How to Pack for Summer Travel Without the Chaos

Summer travel is more than just getting a tan โ˜€๏ธ, a fire itinerary ๐Ÿ“, and hot instagram pics ๐Ÿ“ธ, it's about relaxing and entering your peace era โœŒ๏ธ. Whether youโ€™re jetting off to Tulum โœˆ๏ธ, hopping between beaches in Miami ๐Ÿ๏ธ, or heading for a coastal European escape โœจ, packing smart means less chaos and more time for cocktails by the water! ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿน Here's your guide to packing for your summer beach trip โ˜€๏ธ with Oliver Thomas's must-have travel gear to keep you organized, trendy, and absolutely chaos- free! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Step 1: Start With a Bag That Does the Most โœจ

The easiest packing hack? Let the bag do the work for you!โœ… The 24+7 Weekender Duffle is the ultimate summer travel MVP ๐Ÿ†. It's roomy for all those bikinis ๐Ÿ‘™, lightweight for running through the airport โœˆ๏ธ, and full of organization so that everything has a place โœจ. It even has a separate shoe compartment to keep your dirty shoes ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ separate from your clothes, but it's machine washable too! ๐Ÿงผ Bonus points: itโ€™s a cuteย and practical travel duffle, which is a non-negotiable.ย 

Step 2: Keep the Small Stuff Under Control ๐Ÿ‘›

Itโ€™s always the little things that cause the most chaos...sunglasses, skincare, cords, chargers. Enter your new travel besties:

The Double Vision Eyeglass Case holds two pairs of sunnies ๐Ÿ˜Ž (because you shouldn't have to choose) and there is absolutely no digging required โŒ 'cause you can clip this case to your duffle or tote! ๐Ÿ‘œ

Your skincare and makeup doesn't have to be a hot mess on vacay...even if you are! ๐Ÿ˜‰ The Oliver Thomas Hanging Travel Organizer is the best cosmetic case for travel ๐Ÿ’‹. You can store your makeup ๐Ÿ’„, hair products, skincare, and shower products all in one place. Your GRWM will be organized AF โœจ.ย 

The KST Cosmetic Cases are the perfect packing cubes to organize your cords, and double as a beach bag to hold your sunscreen! ๐Ÿงด

Step 3: Bring a Go-To a Bag That Can Handle Anything ๐Ÿ‘œ

Beach day? ๐Ÿ๏ธ Pool day? ๐Ÿ’ฆ Coffee run? โ˜•๏ธ Airport? โœˆ๏ธ The Maxed Out Wanderlust Tote is built for every stop on your itinerary ๐Ÿ“. It's RFID protected and carry-on compliant making it your travel MVP ๐Ÿ†, but it's built for beyond takeoff. This is the best summer tote ๐Ÿ‘œ that transitions with your summer plans โ˜€๏ธ. It's lightweight for all day carry โ˜๏ธ, water resistant for the pool or spilled drinks ๐Ÿน, and machine washable for sandy days at the beach ๐Ÿ๏ธ. Not to mention it matches all of your summer vacation outfits! ๐Ÿ‘ข

Step 4. Comfort Is a Packing Priority ๐Ÿฆถ

After hours of traveling โœˆ๏ธ, exploring ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ, or beach volleyball ๐Ÿ, your dogs will be barking! ๐Ÿถ Slip into the Oliver Thomas Wingwoman Comfort Recovery Flip Flops. They're podiatrist designed and the perfect combo of luxury and comfort so you can step into vacay mode in style ๐Ÿ˜Ž.
