"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

We're the people wearing shorts up until and way ahead of it being entirely unacceptable. There's only one thing that can be done when thinking of warmer days: Put on some sweats, curl up on the couch, and research vacations. Stat. Not just beach vacations, either. Literally anywhere we can go that to be anonymous. Tropical beaches, winter lodges, casinos. Something to take me—mind, body and spirit—away for a week.

Thus, commences the ultimate task of vacation packing, where you realize that your suitcase must consist of more than just shorts and little else. And regardless of the type of trip, there are some suitcase staples that shouldn't go amiss. From the classic weekender to post-flight skincare, there is so much that goes into every detail from getting from point A to point B.

You know that feeling that you're forgetting something? Well, eradicate that and commence travel with the reassurance that everything you need is right with you. So kick back, relax, and watch some crusty in-flight entertainment. Book your vacation and take a look at this packing list that you can finally rely on. Trust me, never ever leave home without checking these items off your list

DNA Hoodie

We love a classic cotton hoodie, and this heavyweight one from Pangaia is a pure winner for warmth and comfort. Wear it on the plane, when you're exploring the options are endless.

Camberwell Credit Card Slip

Mulberry's leather is quality that we stand by. The slip card design comfortably fits everything you need and makes cards easily accessible to get through the TSA checkpoint and pay for the overpriced water without a hitch.

QuietComfort Headphones

We're big proponents of noise-cancelling headphones for pretty much all things that require either a deep inner focus or a hard distance from the world outside. Bose's QuietComfort headphones silence the world (crying babies, crunching plane neighbors) around you.

990v4 Sneakers

Sometimes you just need to get there, and these sneakers will do the trick. And when you do get there, go stretch your weary plane legs on a long walk without having to change shoes.

Passport Holder & Luggage Tags Set

Matching travel accessories are a small but mighty upgrade that make getting yourself together for traveling a little smoother. This RFID-blocking passport holder and luggage tag set ensure you know what you're looking for when digging in your bag.

Everyday Compression Socks

These socks will reduce any swelling or numbness after a long flight, or a short one for that matter. Compression socks are your new favorite travel companion. These have a daily-use approved 15-20mmHg pressure.

Compressible Packing Cubes

If you haven't gotten on the packing cube wave yet, it's time. Keep your luggage from becoming a black hole of stuff with these little rectangles that keep your categories together neatly.

Toiletry Bag

Also good at keeping your stuff together: a good toiletry bag. Get a nice one that fits all of your travel-sized grooming things comfortably and you'll be set for a long time to come.

CASA POP-UP DESK

Working on the go sucks a little bit less when you aren't uncomfortably hunched over your laptop. Logitech's pop-up desk has a riser, keyboard, and track pad for making even a tiny space a little easier to work in.

Utilitech Carpenter Pant Straight Leg

Airplanes are meant for athleisure, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. These stretchy cotton-blend pants will make the hours of travel so much more bearable.

Scholar Cardigan Sweater

A plane hoodie is great, but an open sweater can be even better if you tend to radically change temperatures throughout your travels. Good for layering up, leaving open, and wearing on the trip as well as the trek.

Nano Puff Fitz Roy Trout Hoody

A packable Patagonia jacket is one of travel's biggest upgrades. It's super warm, and makes for an excellent extra layer—especially when you're not sure what you'll need. It packs into a little cube, which can double as a travel pillow.

Remi Glasses Case

Those flexible glasses cases are fine day to day, but on a longer trip, something with more protection is in order. Pack your reading glasses and go-to sunglasses in a secure spot.

Air Mid-Length Boxer Brief 6" (3-Pack)

This underwear is designed for being on-the-go and constantly in motion. Breathable and lightweight, it's made for long flights or road trips.

Remus

Caraa's Remus duffle bag fits a whole life and more inside of. There are smart compartments on the outside and on the inside, and the space for stuff in between is excellent. This is great for bringing packed lightly on the way there and packed heavy with souvenirs on the way home.

Tuvalu T-Shirt

If there's one life tip to take away here it's that traveling in a workout T-shirt is the only way to go. They are designed to be sweat-wicking and not hang onto sweat, which is perhaps something your plane neighbors will thank you for more than anyone.

On-the-Go Essentials Set

Get all your Kiehl's stuff to go with a whole set of skincare in a mini size.

The Mini

Tiny and adorable, this will save you from some unexpected weather. The micro design tucks away perfectly into your suitcase.

AirFly

Twelve South finally solved the ongoing conundrum of wanting to watch an airplane movie but only having Bluetooth headphones. This little guy makes that headphone-to-plane-TV connection for you.

PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50

This lotion is the only thing keeping us safe under any sort of UV index. It's small in size and easy to put on. No reason not to bring it on every trip.

BBall Suede-Trimmed Leather Sneakers

If you don't like feeling like a total mess when you travel, it's worth getting a pair of sneakers that are comfortable and also don't make you look like a tourist. Common Projects' minimal design goes with a range of travel outfits.

Bottle Swig Top

If you get skeeved out drinking out of airport water fountains and on the plane, this Larq water bottle will ease your germ aversion. The stainless steel bottle has a cover on the top to keep it clean.

Travel Earplugs Kit

Earplugs are easy to forget to pack and they're exactly the kind of thing you don't realize you need until you absolutely need it. Keep this kit latched onto your keys or inside your travel bag so you'll always have a pair on hand.

Portable Charger

This little portable charger is a lifesaver for all the times an outlet is inaccessible. Keep it charged and use the built-in plug for emergency charging.

Tech Kit

This Australian luggage brand goes the extra mile to think about every travel necessity possible. And then they add a personal touch to it.

Hooded Travel Neck Pillow

The hood attachment to the otherwise traditional neck pillow ensures that no one's bothering you when you nap with this guy on.

The Small Toiletry Bag

Perhaps one of the most iconic luggage brands, Away has travel basics down. The toiletry bag is not to be overlooked, especially one as compact as this.

Universal Travel Adapter

Yeah, I know you would have forgotten this.

Blanket

A compact, lightweight blanket to combat travel chills. Comfortable, warm, and waterproof, this is a must-have in your suitcase.

Essential Large Check-In

The king of luggage, Rimowa's suitcases are another level of class. Constructed with practicality and luxe materials, this suitcase makes for seamless travel. The cabin carry-on is a must, but if you're headed on a long journey, this large check-in bag is the ultimate investment.

The Game

In case you are anything like me and keep your furry friend with you at all times, The Game keeps you pup busy in the hotel room while you hit the bar.

Core Premium Bundle

Whether it's getting (sanely) through the long lines at security or finding peace at Smith Fork Ranch, wherever you are, this portable meditative trainer will keep you grounded.

Mulberry Silk Bundle

Once you start sleeping on a silk pillowcase, it changes you. The silk protects your skin and care from friction and damage. And a bonus eye mask never hurts.
