3 Travel Essentials for Your Next Business Trip
These three travel essentials will help you dress for success on your next business trip. These pieces are flattering and functional. No matter what you do, these pieces will help you pack light and stay looking stylish “on the job” and on your way. Hustle sold separately. When you’re off duty, these closet essentials do double duty as part of a casual outfit.
1| Quality Blazer For Your Business Trip
If you’re a working woman or just working a room, I recommend a quality blazer to everyone. Invest in your “business” wardrobe. Veronica Beard’s “Miller” blazer fits the best and is by far the most versatile blazer for women. You can find lots of copies, but nothing that compares.
Why You Shouldn’t Copy This Blazer
- A quality fabric like this works year-round and isn’t shiny.
- Designed so you can style it as a single-breasted or double-breasted style.
- Functional button holes that button back on themselves so you can shorten your sleeves.
- This blazer is the perfect length. It looks good with dresses and pants, even if they’re cropped or midi length.
- It narrows and defines your waist even when its unbuttoned.
- You can dress it down with a zippered dickey.
The Look for Less
This is the best deal I’ve found all year. Watch this video to see why it’s virtually identical in every way to Veronica Beard’s scuba blazer. The Veronica Beard version is $645. This one is $89 and comes in black or navy blue.
Dress Your Blazer Down With a Dickey
If you love the look of layers these are so easy to zip into your blazer without bulking up your arms.
2| Dark Denim for Your Business Trip
Dark denim jeans are a great travel companion. They look polished and professional as part of a travel outfit or business casual look. When you’re off duty, these jeans double duty as part of a casual outfit. Along with Paige’s slim straight-leg Cindy jeans (I’m wearing here, these are the five best dark denim jeans for women.

3| Bags Beyond Baggage For Your Business Trip
Don’t look like a bumbling bag lady on your next business trip. Instead, streamline the bags beyond the baggage you bring. I recommend a tote large enough for your computer and a wallet on a chain. A WOC or wallet-on-chain has compartments like a wallet and can be tucked into your tote, carried cross-body, or carried without the strap as a clutch in the evening.
Timeless
YSL is a favorite and has every color combination you could ever want.
This Italian leather quilted style gives designer vibes and is under $100.
Totes
I just got this Chole tote for our trip to Paris. It’s the perfect size for me and my Mac Book Pro. You can’t beat the value of this leather tote under $150. The Nordstrom 6 chose a Naghedi tote for one of our drops last year and I just found the look for less on Amazon. This MCM tote is reversible.
