The Best Garment Bags For First Time Travelers
Packing something a little more formal? Bring something to protect it.
Perhaps there's a restaurant you'll never get to try again. Perhaps there's a function you have to attend. Either way, your first trip involves bringing something more than jeans and t-shirts, so getting the right garment bag will make a world of difference.

The ergonomics should come first, with a bag that's easy and comfortable to carry.

A clear panel letting you see inside will be handy if you need to bring more than one.

If you'll be primarily wearing fine clothes during your trip, then look for a rolling bag that will make it easier to pack and bring things with.

Regardless of the design, make sure your bag has plenty of room for the belts, watches, jewelry, and the like that go with your clothes.

For situations where you've got big bags plus a suit, look for one with a trolley strap to make lugging it all much easier.
