The Ultimate Spring Travel Packing List

Posted by Katharine Guidotti on

There’s so much to love about spring! 

More daylight. Blooming flowers. Plus, it’s a great time of year to start traveling.

Yet, packing for a springtime trip can be tricky.  

No matter where you go, the remnants of winter can surprise you with a blast of cold. Sometimes spring gets a little too excited about summer and becomes unseasonably hot. And those pesky spring showers can pop up at any time. 

To help you pack for your springtime trip, we’ve put together this can’t-miss travel packing list! 

Start With The Perfect Travel Bag  

Before you begin to think about what you need to pack, you need to find the right bag to pack everything you need! 

Sized right for overhead compartments and roomy enough for all your necessities, our travel duffel bag will be your perfect companion! 

Constructed from our innovative ReActive material made from recycled PET plastic bottles, each duffel features a large main compartment with mesh side pockets and additional zippered exterior pockets are sized right for accessories. 

Need more space? Our extra-large rolling duffel features both comfortable carry handles and built-in rollers for easy transport across cities and busy airports. It’s bottom compartment has a zippered lining curtain that keeps items separate. 

When you’re back home, this duffel easily folds for space-saving storage under your bed! 

Add A Compact Traveling Companion

Before you hit the road or take to the skies, carve out a little time to organized.

With a lightweight packable cosmetic bag, you can easily find small items without taking up too much room in your luggage or backpack.

Need something larger? This first-class Large Cosmetic in Amethyst Plaid bag is compact enough to fit under seats while still offering plenty of space for all of your makeup and toiletries. 

Constructed from durable and easy-to-clean recycled cotton, it also features a built-in sleeve that slides over trolley handles for extra convenience!

Get Going With A Go-Everywhere Bag 

Now that you have your travel bag needs covered, it’s time to think about a bag for day-to-day use.

You need something that’s: 

  • compact and not cumbersome,
  • roomy enough to accommodate all of your everyday essentials, 
  • with plenty of pockets and a zippered top for extra security, 
  • and an adjustable strap that’s comfortable and not confining. 

If it happens to be water-repellent and easy to clean, that’s a bonus!

Lucky for you, our small crossbody bag offers all those benefits — and more. 

Choose from our variety of best-selling prints and solids to find just the right match for your spring travel wardrobe.

Put Your Best Foot Forward! 

Spring is typically the start of sandal season. But what do you do if temps take a dip? 

Boots are too bulky to pack, not comfy enough for all-day wear and, let’s be honest, don’t pair well with most spring fashions. 

Save space in your bag and cover all your bases with our line of VB Cloud Sandals

Available in stylish solids and prints, these shoes check all the boxes for traveling:

  • A slip-on/slip-off design so you can easily move through busy airport check-ins in record time. 
  • Lightweight construction and memory foam insoles for long-lasting comfort. 
  • A high-traction sole that is perfect when you’re on-the-go all day. 
  • Water-repellent upper keeps your feet dry during those surprise spring showers.

Plus, they pair well with most any outfit! 

Send Spring Showers Packing! 

A little rain shouldn’t stop you from having fun on your spring holiday! 

Yet packing an umbrella isn’t always the best option for travel. Besides taking up room in your bag or purse, there’s always the chance you’ll misplace it when you’re out and about. 

We have a better suggestion for you — our packable raincoat is not only practical, it’s fashionable, too!

Offered in a selection of solids and popular prints, it features a drawstring hood, roomy pockets and a ventilating back yoke for extra comfort. 

Best of all, it easily folds into one of its pockets for compact storage and anytime convenience in your carry-on or crossbody.

Ready. Set. Travel! 

Now that you have your travel packing list in hand, it’s time for adventure!

No matter what you choose to bring along with you this spring, we hope you have a fun and safe trip full of wonderful memories!
