Packing Feature: Chicago


Flying Standby | Chicago


Maybe you're flying standby, maybe you have an extended work trip, maybe you're a total wanderlust. Fact is, sometimes trips don't have definite end dates. So how do you pack for them? Mix and match basics!


Here's what I knew about my trip:

Destination: Chicago

Estimated Duration: 3-6 days

Weather: High: 60s, Low: 50s


Here's what I brought:

Tops: 3 tank leotards, 1 short sleeve tee, 2 short sleeve crops, 1 sweater, 1 light jacket

Bottoms: 1 pair of jean shorts, 2 pairs of jeans, 1 nicer pant

Lounge: 1 activewear set, 1 pair of pjs, intimates for 7 days

Shoes: 1 sneaker, 1 sandal, 1 heel


And here's how I packed:
