Toss at end of trip. - **Calculated risk at Berasategui Jun 28** (3 Michelin stars, jacket recommended) — Vans + linen + button-down + light blazer passes smart casual but you'll be the most casual guy in the room. Acceptable trade for one bag. **Accessories:** 1 baseball cap, sunglasses, 1 belt (matches both linen + denim), travel-size cologne --- ## Danielle's pack (women's side) **Tops (5):** 2 fitted tanks (one neutral, one black for clubs), 1 going-out / mesh top (Razzmatazz + Tibu), 1 long-sleeve flowy blouse (Morocco modesty + Sagrada cover), 1 light cardigan (AC + evening cool) **Dresses (4):** 1 long maxi dress (Doha + Marrakech medina days, doubles as cover-up), 1 slip dress (speakeasies + Razz + Paris), 1 cocktail/midi dress (Michelin nights El Rincón + Berasategui), 1 sundress (beach + cruise port days) **Bottoms (2):** 1 wide-leg linen pants (Morocco approved + travel + warm days), 1 dark denim (clubs + cool evenings) **Swim:** 2 swimsuits (rotate while one dries — beach + pool + cruise) **Shoes (3):** broken-in platform sneakers or low boots (clubs + walking), one dressy flat or low heel (Michelin), sandals (beach + cruise pool) - *Note: Danielle keeping 3 because the Michelin nights + heels-with-cocktail-dress combo is harder to fake than men's, and her sandals double as cruise pool footwear so they earn their space.* **Accessories:** crossbody bag (worn diagonally — anti-pickpocket Barcelona/Paris/Rome), light scarf (AC + Doha shoulder cover + Sagrada), small clutch for dressy nights, sunglasses --- ## Specific event packing call-outs ### Barcelona Thu Jun 4 — Razzmatazz/Moog afterparty - **Eddie:** dark fitted jeans + plain tee + light bomber. Black Vans. Card-only wallet (cashless venues). - **Danielle:** slip dress + sneakers OR mesh top + jeans. Crossbody bag. Skip heels (concrete floors). Crop tops fine. Casual-chic, NOT Vegas-glam. ### Barcelona Fri Jun 5 — Sagrada + speakeasy crawl - **Both:** shoulders + knees covered for Sagrada (Danielle = the long-sleeve blouse, Eddie = button-down). Change at hotel after for The Roof / Monk / Sips. - **Sips entry:** dressy lean — Eddie button-down + dark jeans + Vans, Danielle slip dress + heels. ### Doha layover Jun 1 — Souq Waqif evening - **Both:** modest cover required. Linen pants + sleeved tops. ### Marrakech Jun 15-18 — medina + Theatro club - Modest walking through medina (long sleeves/pants), full club outfit goes ON at the riad. - **Hammam:** bring nothing, they provide everything. ### Cinque Terre Jun 11 — hiking - ⚠️ Closed-toe shoes ONLY — Italian rangers fine €50-2,500 for sandals on trails. Eddie's Vans = compliant. ### Tenerife Jun 24 — Tibu/Tramps club night - "Tits out, ass out" energy per Danielle's notes — full club glam allowed. Pack one statement going-out item that earns its space. ### Cruise dinner Jun 6-13 - Princess main dining = smart casual minimum. No shorts, no flip-flops at dinner. Eddie's collared shirt + linen pants + black Vans works every night. Danielle's sundress or cocktail dress works. ### Michelin nights Jun 22 + Jun 28 - **El Rincón (Tenerife, beach-resort vibes):** Eddie's Vans + linen + button-down works fine. Smart casual is loose here. - **Berasategui (3 stars, Spain):** Vans is the most casual you can be without raising eyebrows. Light blazer + collared shirt + linen pants helps the silhouette. Danielle = cocktail dress, non-negotiable. --- ## Things NOT to pack (waste of space) - Towels (hotels/cruise/riads provide) - Hair dryer (every accommodation has one) - Full-size toiletries (buy at first Madrid pharmacy, save for Morocco hammam) - Multiple "just in case" outfits (laundry exists) - Heavy jacket (June Mediterranean = 60-90°F, light layer covers everything) - Umbrella (cheap to buy if needed) - Books (Kindle only) - Anything you haven't worn in 30 days - ❌ Eddie: dress shoes / loafers / sandals — Vans does it all + buy €5 flips on arrival --- ## Open items / TBD - Currency: €500 + 2,500 DH ordered?
