I love to travel, although when it’s for business sometimes packing can become a bit of a challenge. You never know if you are over-packed, if you missed any of your staples or simply didn’t pack enough. Whether it’s a company event or a one day meeting, it is important to pack basic staples that can take your outfits from day to night in a matter of minutes. I think it’s always better to pack a little extra, just in case of any last minute changes.
Here is my list for 10 essential staples to pack when traveling for business.
1. Basic flat sandals: This is the perfect shoe to travel with or even to change into after a long day of pumps. One of my favorites is Chanel’s pearl thong sandal in black.
2. Black legging: Not only is the most comfortable to travel in it also goes perfectly with everything and anything. Pair your leggings with a white top during the day and add a blazer for an evening glam look. Try black heavy weight Leggings $36 Topshop.com
3. Sexy black pumps: These are perfect for transitioning any daytime look into an evening downtown chick. Christian Louboutin spikes sling back pumps.
4. Neutral pump: nude goes with pretty much everything instead of wearing all black try a Nude pump instead. Yves Saint Laurent nude pump $795
5. Animal print scarf: A scarf is the perfect accessory to add to your wardrobe especially if you’re always wearing black. Animal print scarf chiffon leopard print $170
6. Black blazer: This is your focal point of your wardrobe. Whether you want to dress down during the day with jeans or at night with your LBD, a blazer is a must have in your suitcase. Rag & Bone blazer in black $450
7. Little Black dress: Never leave home without one and it’s your lifesaver for any dinner meeting. Halston Heritage black sleeveless dress in black $530
8. White ribbed cami: I can never pack enough of these tops, they go with everything! Splendid white ribbed strap tank-top $65
9. Long skirt: Can’t wait to change from your business suit and take a walk in the city? A long skirt is the perfect essential for your casual look. Long skirt Bailey 44 chocolate pleated $195
10. Denim: You can never leave home with packing at least one pair of jeans. Citizens of Humanity low rise skinny jeans $200
