I recently moved back to Los Angeles from New York, and yes, I miss it a ton. I had the pleasure of visiting the Big Apple just a couple of weeks ago and was determined to make the most of the items in my suitcase while I was there. As someone who revels in the evolution of the trend cycle, I really had to challenge myself to only pack pieces I could wear with anything and on repeat. Naturally, that meant my suitcase was filled with elevated basics.
Ahead, I’m sharing with you the seven basics I packed for my New York trip that kept me looking stylish while keeping my luggage weight under 50 pounds. I must admit I expected to feel like I wasn’t looking my best as I packed neutrals on top of neutrals, but I have never received so many compliments on my looks as I did on this trip. With that said, I can now humbly admit to the power of good basics, and the below assortment is guaranteed to set you up for success no matter where you’re headed.
