When it comes to mastering the art of the travel wardrobe, it\u2019s no surprise that our favorite fashion insiders also moonlight as packing pros. In My Packing Style, we tap some of the most well-traveled people we know for a peek inside their travel bags and vacation wardrobes to see how they take their style on the road. You\u2019ve bookmarked the trip, you\u2019ve screenshotted the outfits; now, a look at how it all comes together<\/em><\/p>\n\n

How does the creative director of an accessories brand pack for a trip? Slowly, over the course of a few days\u2014and with the knowledge that the accessories portion will always present the biggest challenge. \u201cAccessories are where I have to edit the most. They\u2019re what keep my wardrobe feeling fresh without overpacking,\u201d says Joyce Lee<\/a>. The creative director of Parker Thatch<\/a>, Substack author, and general multi-hyphenate designer knows how impactful the right accents can be in your travel wardrobe<\/a>\u2014and ahead of her next trip, we decided to pick her brain about exactly how she gets it right every time.<\/p>\n

It helps that Lee has a faithful arsenal of basics to build her travel capsule closet<\/a> around. She sticks to neutrals (with the exception of a few zingy hues, like a lemon-colored anorak or a tomato-red fringe skirt) and items that she already incorporates in her day-to-day; that way, there\u2019s more freedom to experiment with animal print bags and studded ballerinas. \u201cVersatility is key\u2014I think about color, texture, and how each piece can work across multiple outfits and occasions,\u201d she says. And, a useful tip for the accessories devotee traveling on a strict baggage allowance: \u201cI also nest the smaller bags inside my carry-on to save space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee is headed on a big family trip to Tokyo<\/a> and Seoul, just in time for cherry blossom season. \u201cIt will be the kids\u2019 first time,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m especially looking forward to the food, the shopping, and that feeling of being completely immersed in a different rhythm.\u201d Ahead, discover how Lee preps for a long trip, how she picks the right bags each time, and how she avoids wrinkles when traveling\u2014no steamer required.<\/p>\n
