My Travel Must-Haves from Summer 2020

As travelers, we’re always looking for new companies that are making travel easier, inspiring us, or giving back to the places we love. This summer, I discovered so many brands doing just that, and got in touch with some old brands I love! Even during this largely travel-less year, there’s never been a better time to stock up on my travel must-haves for your next trip, so you’re ready to go, as soon as borders open again. These are my favorite brands changing the game for travel this past summer!

Reversible clothes from Splice Clothing:

Splice Clothing has been a huge game changer for me. This amazing female owned and designed travel brand works to create reversible travel clothing so that you can pack half the amount of clothes for twice the outfits. Not only are her clothes super functional (doubly so), but they’re also super cute and amazing quality! I personally live in the Phoenix Reversible Joggers, and they not only fit me like a glove, but they’re also water resistant and easy to remove stains from (seriously these are the best pants you’ll ever own). I also have the Cairo Reversible Poncho, which has been amazing for these cooler days we’ve been having. Splice is all about packing lighter, which means easier travel (no baggage claim), and less stuff to worry about, so you can have more fun on your trip!

Clothing that gives back from The Wanderful Soul

The Wanderful Soul is another female owned business doing great things. Every single design in the shop is created by the owner of the business herself, and every quarter, she donates money to a great cause! This past summer, she focused on the National Park Service, and this upcoming Fall quarter, her focus will be climate change! She even has eco friendly designs in her shop! I personally love everything she creates, and my favorite shirt of hers is the National Parks Founding Fathers Tee (pictured). She also just added an amazing packing list to her shop, so that you can plan out exactly what you need before your next trip.

Shades for your next adventure from Tifosi Optics

I’ve loved Tifosi for a long time, which is why they had to make this list. Tifosi is an adventure sunglasses company that makes shades for all types of outdoor exploring (or city exploring if that’s more your thing). They’re durable, made to stay on your face, and some styles even come with polarized lenses. My favorite style for hiking is Swank and my favorites for chillin’ or city dwelling is Svago (pictured). These are seriously the best sunglasses you’ll ever own, and you will not regret adventuring in them (the lenses even make everything look extra beautiful!).

So whether you’re planning to head somewhere tropical, somewhere in the mountains, or somewhere in the city, make sure you have some awesome gear with you before you hit the road!
