If there’s one thing I’ve mastered, it’s the art of packing. My boyfriend travels for work months at a time, so I’ve been doing some serious air travel. That flight means I can now pack a suitcase with surgical precision. I’m currently splitting time between Los Angeles and Dallas, and since I can’t bring my entire wardrobe to Texas every time, I’ve been forced to be strategic with my apparel choices. I’ve created a little capsule wardrobe that I start with for every trip, and it has saved me hours of packing stress.<\/p>\n

I’ve focused on a handful of advanced spring basics that have earned a permanent spot in my suitcase. Everything is sophisticated, simple, and\u2014most importantly\u2014versatile. <\/em>They can take me from day to night and can be worn multiple ways, which is key to smart packing, especially in the unpredictable Texas weather. Using these as a starting point has made my life immensely easier, so I thought I’d share my list here today. The best part of this packing list is that it’s not Texas-specific. These items are a great base for any destination. If you have a trip coming up, this is for you. Below are six of the best spring basics for travel.<\/p>\n

Cute, effortless tops are a staple of my suitcase and usually the first things I’m packing. Whether it’s a perfectly fitted T-shirt, a boatneck tank, or a pretty pointelle top, it’s the starting point for almost every spring outfit.<\/p>\n

Jeans are the hallmark of both Texas and Los Angeles, so it’s no easy task. I find the straight leg silhouette to be the most versatile, as it can be paired with any shoe style and can easily be dressed up or down. I’ve been exclusively into white and ecru denim this season, so I usually pack a pair of those and a classic blue wash.<\/p>\n

Since versatility is the name of the game when it comes to packing, I usually choose flat shoes that are polished yet comfortable. For spring, that means cute slides Sandals, high ballet flats, and suede loafers.<\/p>\n

My favorite spring item is undoubtedly the little white dress. Eyelet details, delicate embroidery, and lace trims look perfect this time of year. Plus, with a simple change of accessories, the little white dress can really take you a long way.<\/p>\n

I try not to travel with a lot of bags, so I stick to neutral colored options to make sure they match well with everything else in my suitcase. Rich brown raffia totes, woven bucket bags, and classic black shoulder bags are hanging heavy in my spring suitcase.<\/p>\n

Like LA, the weather in Dallas is usually up and down this time of year, so a light sweater is a must. I love wearing a classic V-neck or cashmere cardigan, which can be tucked in or worn over my shoulders for added interest. Plus, it doubles up as a great travel outfit when the AC is on full blast in airports.<\/p>\n
