One thing about me: I'm as type A as it gets when it comes to planning my vacations. That means my packing list is just as important as the itinerary. I'll soon be heading on a getaway to Italy, Greece, and Turkey, and I've already got all of my spring outfits ready to go. But whether or not you've got a trip on your calendar, my European vacation packing list is full of minimalist essentials worth shopping for.
My personal style ethos when I'm on a trip is all about combining ease and comfort. I only pack pieces that can be worn more than once, and that mix easily with the rest of my suitcase. And, of course, when I'm walking over 20,000 steps a day, comfort is my top priority. The minimalist-inspired tops, pants, shoes, and accessories I'm bringing tick all of those boxes and then some—and they can all be found at Nordstrom, Zara, and Revolve.
From double-layered T-shirts and lightweight sweaters to trendy jeans and sneakers, my packing list is complete with far-from-basic picks. Ahead, I'm sharing all of my essentials.
These linen pants are versatile and comfortable, so naturally, they're coming with me. Some colors are even discounted in Nordstrom's End of Season Sale right now.
