Oh spring in Europe... could there be anything more magical? 🤩

The flowers are in full bloom, the cafes are buzzing with energy, and the air is just the right amount of fresh.

But the weather? Well, that’s a whole different story. 😅

I’ve learned from experience that packing for spring in Europe requires a balance of practical pieces and cute options that can easily adapt to changing temps. Let me help you out with the 10 essentials you don’t want to forget!

Here are 5 must-have items you definitely want in your suitcase for your upcoming European adventures:

1️⃣ Comfy Joggers​

Trust me, you'll thank me later. Whether you're indulging in delicious pastas or exploring charming cobblestone streets, these elastic-waist joggers are your new best friend. (they come in 9 different colors)

Plus, they’re cute enough for sightseeing and comfy enough for travel days.

👉🏻 If you're more into wide leg styles, I recently got these wide leg joggers and they are amazing & comfortable too!

2️⃣ White Leather Sneakers​

Cobblestone streets? No problem.

Walking 20,000 steps a day? Bring it!

Having shoes that literally match everything in your suitcase? Check!

​These sneakers are both practical and chic. Your feet will be ready for endless hours of sightseeing, and you can style them with dresses, skirts, jeans, shorts, joggers, etc.

👟 The sneakers linked above and the ones in the photo, are the ones I've traveled with for almost 4 years. But if you're looking for a more affordable option, check these ones out!​

3️⃣ A High-Quality Carry-On​

You don't want to be dragging a giant, heavy suitcase around Europe (been there!).

A lightweight, durable carry-on will make navigating airports, cobblestone streets, hills and train stations a breeze. Trust me, traveling carry-on only is the way to go. Try it!

4️⃣ A Denim Jacket​

The weather may be unpredictable, but a denim jacket is always a good idea.

It’s perfect for layering, whether you’re wine-tasting in Tuscany or strolling through the streets of Paris. My pro tip here is that you size up so you can layer it with sweaters.

5️⃣ Travel Friendly Skincare​

When I’m traveling (and in life), keeping my skincare routine simple and effective is key.

I use this Antioxidant Balm every night, and during the day I wear this Plumping Cream, and Serum. (I'm about to add one more 😅)​

These 3 products are all perfect for travel: compact, clean, and powerful. I've learned that it's better to pack fewer toiletries but focus on high-quality products that really work. I don't need to pack a giant toiletry bag, and my skin stays hydrated and looking good no matter what travel throws at me!

Look for essentials that will keep your skin nourished, hydrated, and glowing, even after long flights and busy days of exploring! One of the main reasons I use PP is because their products are PACKED with powerful antioxidants.

If you're unsure which products you need, take this skin QUIZ and you'll get some guidance from my favorite skin care brand!​

The other 5 items are:

6️⃣ A travel adapter​

7️⃣ The right accessories​

8️⃣ A crossbody bag​

9️⃣ The trusty pashmina​

1️⃣0️⃣ A top & bottom set​

I actually wrote a blog post about this subject with a lot more detail + outfit ideas. If you're heading to Europe this spring, you'll find it super valuable:

I share the why for each piece, more outfit ideas and where to shop if you need to. Most of these items are specific to spring. (I'll have a summer version coming out later in the year)
