There’s no such thing as an ideal wardrobe. So when it came to determining the best clothes for men on the go, we decided to go a little conceptual. The pieces ahead are some of our favorites from this season, but they also function as a template for the ideal capsule wardrobe — a pared-down list of the pieces that should never leave your suitcase. 

Mix and match the category items included (like a great, luxurious pajama set, and a blazer that can seamlessly take you from the boardroom to post-work drinks) for a stylish, functional travel wardrobe that can stand up to whatever your journey has in store.

Check out the full line-up of 2017’s Ultimate Travel Essentials.
