Vacation Ahead: The Best Travel Shoes & Bags for Women and Men

Your getaway’s booked, and now it’s time to make your packing list. One of the most important items you’ll need? Stylish, versatile, and comfortable shoes.

From casual pairs to more dressed-up styles, these are the top shoes for your vacation adventures and outfits (leaving room in your suitcase for bags and accessories, too).

An effortless slide in a rainbow of hues, the Chrisee goes from beach to street—and even to scenic cocktails. Ensuring its staple status: a comfortably cushioned insole, and a streamlined shape that’s ultra-easy to pack.

It’s time to forgo flip-flops for a more sophisticated style. Crafted with crisscross straps and set on a plush, padded footbed, this buttery soft slip-on was made for days of sun and sand.

Our instant pick for lightweight lift. This three-inch wedge conceals layers of cushioning, so it feels like you’re walking on air.

The quintessential beach club style. Up top it’s a lightweight penny loafer, on the bottom it’s a sporty sneaker. Just the right mix of classic and chill, when you need to get a bit more dressed up.

Practical for the plane, and polished for every outfit afterward. Crafted in pebbled leather, this softly slouched tote fits a 16” laptop and has two pockets for easy organization. Just grab and go.

Adventure out with a lightweight bag for all of your on-the-go essentials (it even fits a tablet). The perfect solution to over-stuffed pockets.

Look forward to long days poolside with off-duty navigators, made in a flexible design for a stay-in-place fit.

Is there anything cooler than classic aviators? Maybe only this pair, with leather-wrapped temples.
