Fall Travel Capsule: Europe Edition

We know so many people that are planning a trip overseas this fall, especially with Fall Break quickly approaching! London, Rome, Paris, Vienna…. Yes please, this all sounds like a dream! In the past few years, we have helped many clients pack for trips overseas. This process can admittedly feel overwhelming and really tricky, especially if you are trying to minimize the luggage you are taking. We have even helped several pack JUST a carry on for a week or two in Europe, which really is the smartest way to do it if you are changing plants and taking trains. SO, we got to thinking… Why not create a fall travel capsule: the Europe edition for you guys?! We are so in love with this little capsule. And we hope that you find it to be helpful if you are planning a trip this fall.

Fall Travel Capsule: Europe Edition

We used our own travel experience, as well as our extensive experience working with clients who travel, to carefully select a collection of items that fit into a reasonably sized suitcase… Even though it’s a smaller collection, our fall travel capsule for Europe provides endless outfit combinations!

Key Notes For Packing For Europe

Here are some key things to think about when packing for a trip to Europe:

• It’s tempting to overpack! But remember that you’ll be navigating airports and train stations… And you’ll need to get your luggage in and out of Ubers, trains, and taxis.
• Go with mostly neutrals and use pattern for added interest to minimize the number of items you’re packing… Because mixing and matching is key!
• Re-wearing is OK and expected! Do it as much as you can.
• Choose staple pieces that can be worn for day and night alike.
• It’s quite chilly in many locations in Europe this time of year, so layering is key. Choose a few key jackets for layering options for all occasions. Don’t forget an elevated rain coat or trench for chilly, rainy days.
• If you want a heel, pack a bootie with a small one. It will still be comfortable for walking… And will sustain the elements. We don’t typically recommend packing heels, unless you have a specific event you need them for. Heels take up suitcase space and don’t get used as much as you would think!
• Pack a crossbody or belt bag that’s comfortable on your shoulders for long days. We LOVE the Clare V. Grande Fanny. It’s large enough to carry your sunglasses, wallet, passport, phone, charger, lip gloss, etc. with room to spare… But still gives off an elevated vibe, so it’s perfect for day AND night.
• Pack a cute sneaker that you can walk around all day in! There are plenty to choose from these days. Don’t be afraid to invest in a good pair!

Travel Day

Now it’s time to look at some styled looks from our Fall Travel Capsule: Europe Edition! We put together looks for the various types of activities we would typically see on a trip to Europe to give you guys some very specific style inspo.

Let’s start with travel days. The flight over, trains from one location to another, the flight home… Travel days on a trip like this can be long. So it’s important to feel comfortable. But guys, you can still look stylish doing it! Here are three ideas of how to travel in style AND comfort!

A Long Day Of Sightseeing

For a full day of sightseeing, sneakers really are a must. There’s just too much walking and standing involved not to be comfortable… And the good news is that there are countless really cute AND comfortable sneakers out there right now, so finding the perfect pair isn’t a problem.

Taking In The Museums



No one does museums better! For a day of wandering through one of the gorgeous museums in Europe, think elevated but comfortable. If flats just don’t work for you being on your feet all day, swap them out for sneakers!

Matinee & Dinner

An afternoon show and dinner after a busy morning sightseeing…. A quintessential vacation afternoon and evening. If you like to head back to your hotel and quickly freshen up before your matinee and dinner like we do, it’s a great opportunity to amp things up a bit. This is a good time to utilize those heeled booties you packed!

A shopping day is of course on the agenda for a fall trip to Europe! Here are three different looks to give you some inspiration depending on how dressy you want to get.

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea is one of the ladies’ favorite things to do in the gorgeous old cities of Europe. This is an occasion we want to get more dressed up for. We recommend leaving the denim and sneakers behind for afternoon tea. This is the time to pull out a dressier look for sure.

Drinks & Dinner

Food and drink is of course at the center of every trip to Europe. If you’re eating and drinking your way through your trip, more power to you. It’s all about enjoying the local cuisine and wine! Drinks and dinner is a great opportunity to elevate your style even more!
