What an Editor Packs For a Weekend in Amsterdam

Aritzia cargos, a compact crossbody bag, and more.

Spending a Weekend Biking Around Amsterdam? Here's What to Pack Before I set off to Amsterdam a couple weeks ago, I had specific images of the Dutch city in my mind — the stereotypical smoky "coffee houses" and a bustling red-light district. But I wanted to do 72 hours in Amsterdam more like a local, biking around the city and exploring lesser-known neighborhoods. I'm glad to report that I got to experience just that: picturesque canals, cozy wine bars, cool independent shops.   I'm also glad to report that I ended up packing lightly — and, if I do say so myself, smartly. I focused on versatile items that could transition from the sunny, 70-ish days to cooler nights, like a pair of comfy, trendy New Balance 9060s I could wear all day biking around as well as to restaurants. If you want my take on what to do to make the most of a short trip to the famously free-wheeling city — plus shop the items I found essential during my time there — read on.   — Lena Felton, Senior Content Director Aritzia Wilfred New Bridger Cargo Pant ($148) Everyone's obsessed with Aritzia's The Effortless Pant, but I'll argue this pair is even better. The material doesn't wrinkle, so they're perfect for traveling, and the cargo silhouette can be easily dressed up or down. Baggu Camera Crossbody ($48) It turned out to be the perfect accessory while biking, and easily fit my film camera, phone, sunglasses, passport, and, of course, Aquaphor. Yiview Eye Mask ($13) For me, any long-haul flight isn't complete without an eye mask to black out others' glowing screens. I like this option from Amazon because it doesn't rest directly on my eyes.
