It’s truly the most versatile piece you’ll need in your closet or your carry-on. We also love that this company is veteran-owned and donated to homeless shelters. $13-14 per shirt

Outdoor Compression Socks

Headed out on an international trip? Make sure you take along a great pair of compression socks. These Dr. Motion socks come in a variety of lengths (whether you want a short style or up to your knees) and a variety of hip fabrics. Gone are the days of grandma’s knee high compression socks that seem to cut off your circulation. These are the new generation and they can really affect how you feel after a long flight. We also recommend them for hiking or any long activity. $10

Oka-B flip flops

We are huge fans of this flip flop brand, that you might have come across in spas around the country. They are absolutely adorable with the fun styles they offer but most importantly- they last forever! With the rubbery material used, they are comfy and you can wear them anywhere- to the pool or beach, out with friends or even to a nice dinner. Check out their Halo Flip Flop in licorice (black). This classic flip flop design is adorned with clear rhinestones for a little extra sparkle so you can wear them day or night. $44

Make sure you have a great, solid sunscreen with you at all times, in the summer and beyond. Pura Skin Lab, makers of the essential skincare line developed by a dermatologist and full of the right ingredients to address common skin concerns, offers a sunscreen that you can take with you on the go. Easy to pack, and a safe bet to ward off the melanoma of the future, keep this sunscreen with you and apply generously. $34-$39
