In 'Pack With Me,' influencers and editors give us a rundown of their travel must-haves and a few travel hacks to go along with them. For our first installment, Charli and Dixie D'Amelio shared what essentials are in their suitcases for a trip to Los Angeles.
If you're one of Charli and Dixie D'Amelio's ~280 million followers on Instagram or TikTok, you probably know they travel a lot. Charli, 19, and Dixie, 22, are building their careers as social media personalities, frequenting hot spots and events around the world, from Fashion Week to Coachella. Having recently launched D'Amelio Footwear alongside their mother, Heidi, and head designer Lauren Dicicco, the California-based family is focused on their foray into accessible, trendy shoes with a price point right around $100 per pair.
"Whoever said 'sunny and 75' definitely lived in LA."
Being that they're always on the go, it's no surprise they've focused on designing comfortable sneakers and travel slides, with onsite categories devoted to each family member's personal favorite shoe silhouettes. Charli and Dixie shared some of their travel edit with PS while detailing the must have items they'd never forget to pack for a trip to Los Angeles — a location they're obviously quite familiar with. While the D'Amelio Footwear Reklis Slide, crafted from faux-leather with a padded footbed and upper, appears to be a top contender for plane rides, there's more to Charli and Dixie's jet-setting uniform. "In all honesty, Dixie and I both end up in our reliable sweats. Sometimes I do throw a leather jacket on to dress things up a bit!" Charli told us.
Ahead, they point to the specific essentials they pack for a flight to LA, from snacks and headphones to sunglasses for bursting onto the scene in the warm, sunny weather. Click through to read about what's in their bags, then check out must haves from Kaley Cuoco, Courteney Cox, and Emily Mariko.

Dixie D'Amelio's LA Travel Accessory
Saint Laurent Narrow Cat Eye Sunglasses ($220, originally $420)
"LA is interesting because you can basically wear both jackets and open-toe shoes ($79) all year round. It's on the warmer end compared to other climates, but wearing a jacket out at night in the summer and wearing sandals ($99) during the day in February are common. Another wardrobe staple is sunglasses ($89)! Whoever said 'sunny and 75' definitely lived in LA."

Dixie D'Amelio's LA Travel Suitcase
Béis 29-Inch Check-In Roller ($328)
"I can't speak highly enough of Béis luggage. I've found that they're the most durable and functional out of any other luggage I've tried. They've lasted me through two tours and multiple Fashion Weeks, and I wouldn't travel with anything else."

Dixie D'Amelio's LA Travel Must Have
Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones ($480, originally $549)
"Two things I never travel without are my Apple AirPods Max and a snack. Not only are they super comfortable, but the noise-canceling feature on these headphones helps me sleep on long flights. My go-to snack lately has been Be Happy Snacks popcorn ($3, originally $4)! It comes in a variety of flavors, so whether I want something sweet, savory, or salty, my craving will be satisfied."
