear
You may need to go carry on only for your next Europe trip (So much easier on cobblestone, up steps, on trains, as well as saves money on bag fees. This is a great choice. It fits on European air carriers as a carry on bag (if fully compressed). Grea...
Best Carry on Luggage for Europe!
This is the best for an extra bag while traveling! It folds up so small; you can toss it in your suitcase, then if you buy too many souvenirs, just pop it open and fill it up. It expands to fit a lot. Tip: Put your clothes in the foldie, and breakabl...
The Foldie® Travel Bag
You'll definitely need a power adapter if you're heading to Europe from the US. This one works in almost all of Europe, just check country to be sure. *Its not a converter though, so don't plug in hair dryers etc!
2 Pack European Travel Plug Adapter w/ 2 AC & 3 USB Ports
I like small versions of makeup to save room in my makeup bag when i'm traveling (and to meet strict liquid requirements.). This set is handy w/ some essentials - just add skincare and a couple of eye/cheek color sticks!
tarte - mini mascara, lip balm & concealer set
I love these cheek/lip/eye sticks for travel. So compact and multi use is a must when every inch in the suitcase counts :)
Mineral Fusion 3-in-1 Color Stick - Blush Tint
Another slightly smaller tote bag options that also folds up and fits on a carry on suitcase handle.
Beis The East West Water-Repellent Tote | Nordstrom
Compression bags are basically a packing must for cold weather; as your clothes are so much more bulky than during summer travel. However one note - they do get quite heavy, so if you are using several your bag could go over the allowed limit for air...
Compression Packing Cubes Travel Organizer (4-Pack)
