Say buh-bye to camping, and hello to glamping — aka every fashion girl’s preferred alternative to sleeping outdoors. Whether you’re heading to the mountains, partying it up on festival grounds or treating yo’ self to an extended staycation at a swanky resort, packing for one of these upscale 21st-century getaways is sometimes easier said than done. While it’s safe to say that some variation of sleeping under the stars will occur (be it in a luxurious tent or a Tuscan-inspired villa), you also have to factor in your daily agenda.

Whatever the case may be, look no further than these 31 double-duty travel style essentials (from sleek one-piece swimsuits to one-and-done maxis) that will work for every destination.
