Perfect for a day trip or overnight outing, a tote is usually large enough to carry the necessities-a change of clothes and other essential accessories. At once chic and street-smart, totes work just as well for a day about town or a spur-of-the-moment jaunt. Keep an eye out for totes with wheels and shoulder straps for added convenience.

The upright is a fairly new innovation in luggage and was originally referred to as a Pullman when it first appeared on the travel scene. These large, rectangular cases normally measure 24" - 27" and feature spacious interiors with a variety of interior compartments and lining options. Whether it's hard or soft side, all uprights should be equipped with wheels and a telescoping handle for effortless transport. Expandable uprights are especially helpful when extra packing capacity is required.

True to its name, the carry-on is simply a bag that can be carried onto an airplane. Compact, yet spacious enough for the essentials, these bags provide packing solutions in a diverse range of shapes and sizes. The FAA stipulates that a carry-on bag should measure less than 45 linear inches (height + width + depth) and be small enough to fit under the seat or in the overhead bin. This general rule should get you through the gate, but we recommend you check with your airline for specific details. Carry-ons available with wheels or without.

Vertically situated to better accommodate apparel, garment bags can be folded lengthwise in half or thirds to minimize wrinkles and creases. They usually run in length from 40" for men's suits to 54" for women's dresses, with many able to expand even further. Built like portable closets, they use interior bars to help pack garments on hangers. Some bags even include removable hangers for easy transfer to actual closets. Garment bags available with wheels or without.
