EDITOR'S NOTE

I’m heading on a 10-day trip to England on Friday, so I have my packing work cut out for me — not only will I be at events with vastly different dress codes, but London summer weather is notoriously hard to predict. Since I tend to overpack, I’ll need to be a ruthless editor. These versatile pieces are definitely making the cut:

• The world’s most comfortable jeans.

• This mesh knit top I can dress up with kitten heels or down with ballet flats.

• A cotton poplin day-to-night dress that won’t wrinkle in my suitcase.

• My favorite T-shirt in both black and white.

• This color-block anorak from the Reformation x Umbro collab that’ll add a cool-girl spin to whatever I’m wearing.

Everything is going in these under-$20 Amazon packing cubes to make the most of my suitcase space. Trust me, you don’t need to spend more than that on packing cubes — they all work the same.
