The XL Handbag We’re Carrying All Summer Long

Vacation mode has officially been activated. As I gear up for my upcoming travels (Croatia, here I come!), I'm honing in on the essentials that'll work with my carry-on only policy. At the top of that list is a versatile tote that works for all manner of play. Luckily, extra-large bags are the accessory du jour this season. Also, airy boxer-style shorts will make for easy packing and easy styling, as evidenced by one Paul Mescal and his latest viral red carpet moment. Oh, and then there are the easy, breezy elevated basics Kaia Gerber swears by — also great for mixing and matching while abroad. If you too, are in the midst of travel prep, let the runways and stars guide your packing list. They certainly worked wonders for me.
