14 Summer Travel Items I'm Retiring This Season-and What I'm Swapping Them With for Fall, From $14
Briefly

Seasonal travel wardrobes should swap breezy linen for cozy layers, sandals for sneakers, and sundresses for sweaters to prepare for fall trips. Prioritize classic, versatile pieces that remain useful year after year. Opt for flannel shackets as warm, throw-on layers that pair with neutrals; brown suede shackets provide an elevated alternative. Favor comfortable closed-toe shoes such as white leather sneakers with hands-free heel technology for convenience while traveling. Choose pieces that suit apple-picking, leaf-peeping, campfires, and rainy city walks with hot coffee. Focus on practical, polished items that balance warmth, comfort, and enduring style.
Every year when Labor Day rolls around and end-of-summer sales start, I make seasonal upgrades to my travel gear to prepare for fall trips. That means swapping my breezy linen for cozy layers, sandals for sneakers, and sundresses for sweaters. Mostly, I stick to classic travel clothing pieces instead of trendy ones so they can stay in my closet year after year.
If you're in fall travel mode like I am, it's time to get organized. From comfortable white leather sneakers to a flannel shacket that will polish any look, here are my smart swaps for your summer go-tos that won't break the bank. After all, apple-picking, leaf-peeping, and rainy city walks with hot coffee in hand are just around the corner.
Around this time each year, I pack up my oversized white button-up that I wore over swimsuits and shorts in favor of a trusty flannel shacket. It's the same idea-a layer you can throw over just about anything in your closet-but it adds a layer of warmth instead of allowing the summer breeze to flow through. I've owned this classic flannel shacket for two years now, and it fits right in whether leaf-peeping at home in New England or cozying up to a campfire.
