Luggage Worth Lugging

You're going to need a set of top-notch luggage for your honeymoon, and pretty much every trip thereafter. Check out the different types available out there, plus our of-the-moment stylish picks.

The Rolling Suitcase

If you buy nothing else, get a suitcase on wheels. We're loving hard-shelled luggage because it's stain-resistant and durable, providing protection for even the most fragile of items. Most of these don't weigh much but this particular model is incredible light at just 8.6 lbs! (Samsonite Black Label Cosmolite 32" Spinner Luggage; $550; at samsonite.com.)

The Carry-On Bag

Get two! After the honeymoon you'll each have a great business-trip bag that meets the general airline carry-on height of 22 inches. Skip the carousel and tuck this baby into the overhead storage compartment. Plus, what girl wouldn't dig the zebra pattern and extra beauty case that comes along with it!

The Duffel Bag

A duffel is roomy enough for a long weekend, and it's also great for stowing in a larger suitcase to carry home honeymoon souvenirs. The side handles and rolling capabilities make this sumptuous leather iteration a must. (Brics Luggage Rolling Duffle in Olive, $595; at bloomingdales.com.)

The Garment Pack

Take this savvy piece whenever you need to carry a bit of formalwear with you (like that amazing silk dress you just picked up for your South Pacific honeymoon!). Slim, simple, and elegant in a black python pattern, this piece of light nylon luggage is a breeze to use over and over again. (Tumi Garment Pack in Black Python, $59; at tumi.com.)
