Even Esquire, that harbinger of fashion and trends since 1933, admits that style isn't the most important consideration when choosing a luggage brand. "Luggage is more about practicality," the site says, pointing out that individual traveling style should take a back seat to your luggage needs and the features you'll require.
Consider the length of your trip, the reason for it (Business? Pleasure? A bit of both?), and what you'll need to wear while you're away from home. Many travelers advise leaving a bit of space in your luggage, and we agree; we always pick up souvenirs and/or swag while on the road, and a stuffed suitcase on your way out might not be able to contain everything you come home with.
Other luggage considerations, according to the experts at Good Housekeeping:
• Soft or hard: Soft-sided luggage can expand to fit a few extra items or compress into tight spaces. It often has more pockets and organizational compartments too, into which last-minute items can be tucked. And in small automobile trunks and cargo holds, a soft suitcase might squeeze into places a hard-shell bag won't.
But for protection and durability—and of course, pickup-truck beds—hard-sided luggage is the way to go. Usually made of polycarbonate or aluminum, suitcases with solid shells are often lighter and much more hard-wearing than soft luggage. Waterproofing (or at least water-resistance) is vastly improved. Best of all, modern polycarbonate materials are tougher and lighter than ever. They're far easier to clean too.
• Size & style: Most luggage brands offer suitcases in both carry-on as well as checked-in sizes. For road trips, this might not be as much of a consideration—until you try to stuff a checked-size suitcase into the cargo hold of a sports car. Get the right size for the trip you're taking. If you're just headed out of town for the weekend, a small, lightweight, compressible duffle bag might suit your needs—and look fantastic over your shoulder as you're strolling through the hotel lobby.
For business trips, consider what you'll wear while on the job. If you need a change of nice clothes on your trip, a foldable garment bag and a small weekender for casuals might be all you need.
• Mobility: There's no excuse anymore to lug around a suitcase without wheels. If you're considering buying one, don't. Most modern suitcases and even large gear duffles offer wheels to make moving through airports and parking lots far smoother and easier. Any wheeled luggage should also have a telescoping handle to make toting it around and packing it away that much easier.
If you do opt for a suitcase, go for what's known as a spinner, with four rotating wheels that offer 360 degrees of freestanding mobility. If you must go without wheels, opt for a duffle or garment bag instead of a case.
• Extra features: As modern luggage gets lighter and better, it also gets more helpful and practical. (And, yeah, probably more expensive too.) Look for things like exterior compartments or pockets that offer easy access to valuables without opening the luggage—or sacrificing security. Many modern luggage brands offer TSA-approved Li-ion batteries to charge devices on the go. Locks, telescopic handles, side handles for easy lifting, hard-shell corners for durability—the list goes on and on. So unless you're really trying to save money on luggage, there's no reason to skimp on features.
