Ive never found packing in just a carry-on particularly easy.

Prior to crossing the Atlantic, I anticipated fluctuating temperatures, so Ipacked accordingly.
Below, are my 11 tried-and-true tips for covering all your bases when packing for transitional spring weather trips.
Otherwise, Im just adding unnecessary bulk.
Quince
Lately, my go-to style has been an oversized V-neck sweater like this one from Quince.
Its just as cozy as my favorite Anine Bing sweatshirt, but its more versatile.
At night, I can dress it up with a nice pair of slacks and a slingback.
Madewell
Without those guardrails, half of my suitcase could easily be taken upsolelyby jeans.
Yes but hear me out.
While theyre great for warm weather, they also work as layerable pieces.
Amazon
During this time of year, Ill wear them under the above sweater or the below long-sleeve top.
Instead, meet in the middle by packing tops that offer the best of both worlds.
Snow was in Scotlands forecast, after all.
Everlane
Its especially hard for in-between-season packing.
Id recommend another alternative, though, because the weather this time of year might not cooperate.
Instead, I always recommend a slingback.
Everlane
Its appropriate for most seasons and instantly elevates a pair of trousers or jeans.
Plus, it takes up significantly less room in your suitcase than a chunky block heel.
I dont just use any old tote or backpack, though.
Nordstrom
I bring theCalpak Terra 26L Laptop Duffel Backpack.
And Ive never had any issues fitting it under the seat in front of me on the plane.
