HOW TO PACK!
hey guys! i got a lot of comments asking if i could do a packing post from my trip, so i decided to choose berlin. it was my last stop and the most fresh in my mind. berlin has a very sporty style overall and lacks a lot of color. the people look so chic and put together, but always in a very simple way. tennis shoes everywhere since there is so much walking. long black coats, nice materials, functional but beautiful…let me show you what i would pack (and a lot of these items i did have with me!)
shop above: rimowa bag (the smoothest rolling suitcase), A.P.C. backpack.
shop above: hansel from basel socks, pons for daytime comfort, white vans that go with almost everything, a pair of fancier sandals from loeffler randall, and the perfect black ankle boots from sam edelman for night outfits.
an interesting white top from zara, a striped shirt from A.P.C., solid color linen t-shirts from j.crew are my favorite, a grey sweatshirt from madewell for comfy days, a button up pink shirt for a more refined look, and a fun graphic sweatshirt.
shop above: dress up or down this black dress from club monoco, head to the museums in this black jumper with a cool back, eat all you want in those elastic band wide leg trousers from cos, and a pair of black skinny jeans from joe’s always comes in handy.
shop above: you will see oversized cardigans everywhere in berlin, a black sporty coat for colder days, my favorite low rise thongs from hanky panky, and a nice bra from cosabella. a kate spade dotted scarf for layering, aesop (very) hydrating face moisturizer and hand cream, the best bobbi pins from ban.do, a crossbody clutch i wore the whole time from loeffler randall, and a mophie that kept my phone charged up always.
Lusting after that scarf! It’s gorgeous! x

The phone charger is really cool and great for traveling. All the clothes you picked out are gorgeous!
Love the black dress! Amazing.

Bri! I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I’m going on a 7 week long last-minute study abroad across Europe in a few weeks, and was scouring the internet yesterday looking for good packing tips. This could not have come at a better time and this list will be invaluable. Thank you thank you thank you!
Bri, i’m going on a five week trip this summer. My question about this would be: how did you find going from country to country with the items you did pack? Were you able to overlap a lot of your clothes? Were you able to fit everything you needed for your four weeks in one rolley suitcase and backpack, including four pairs of shoes???
Awesome guide! I always end up overpacking on vacation. Loving that gorgeous black dress with the lace detailing.
Perfect suitcase for Berlin 🙂
Great post! I’m going to Berlin this September. I’m not sure if the clothes options will work, but I’m excited to see the city.
I’m on a three week trip in Europe right now and we’re doing A TON of walking. I would highly recommend nikes or adidas – something with lots of support rather than converse/vans/keds. It makes such a big difference!
I second a big scarf – it’s versitile for the plane ride/beach days and cold nights.
I am moving to Berlin in 3 months and this insight into their fashion is so helpful!
