Clothing
Here’s a look at the clothing items we’re bringing along on our around the world trip. As we are following summer around the world, you’ll notice our list doesn’t include a lot of cold weather attire, and we’ve found layering to be the ideal solution for the those cooler spots we hit along the way.
For those plotting their own trips and packing lists, we’ve highlighted our favorite buys as primo purchases below.
