This Is What to Pack for Your Easter Long Weekend Getaway

by Amanda Bardas

How do you plan on spending the Easter long weekend? Hopefully you're packing up to head on a road trip, or jumping on a plane to head to somewhere sunny. If not, maybe a staycation is on the cards? (PSA: MyDomaine has three amazing staycation ideas). Either way, the Easter long weekend is the perfect time to take a few days for yourself to unwind. 

We asked Julia Ashwood of travel and lifestyle website The Vista, to curate her ultimate packing list for a weekend getaway. When you take a quick scroll through her Instagram account, we can see these pieces pop up time and time again, so it's clear that they're the most versatile items you can pack. And when you're dealing with a mini carry-on bag, or trying to pile into a car, smart packing and versatility is key.

A great swimsuit is a must! Even if you're heading on a city vacay, your hotel might have a pool. I adore the latest styles from Zulu & Zephyr, Peony, and She Made Me.
