Planning your next getaway? Whether you're off for a weekend in the countryside or jet-setting to a new city, mastering the art of packing is essential. The key is to build a versatile, stylish travel wardrobe that’s light on bulk and rich in character.

At Out With Style, we believe travel should never mean compromising your look. With expertly crafted pieces from Paul Smith, Hackett, Belstaff, and Filson, you can pack smart—and dress even smarter.

How to Pack for Travel Without Sacrificing Style

1. Start with Versatile Wardrobe Staples

When you're limited to a carry-on or aiming for a minimalist approach, choose clothing that transitions easily from day to night. Hackett London offers refined essentials—think crisp polos, lightweight shirts, and sharply cut trousers—that deliver effortless elegance wherever you go.

Pro tip: Hackett’s breathable cotton polos are perfect for travel—they pack easily and resist wrinkles.

2. Choose Lightweight, Functional Outerwear

A great travel jacket should protect you from the elements without taking up half your suitcase. Belstaff is your go-to for functional yet stylish men’s outerwear. Their heritage-inspired jackets are lightweight, weather-resistant, and full of timeless appeal.

Editor’s pick: The Belstaff Racemaster Jacket is the ultimate layering piece for any destination, from coastal retreats to mountain towns.

3. Add Character with Statement Pieces

Packing light doesn’t mean dressing plain. Bring personality to your look with a few bold pieces from Paul Smith. Known for playful tailoring, unique prints, and standout color palettes, Paul Smith adds just the right amount of flair to any travel outfit.

Style tip: A colourful Paul Smith knit or patterned shirt is a great way to dress up basics and elevate your travel photos.

4. Invest in Travel Bags Built to Last

Your travel gear should be as stylish as your clothing. That’s where Filson comes in. With rugged duffles, briefcases, and weekenders made from durable canvas and leather, Filson blends form and function seamlessly.
