The 23 Best Weekender Bags For Long-Weekend Travel

Lengthy trips call for breaking out our best rolling luggage, but what about those two- to three-day escapes? For the quick getaway, we need a travel bag that allows us to sail smoothly through various micro-jaunts, whether they’re via plane, train, or automobile — the kind of multifaceted carrier that can hold the travel outfits and accessories we want without weighing us down, all while still looking stylish. This is where the weekender bag shines.

The best travel bags for women run the gamut in terms of size and shape. What’s right for you depends upon your personal packing preferences: There are durable duffles ripe for overstuffing, and large canvas totes for folding up an extra outfit or two. Because each of these bags is built for holding a select amount of belongings, they will ultimately help streamline your packing process to include only the essentials for short stays. No matter which one you pick, rest assured you’ll be able to flutter to and from all your future adventures easily by slinging one of them over your shoulder. 

Whether you’re traveling for one night or three, these are the best weekender bags to help you do it in style.

The Best Fall 2024 Boot Trends, From Thigh-High To Western

Cooler weather has finally arrived, which means it’s the perfect time to ready your seasonal wardrobe with some of the hottest trends for the season. Our bodies will shortly get swathed in fall jackets, cozy sweaters, and wide-leg jeans, but our feet are already crying out for trendy sneakers, chunky loafers, and cute boots for autumn.

The biggest shoe trends for fall/winter 2024 are about as comfort-focused as we’ve ever seen, with perennial favorites like cowboy boots and over-the-knee boots making a major resurgence. There are also super-soft materials in the mix this season, like luxe suede, fuzzy shearling, and cushy puffer fabrics. 

Ahead, peep the best fall boots to slip into. We’ve rounded up a mix of everyday styles (for work and casual autumn activities) and occasion-specific footwear (for date nights and holiday parties). Whether you’re a comfort connoisseur who needs a slip-on shoe for errands or someone who wouldn’t be caught wearing a flat sole, there’s a new boot with your name on it to help you start the season on the right foot.

Puffer Boots

Part outdoor shoes, part slippers, puffer boots are the cozy style that will keep your feet extra warm throughout the fall and into the winter. Pick from an array of insulated and waterproof snow booties in sporty and lifestyle silhouettes. You can also take on the trend in heeled or platform styles that come with detachable puffer leg warmers for extra coverage (and utility).

Thigh-High Boots

Over-the-knee boots are a given in any fall shoe roundup. Taylor Swift has only cemented their eternal popularity, recently wearing burgundy Giuseppe Zanotti Frannie High Boots to a football game. Thigh-high boots make any outfit seasonally appropriate, especially if you show them off with on-trend bubble skirts or comfy leggings. Look out for classic suede, trendy denim, and dramatic leather styles, as well as ones with low kitten heels and sky-high stiletto heels.

Suede Boots

Suede boots will also always be a fall fashion must-have, and they’re already everywhere you look. You can find these luxe-looking shoes at nearly every footwear retailer, especially in knee-high form (with popular kitten heels) — though you can also find block-heel booties and flat ankle boots for more casual fall ‘fits.

Animal Print Boots

Much like leopard-print sneakers are proving to be extremely popular this fall, leopard-print boots are also coming for the footwear crown… as are every kind of animal-print boot, for that matter. From zebra-print boots popping up in fashion week street-style looks and textured snakeskin boots making a comeback, you can (and should) go wild with your footwear this season. Take it a step further by trying more obscure giraffe-print and cow-print boots (perfect for your cowgirl Halloween costume).

Western Boots

Buckle up as we ride off into fall with the Western trend. Thanks to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter, Bella Hadid’s adorable equestrian romance, and Kacey Musgraves’ new horse-girl inspired Reformation collaboration, cowboy boots — which have been back — are showing no sign of dosey-doeing away. From tried-and-true leather knee-high styles to kitschy metallic ankle-grazing ones, Western boots can be as “yeehaw” or as fashion-forward as your heart desires.

Furry Boots

Back in February, plush clothing made an impactful impression at the NYFW Fall/Winter 2024 shows, as did furry shoes. (The latter first gained traction in 2023, and continues strong for autumn.) Hop on the (definitely cute, possibly divisive) trend with a pair of cozy shearling booties for everyday activities or chic faux-fur stiletto boots for stylish parties.

Fashion Month recently rounded out its circuit in Paris and the four weeks of runways were brimming with trends, from bubble hems and bloomers in New York to ultra-low necklines and embellished collars in London. Although the brands’ spring/summer 2025 collections won’t be shoppable until next year, the runways were the perfect place to find styling tips and tricks that we can swipe ASAP.

Labels like Loewe and Nanushka left coats and blazers half-buttoned for chic effortlessness, while Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton championed over-the-top accessorizing. Elsewhere, brands like Coperni and Ester Manas made us want to dress up our favorite graphic T-shirts for upcoming nights out. It’s not just about what the models wore but how they wore it — and this season’s runways were masterclasses.

If you want to know the best styling tricks from all of Fashion Month, scroll on to find the most creative outfit combinations and best accessories hacks that’ll take your fall ’fits up a notch.

Fashion Month Styling Hack: Half-Buttoned Layers 

The half-buttoned jacket was this season’s most nonchalant styling trick. Brands like Tibi, Etro, Nanushka and Loewe all left blazers slightly open to show off the chicest bit of torso. Kallmeyer and Erdem left long jackets open to reveal outfits underneath, while Tolu Coker and Mugler went for jackets unzipped. This season, try leaving one or two buttons undone — what you wear (or don’t wear) underneath is what completes the ‘fit.

Fashion Month Styling Hack: Layered Belts 

Why wear one belt when you can wear two? From Miu Miu and Schiaparelli to Chopova Lowena and Brandon Maxwell, brands got the memo to double up on the simple accessory this season. All kinds of belts are welcome and mismatching is encouraged. Consider mixing chain belts with classic leather styles or wearing two statement pieces. Look for pieces with built-in double belts, too, like Ganni’s SS25 trench coats.

Fashion Month Styling Hack: Dressed Up Tees 

While it might be hard to beat a Mickey Mouse tee on an actual Disneyland runway (Coperni wins the award for best venue this season), plenty of SS25 shows will inspire you to whip out your graphic T-shirt collection. On the couture side, Loewe sent feathery tees emblazoned with Van Gogh and Manet artwork down its runway, while Vaquera layered vintage-style printed tees under strappy dresses and over full maxi skirts. Statement-makers can follow in the footsteps of Ester Manas, who paired an “elephant in the room” top with a sheer skirt to address the lack of body diversity at fashion week.

Fashion Month Styling Hack: Sheer Knee-High Socks 

Hosiery socks are the perfect accessory for fall party looks. Brands like Ahluwalia, GCDS and Tibi all brought out sheer socks on this season’s runways, pairing them with mini skirts, dresses and shorts suits. Meanwhile, Chanel styled patterned knee-highs with pumps and KNWLS tucked them under tall boots. Consider using your sheer socks for a delightful pop of color, too.

Fashion Month Styling Hack: Pretty Print Clashes

Print clashes don’t always have to be jarring, as proven by this season’s subtle statement pairings that featured strikingly similar prints. For spring/summer 2025, Marques’Almeida styled an outfit with contrasting floral prints, Burberry stacked various stripes from top to bottom and Dries Van Noten had us seeing spots in different hues. Meanwhile, Acne Studios clashed earth-toned plaids for some stylish, kaleidoscopic looks. 

Fashion Month Styling Hack: Functional Formal

Designers unapologetically paired super functional jackets on top of formal outfits this season, providing all the validation we need ahead of cold and wet weather. Cecilie Bahnsen debuted a North Face collab, styling long windbreakers with midi dresses. Burberry and Coperni paired sequinned gowns under puffer jackets (gasp!), Simone Rocha layered raincoats over tutus and Atlein put hooded outdoorsy jackets over cutout dresses. The trick here is all about confidence.

The Enduring Appeal Of A Barn Jacket, Fall’s Biggest — & Most Humble — Outerwear Trend

.disclaimer{width:90%;margin-bottom:1rem}.disclaimer__lines{width:100%;margin:0 auto;border-bottom:1px solid #999;padding:0;max-width:150px}.disclaimer__copy{width:100%;max-width:355px;font-family:Brown Regular,sans-serif;font-size:.9rem;font-weight:300;line-height:1.3em;color:#333;padding:0 0 .4rem;margin:1rem auto;text-align:center}

No need to muck a barn or toss a bale of hay to wear one of the fall’s biggest trends — workwear is no longer for work’s sake (at least not exclusively). Barn jackets have emerged as the leading outerwear for the season.

Think of it as a relative to utilitarian staples like the field jacket or chore coat: According to Anne Smith, L.L.Bean’s Vice President of Merchandising, it was first designed for those working in the fields and, as the name suggests, around barns in the countryside. The cut is longer and boxier than other work coats, with gusseted shoulders for easy movement, typically rendered in durable yet lightweight cotton canvas and designed to stand up to splinters, nails, or thorns. It’ll usually have a flannel lining and corduroy collar, which is soft against the skin, and large patch pockets to store tools while working. 

L.L. Bean launched its Field Coat back in 1924. (In 2003, it revamped the design and released it as the Adirondack Barn Coat.) “For L.L. himself, who was a big duck hunter, he created products that he and his friends needed to keep them comfortable in the field,” says Smith. The corduroy collar could be flipped up to protect the neck in windy conditions and rest softly on the skin; the big, rounded pockets could hold ducks or shotgun shells. 

Barbour launched its iteration of a barn coat, the Bedale, 40 years ago.“Most heritage brands begin by answering a need,” says Gary Janes, senior design and development manager of menswear, accessories, and boyswear at the brand. “In our case, that was providing very robust and intelligently designed outerwear for the working people of the North East of England.” It was first designed by Dame Margaret Barbour as an equestrian jacket — made of waxed cotton to offer resistance from the wind and rain and featuring functional details like moleskin-lined pockets to keep the hands warm and a two-way ring pull zip to fasten the coat without taking gloves off. 

J.Crew entered the conversation in 1983. Sid Marshburn, who designed the brand’s first Barn Jacket, told author Maggie Bullock while fact-checking her book, The Kingdom Of Prep: “Between a host of vintage hunting and field jackets, I picked my favorite details from about five different ones.” He applied J.Crew’s signature oversized fit, using a waxy finish poplin for a lighter feel than traditional hunting jackets. 

The barn jacket’s popularity has endured even as needs have shifted. The design may be ruggedly functional, but it has managed to make its way into the wardrobes of celebrities diametrically opposed style-wise — the late Queen Elizabeth II, Governor Tim Walz, and Hailey Bieber all included. And, despite its humble beginnings, it has been bit by the luxury bug in recent seasons: Prada is selling one for $5,000; Miu Miu’s take is $3,800, The Row’s is $2,980, Loewe’s is $2,900. (In denim, though, the latter’s just $1,700.) 

Luxury designers may riff on workwear on the runway, but their inspiration comes from those who wore it functionally first. For Derek Guy, menswear writer and creator of Die! Workwear, the barn jacket’s revival plays into the upward funnel of the trend cycle. “The turtleneck, for example, was originally worn by sailors, and then was picked up by London elites in the early 20th century,” he explains. “Over time, fashion influence switched from primarily coming from those with financial capital to those with cultural capital.” 

This isn’t the barn jacket’s first resurgence — in the early aughts, a mall-tinged take on Americana emerged, idealized by Bruce Weber-lensed Abercrombie and Fitch ads. “It was worn in a way to hint at wealth, essentially,” says Guy. “It was a preppy look.” 

A renewed nostalgia for American prep, with old J.Crew and Ralph Lauren ads getting their own Instagram fan accounts, has positioned the barn jacket for yet another comeback, and heritage labels are using the opportunity to get back into the conversation — by relaunching classic designs, resurrecting nostalgic media like J.Crew’s new catalog, or partnering with popular vintage sellers, as L.L. Bean has with Wooden Sleepers. Workwear brands like Carhartt (founded in 1889) and Dickies (founded in 1922), who created durable clothing for actual physical laborers, have found a modern fan base among those more likely to spend the day in front of a laptop.     

Though its function remains, in its current iteration, the Barn Jacket is most often used to tone down the sharp tailoring of quiet luxury, to add a down-to-earth touch, even if it comes at a sky-high price point. On the runway at Prada, for example, the jacket was styled with a knit bodysuit, red fringe skirt, and pumps. At Miu Miu, a slouchy, oversized version sat over a chunky turtleneck, a flouncy yellow midi skirt, and lace-up boots. 

“The Barn Jacket just works really well because it has that Midwestern ‘real American’ kind of flavor,” says Guy. 

Even if the desired look is Prada-esque, one benefit of a returning trend is that there’s no need to buy one new. In fact, a quick peruse on eBay will lead to a dozen or more pages of pre-loved options from J.Crew and L.L. Bean at a much lower price point. Guy also suggests the now-defunct, mid-century hunting brand Duxbak as an alternative that offers something a bit more unique and captures the same nostalgia and worn-in quality — though, he considers a vintage L.L. Bean style to be the quintessential Barn Jacket.

“We’ve been around for a long time,” says L.L. Bean’s Smith. “It’s that kind of earnest utilitarianism that makes us credible.”
