If you’re planning a getaway, you may be wondering what you need to take with you. Looking stylish during your trip is just as important as being comfortable, with your choices having a major impact on your overall experience.


In this guide, we explore some of the top travel accessories for men, providing some essential tips on ways to look good and feel confident during your time away.



A stylish weekend bag

Whether it be a mid-week excursion or a city break with your significant other, a weekend bag is a necessity. If you don’t fancy lugging a suitcase around, these smaller holdalls are both practical and stylish.


Weekend bags are specially designed so that you’re able to pack several clothing changes, toiletries, and necessities with ease. When deciding on a particular bag, look for quality materials, like nylon or waterproofed canvas, and good build quality – including the stitching, thickness of the leather, and the metal used on the zippers.


While styles of weekend bags vary, you can never go wrong with neutral tones and light-coloured leather. Although air travel is the primary purpose, you can also use your weekend bag once you arrive back home from your travels for daily activities like the gym or work.


A trusty timepiece

Watches are probably the most popular and well-known accessory to many men, helping us to keep track of time while showing off our personal style. Even though the visual elements of a watch play a big part in our decision-making, functionality is also an important factor when choosing a model.


When picking out the perfect type of watch, consider what you’ll be doing during your travels. If you hope to track your physical performance, a smartwatch is the ideal choice. If you expect to spend time in the ocean or compete in watersport activities, a luxury watch designed for diving will withstand the deepest nautical adventures.


A pair of designer sunglasses

Depending on where you’re travelling to, you may need to take along a pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses are more than just a fashion accessory, they also shield your eyes from harmful UV rays and offer protection against dust and debris.


Over the years, we’ve seen a huge increase in the variety of styles, from wayfarers to aviators and so on. Often referred to as the ultimate fashion accessory, they look good on practically everyone and are highly comfortable. If you’re looking to take some photographs on your trip, don’t allow the sun to make you squint each time– grab yourself a stylish pair of sunglasses and pose with confidence!


A battery pack

There’s nothing worse than finding yourself in an unfamiliar place without access to your phone. Avoid the panic and get yourself a long-life power pack that’ll ensure your smartphone is always readily available. You’re then able to check Google Maps, take photos, and keep in touch with friends on the go without any worries.

These life-saving packs come in varying sizes, which can be small enough to fit in your pocket for emergencies or large enough to fit in a bag and last for days on a single charge. Whatever your decision, make sure to always have one on your person wherever you go.
