Hello again! In this post I will be sharing my packing guide for 5 days in New Orleans. I visited New Orleans in the Spring, but I brought many layering pieces, making this packing guide useful for most times of year. New Orleans is known for being very humid, and during my visit temperatures ranged from 55-85 degrees. Keep reading for my packing guide – everything I packed fits into a small carry-on!
I visited New Orleans, Louisiana as part of my 50 state challenge! Click here to read more about the challenge, and here to follow along on Instagram!
Overview:
- 4 spring/summer dresses
- 3 tops
- 1 lightweight jacket
- 2 sweaters
- 1 pair of shorts
- 1 pair of jeans
- 4 skirts
- 1 pair of sneakers
I definitely brought more clothes than I needed for five days, but since everything fit into a small carry-on (with room to spare) I figured it wouldn’t hurt to bring options!
Dresses
I love wearing dresses! On this trip I brought 4 of my favorites that are cute and comfortable.
Tops
Skirts paired with crop tops are another one of my favorite outfits! I brought three shirts, one of them being long sleeve for colder days. I also bought two sweaters to layer!

Jacket
Even though the Spring days are warm, the nights can get chilly. I brought one lightweight jacket to wear on the plane, and on cooler evenings.
Bottoms
I always bring a pair of jeans to travel in, but as long as the weather is nice, I prefer to wear skirts. On this trip I brought four of my favorites, in neutral colors, that match my favorite tops. I also brought one pair of shorts, in case I wanted to go for a cute and comfy look.

Shoes
One of best space-saving hacks when packing is to limit the amount of shoes I bring. Since New Orleans is pretty casual, I only brought my Nike Air Force 1s. They match everything, and I wore them on the plane so I didn’t lose room in my suitcase!
