Checking your Bag?
Whether you're packing light for a weekend getaway or embracing a 'more is more' mindset for an extended adventure, packing for travel always requires a bit of planning. From effortlessly chic outfits to must-have travel-sized luxuries, having the right essentials can make all the difference. At Hill’s Dry Goods, we know how to pack a punch when it comes to curating the perfect travel wardrobe and accessories. Whether you're jet-setting to a far-off destination or road-tripping somewhere closer to home, we've got all the packing essentials to keep you stylish, organized, and ready for anything.
A monochrome moment
If Marie Kondo can do it, you kon-do it too! Packing like a pro doesn’t mean you have to be one—it just takes a little strategy. One of the easiest ways to “fake it till you make it” is by using a color scheme approach. A monochromatic look is always in style, giving off that effortlessly chic vibe. The best part? Sticking to one color story makes getting dressed a breeze, so you can spend less time stressing over outfits and more time triple-checking that you didn’t forget your passport.
The true beauty of packing with a color scheme in mind is that it keeps you focused and prevents overpacking. When every piece you bring works together seamlessly, mixing and matching becomes second nature. No more “I have nothing to wear” moments mid-trip—just a perfectly curated capsule wardrobe that looks polished no matter how you style it. Packing smart doesn’t mean sacrificing style; it just means making choices that work for you, so you can enjoy your travels without a suitcase full of “just in case” outfits weighing you down.

Packing for Maximum Impact
No matter the size of your bag, we know bringing all your creature comforts is a top priority when packing for a vacation. That’s why packing smart is just as important as packing stylish, and nothing makes the process easier than the right travel accessories. Enter: packing cubes. These game-changing organizers keep your suitcase neat, compact, and effortlessly sorted. When it comes to the best of the best, Patagonia’s Black Hole Cubes are our go-to. They’re practically the holy grail of packing cubes. Much like black holes, it's a mystery how they are able to contain so much! Available in three convenient sizes (3L, 6L, and 14L) and a range of colors, they give you the freedom to pack everything you need. You won't have any restrictions when you use these packing cubes (as long as you follow the TSA restrictions). Shop the Black Hole cubes below.
While we're on the subject of travel essentials, can we take a moment to appreciate the iconic comeback of fanny packs? Along with packing cubes, they’re a traveler’s best friend, offering both comfort and security for all your on-the-go necessities. Forget your granny's fanny pack and take a peak at the Clare V. fanny pack above in a chic black leather. Whether you're exploring a new city, hopping from café to café, or navigating the airport like a pro, this hands-free essential is a must-have for keeping your valuables close while looking undeniably cool.
