Three days in a city is the hardest trip to pack for. You’ll walk more than you expect, sit in at least one meeting and want to look right at dinner. Six black-and-white pieces cover it all in one carry-on.
The six-piece list
Hudson, Carmine, Spring, Reade, Trinity cardigan and Greene cardigan. Add walkable flats, an optional heel and the coat the season calls for.
Day one: land and go
Hudson + Spring + Trinity. Travel in it, check in, and head straight out.
Day two: work, then play
Hudson + Reade + Greene for the meeting. Change into Carmine + Spring + Trinity for the evening.
Day three: the long goodbye
Carmine + Reade for the day, with the Trinity in your bag for the evening chill. Fly home in the Hudson.
Pack like a pro
Fold the ponte and roll the jersey and knits. Hang everything when you arrive; small creases relax overnight.
Why all black works
Black pieces mix without thinking and match every shoe you brought. That’s how six pieces cover three days.
