We just came back from a 6 week trip to Europe with 2 young children … carryon only! I had only a single packing cube for my clothing, and these are all the items I brought to create a travel capsule wardrobe.
The best ribbed tank with built-in bra! So flattering, comfortable and no need for a bra in hot weather. I brought 3 colours with me to Europe.
Ribbed Racer Back Tank Top with Built in Bra
This actually a men's sweatshirt, but that's what gives it the perfect fit. Lightweight, yet cozy enough to wear on chilly nights. The quarter zip help elevate it slightly - wear with a skirt, layer with a button down, or pair with some sneakers and ...
Lightweight French Terry Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
I'm obsessed with these Uniqlo AIRism built-in bra tanks! They're amazing and you'll want one in every colour.
Uniqlo AIRism Built-in Bra Sleeveless Top
Another classic staple that is great for layering and pairing with anything. I sized up to a Large for a looser fit.
Uniqlo Merino Crew Neck Cardigan
A lightweight chambray button down is a great travel piece! Mine is from Gentle Fawn from a couple years ago, but this Gap one is very similar (and I love Gap's button downs, they fit great).
Chambray Classic Button Down Shirt
Gentle Fawn is one of my favourite brands! This is not the exact button down I'm wearing, but very similar. They always have really soft, flowy materials and great fit.
Gentle Fawn Button Up Shirt
Bottoms
Packing list: 3 flowy skorts, 1 linen short, 1 white maxi skirt, 1 jeans, 1 black leggings for travel days.
These flowy skorts were the best purchase for Europe with kids. Comfy, stylish, dress them up or down, and functional for chasing little kids around. Fits true to size.
Flowy Skorts (Skirt + Shorts)
I also brought 2 of these floral skorts in red and blue! They were absolutely perfect in Europe. Highly recommend.
Boho Floral Flowy Skort / Chiffon Shorts
Amazing staple! These are linen-blend shorts are so comfortable and flattering. Dress them up or down. I actually own 3 colours (but only brought the black ones to Europe)
