The Travel Essentials Playbook: Solution-Driven Finds I’m Packing Right Now

The Problem: Most travel sunglasses are either overly trendy or too basic and rarely polished enough for multiple destinations.

L’Écurie Paris finds the sweet spot. Designed by founder Lionel Moroy, the frames are glamorous and timeless. Plus, they work across genders and settings, from city sightseeing to beach escapes. I’m especially drawn to the newest design, the Alexis, featuring a slate-blue lens and titanium plated in gold—it’s distinctive and elevated. It looks cool without trying too hard!

The Leo is also a winner. It’s a better version of the aviator and has a sculptural quality with its minimal silhouette. It’s crafted in ultra-lightweight titanium and finished in plated gold.
