Ask CF Question

Hello!

I’m planning to visit the USA for the first time this June. I’m going to visit New York City, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. I want to pack light since I plan to do some shopping while I’m there. What kind of clothes should I bring with me to cover all climates and still remain comfy and stylish since I’ll be wandering around all day long?

Thanks!

Our Response

Dear LW,

It sounds like you have quite the exciting trip coming up! And, because of that, it is understandable that you don’t want to spend a lot of time stressing out over what to bring — especially since the places you are visiting are some of the most exciting (and fashionable) destinations in the US!

With that, and the fact that you would like to pack light (Smart!) in mind, I have created a mini capsule wardrobe for you, along with some suggestions about how to style the pieces in it. Remember, though, that these pieces are meant to be mixed and matched, so feel free to experiment with your own combinations to see what works best for you.
