When it comes to traveling, there are two
types of people—those who love it and
those who hate it. While we can’t help
you get over your fear of heights or make
those teeny-tiny airplane bathrooms
any bigger, we do however, have a few
suggestions to help you travel in style
this year. From luggage to accessories,
we’ve got everything you need to love
traveling—not just the destination, but
also the journey.

CLOTHING
The right travel accessories are about three things—simplicity,
versatility and style. Experienced travelers know that the less
you bring, the better—so it’s great to have clothing that does
double duty, like a pashmina scarf that can double as a blanket
on chilly flights or train rides. The Pashmina Store makes great
big, cozy unisex scarves in dozens of colors and patterns
($24.99-$129, www.thepashminastore.com). For the ultimate in
luxury scarves, however, designer Roberto Cavalli’s fall/winter
line features fun, sophisticated animal print pashminas ($960,
www.bergdorfgoodman.com or www.robertocavalli.com). And,
of course, never travel without a little black dress in a wrin-
kle-free fabric. This brilliant, versatile piece of clothing can be
dressed up with heels and diamonds or dressed down with a
sun hat and sandals; Diane Von Furstenberg—who invented the
wrap dress—makes great travel dresses that won’t wrinkle and
can be worn a variety of ways. We love her fun, flirty Taurus
Wrap Dress ($345, www.dianevonfurstenberg.com). The men’s
version of the “little black dress” is that perfect dark suit...and
you can never go wrong with Armani (www.armani.com). Sure,
clothing is key, but no true jetsetter’s wardrobe is complete
without a glamorous pair of oversized designer glasses—noth-
ing hides a pair of jet-lagged eyes like a pair of fabulous,
mother-of-pearl Chanel Jackie-O shades ($350-$2,450, www.
chanel.com). For men, try any shades by John Varvat
