The Minimalist’s Packing List

Out-of-office dates set. Tickets and hotel booked. Your summer getaway is approaching, and now there's just one question: what to pack? For those of us who struggle to keep our bags under the airline weight limit, the thought alone is enough to make an eye twitch. But before you find yourself sitting on your suitcase, willing it to zip, consider what items our team would include on its minimalist packing list—a travel capsule complete with all the versatile Marcella essentials every summer trip calls for.

ELENA TOP

DESI CONVERTIBLE TOP

What Tops To Pack?

Comfort, adaptability, and ease. That's the trifecta when considering which tops make the cut, and Elena checks all the boxes. Crafted from soft, sustainable European jersey, she's effortless to wear, easy to care for on the road, and her oversized silhouette is just as perfect for lounging as it is for dinner reservations.

Now, for a real magic trick? Consider a convertible design, like Desi, with a neckline you can change repeatedly even as she takes up the space of a single piece in your suitcase. Her asymmetrical straps can be rearranged endlessly, so you can change up the look on a whim.

LOFT DRESS

JULIA DRESS

One-and-Done Dresses

On vacation, nothing keeps the good vibes going quite like an effortless dress. Loft's sweeping silhouette and lightweight material – European poplin cotton with 100% cotton voile lining – keeps you cool on the hottest days and barely takes up any space in your carry-on. 

When it comes to versatility, Julia is a jet-setter's dream. Her neckline transforms to suit your mood, and her high-stretch yet sustainable European jersey fabric makes her skirt easy to inch up whenever the plans call for a shorter hemline.

GEORGIA PANTS

COOPER MESH TOP

Down Below

Bottoms that leave room to move are essential if you’re out and about from morning to night. That's why we love Hylan, an exaggerated wide-leg silhouette with an elastic waistband for all-day comfort (plus pockets for your walk-around items). 

Right alongside Hylan, our laid-back Belmont Skirt is a permanent fixture on the packing list. She's fashioned from wrinkle-resistant European french terry that stays polished whether in the suitcase or worn all day long. Pair her with any black top to dress her up a little.

ROCKLAND DENIM JACKET

ROCKLAND DENIM JACKET

The Final Layer

Should you need a touch more coverage, reach for the Rockland Denim Jacket. Her oversized, cropped silhouette, crafted from 100% European denim, adds texture to any look and travels beautifully from destination to destination.

KELLY TOTE

ELISA SANDALS

Shoes & Accessories

If there's one decision worth deliberating over, it's the footwear. Enter Elisa: a slip-on-and-go design crafted from supple European nappa leather with pillowy soles that mold to your feet through those miles of sightseeing.

And finally, the piece that ties it all together: Kelly. Our beloved oversized & slouchy carryall crafted from European leather, she'll hold all your daily essentials, with just enough room left for the souvenirs and keepsakes you collect along the way.

With a capsule wardrobe like this, packing stress becomes a thing of the past. So bring on the unplanned detours, the mood shifts, the long days, and even longer nights. Wherever your summer travels take you, you'll be well dressed for all of it.

As a long time Marcella fan, I’m embarrassed to admit that somehow I missed these blogs! I love the travel edit! Always looking for new ways to incorporate new and old pieces and these blogs stimulated some fresh ideas. Unfortunately I can’t do a purchase for the beach giveaway this month, but appreciate that Marcella offers the opportunity.
