8 Days, 7 Nights, 1 Carry-On
Here at Jetsetter, we’re big proponents of packing a carry-on. Doing so saves you time, money, and the headache (er, backache?) of lugging around a heavy suitcase. Of course, if you decide to opt for a carry-on, you’ll have to be smart about what you bring with you—and what you leave at home. Here’s a handy packing guide to help you do just that. Comprised of just the basics—three pairs of shoes, four tops, two pairs of pants, two jackets, one dress, and four accessories—it’s all you need for eight days and seven nights of travel.

Levi’s 501 Skinny Jeans
The Levi’s 501 have been called the perfect jean. They fit straight through the hip and thigh, look great on the booty, and are constructed from only 1% Elastane (so won’t bag in the bum or sag at the knees).
Madewell Leather Transport Tote in English Saddle
Big enough for your laptop but clunk-free, this Madewell bag is perfect for the road.
300 Leather Court Sneaker
A comfy pair of kicks will get you through long days of air travel or sightseeing.
Madewell Jean Jacket
A jean jacket is a must for versatile dressing on the road. Wear it over a sweater, and it obviates the need for heavy outerwear; wear it with a basic t-shirt and jeans, and it’ll instantly elevate your weekend look.
