The best travel style essentials? Take a page from the Royals’ style playbook for your next adventure by packing one (or all) of these five fashionable pieces.
The hallmarks of great travel style are packing classic pieces, and nobody knows this better than the Royal Family.
Traveling the world and looking perfectly polished while doing it is something the Royals do with aplomb. And you can too. It’s all about wearing signature items that elevate your look. The Prince and Princess of Wales are masters of this. So too is Sophie, the newly appointed Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Eugenie and Megan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.

The Princess of Wales: The white sneakers

Catherine loves refined elegance, particularly with her footwear. She has her go-tos: a classic pump for dressier occasions; and crisp white trainers when the vibe is more casual. We’ve seen the Princess pair plimsolls with dresses, shorts, khakis and jeans.

Princess Eugenie: The wrap coat

A great coat pulls everything together and is a travel must that’s so key to have. Princess Eugenie loves toppers and has an all-star collection of styles from cocoon and wrap coats to capes. A great wrap coat is truly seasonless and if you need to add warmth wrap up in a luxe cashmere scarf.

Megan Markle: The oversize sunnies

The Duchess of Sussex has a covetable collection of sunglasses—she knows they are a critical part of a fashionable wardrobe. From retro cat eye glasses to aviators, Markle has a pair to suit every occasion. Ever the trendsetter, in her first official appearance with Prince Harry in 2017 she wore Finlay’s tortoiseshell sunnies, which sold out in minutes.

Prince of Wales: The statement watch

We love a signature accessory that elevates every look, and Prince William’s Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Chronometer 42mm Watch is just such a piece. He is rarely seen without his sleek Omega watch which holds incredible sentimental value to him: it was a gift from Princess Diana.

Sophie is all about timeless and modern style. You will most often see her wearing a chic midi dress which can work for day or night functions. This is the perfect dress to pack for your travels because it can work for everything from boating to brunch to cocktail hour.
