As the owner of Garmany, I spend a fair amount of time traveling the world in search of the finest products for our clients. Recently, I explored two iconic cities—Chicago and Florence, Italy—attending the Men’s Market to scout the best of the best for Fall/Winter 2025. While the work was intense, I couldn’t help but take note of a few travel tips that helped me make the most of my journeys.

Whether you’re jetting off for a weekend getaway or an extended business trip, these are some of my travel recommendations.

1. Pack Light with a High-Quality Carry-On

One of the most important things I’ve learned over the years is the power of packing light—and doing it in style. For my trip, I relied on my Tumi carry-on suitcase, which has been a game-changer for me. Tumi has long been known for producing durable, sleek, and functional luggage, and their carry-ons are no exception. With enough space for all the essentials and the ability to navigate airport terminals with ease, this suitcase has become a staple in my travel routine. Its smooth-rolling wheels and high-quality construction made me feel confident no matter where I was headed—whether I was rushing through Chicago’s O’Hare or catching a quick train from Florence to Milan.

2. Choose the Right Travel Bags

When you’re on the go, you need bags that not only carry your essentials but also complement your personal style. For this, I turn to two exceptional brands: Brunello Cucinelli and 04651/A Trip in a Bag.

Brunello Cucinelli offers a collection of elegant leather travel bags that combine luxury with practicality. Whether you’re packing for an extended trip or a weekend away, their bags deliver timeless sophistication. Their beautifully crafted leather duffels and overnight bags are spacious yet refined, perfect for both business and leisure. The quality craftsmanship and attention to detail make them a standout choice for anyone looking to elevate their travel experience.

On the other hand, 04651/A Trip in a Bag provides the perfect balance of practicality and modern design. Known for their stylish and versatile bags, they offer sleek weekend bags and travel duffels that allow you to pack light while looking polished. These bags are built to withstand the rigors of travel, all while offering a luxurious aesthetic. Their weekend-in-a-bag design, which easily fits as a personal item under the seat on a plane, is the ideal choice for a quick getaway or a business trip.

Both brands excel in combining form and function, ensuring that you travel with everything you need without sacrificing your style.

3. Elevate Your Wardrobe with Comfortable Yet Fashionable Pants

Traveling can often mean long hours in transit, and comfort is key. But that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style. For my recent trip, I packed Marco Pescarolo pants—an Italian brand known for producing well-tailored trousers that provide both comfort and elegance. Whether you’re hopping on a plane, sitting in a meeting, or exploring the streets of Florence, these pants offer a perfect balance of structure and softness. The versatile design makes them an easy pairing with a wide range of shirts, blazers, or sweaters, ensuring that you stay both stylish and comfortable throughout your travels.

4. Step Up Your Footwear Game

Zegna sneakers have quickly become my go-to travel shoes. The quality is unparalleled, and the style is perfect for any occasion. Zegna sneakers provide the ultimate in comfort and luxury. The design is both modern and classic, making them a perfect match for both business and casual outfits. I never have to worry about my feet hurting after a long day, and I always look polished and put-together.
