Packing Series — Playa Mujeres, Mexico

Minimal carry-on packing list for 5 nights in Mexico featuring neutral travel wardrobe essentials including straw hat, sunglasses, white tank, linen shorts, black and grey one-piece swimsuits, navy shorts, oversized button-down shirt, lightweight scarf, and brown flip flops.

A trip booked 10 days out to Playa Mujeres, Mexico — a self imposed challenge — we're travelling with carry on suitcases only. Every piece I pack needs to have versatility and flexibility. I'm so here for this.



I've packed one linen blazer and 4 pairs of linen shorts, with either a tank or bodysuit to wear with each. So simple, light weight and a blazer over the shoulders elevates everything.


An easy change after a day of travelling, a striped linen shirt with white shorts for night one dinner then becomes day time cover up pieces going forward. Then I'll switch to the tonal short / tank / blazer combos for dinners. In theory it's going to work just great — I'll update once we're home ha!


Travel wardrobe capsule featuring a linen blazer styled three ways for evening outfits, including neutral shorts, tank tops, a black bodysuit, sandals, and a small shoulder bag for a minimal carry-on wardrobe.

Three swimsuits to alternate through all pair well with a linen cover up, linen shorts or the scarf I'm using as a wrap —

Add in an extra pair of linen pants, my favorite 3 piece lounge set + a matching tank and that covers morning coffee runs and evening comfy clothes. Sail short | shirt | pants


I'll travel in sneakers and will most likely wear a tank, lodge shorts in light birch and a cardigan for easy comfy layers on the plane. We're travelling out of Alberta so it's still chilly heading to the airport here. A Gucci scarf in brown similar to the visual, but in this fabric will act as a plane throw as well as shawl if anyone needs it in the air conditioning for dinners.

— Thanks to Ashlyn who is taking our sunscreen and after sun care in her checked bag, that was my biggest worry taking just carry on luggage!
