Few things in life are more thrilling than booking a plane ticket, packing a bag (or five!), and leaving the confines of the place you call home for an adventure. And after a long pause, there’s a good chance you’re more than ready to really travel again. Maybe you’re planning a vacation halfway across the globe, or perhaps you’ve got your eye on a retreat that’s relatively close by. Regardless of whether you’re lifting off or checking in just a short trip away, “the point is not the destination but the actual going—the journey, the leaving,” Balmain creative director Olivier Rousting recently said. In fact, the sentiment inspired his new Fall 2021 collection. And the journey becomes infinitely more exciting when you step on board dressed to the nines—à la the four looks ahead, each perfectly accessorized with a Balmain B-Buzz bag. No plane ticket? No problem. Just apply these spirited style ideas to wherever it is you can’t wait to arrive.
In homage to BAZAAR’s legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland and her iconic advice column, we have a few questions: Why don’t you…
Glimmer All the Way to the Gate

A vacation is the perfect time to wear all the things you deem a bit too extra for your everyday life. Why not get started as you make your way to the gate? (Or to your rented convertible.) Allow the season’s most fetching metallic pieces to reflect the joy and excitement you feel about your upcoming travels. And if you’re heading to somewhere like Vegas, Miami, or Ibiza, you’ll be dressed for revelry upon arrival. We like to balance all that shine with a solid suede bag in a dark neutral like green olive or navy. But even a solid B-Buzz bag can match the high energy of your metallic ensemble: Opt for one festooned in fringe!

Pack Some Patent Leather for the Weekend

Wherever you’re going, you’ll likely need versatile outerwear that will work for various outings, both day and night. Enter the wonders of patent leather—sophisticated enough for a family or business lunch with ample shine for a night out. The structure of a patent coat or jacket reads very pulled together while the glossy finish says, “Let’s have some fun with fashion, shall we?” Throw in another texture or two by way of a canvas B-Buzz, complete with signature burnished gold accents. If you’re in the mood to dial your look down a bit, use the sleek top handle to tote the handbag and tuck away the strap.
Spend a Layover Lounging in Logos

Is that a famous socialite or an international DJ? Have I seen them on TV or are they a street-style star? These questions will be swirling in the minds of onlookers as you lounge in the airport, awaiting your flight covered in logos. While there are some trends best left in the past, the appeal of logomania endures. The look is bold, luxurious, and a bit tongue-in-cheek all at once. Of course, if you’re in Balmain logo attire you’ll need an emblazoned B-Buzz bag to match. Extra style points if you elongate the bag’s adjustable—and removable—leather strap and wear it crossbody style. More is more!
Master First Class in a Matching Set

Another solid choice for your journey is slipping into one of the reigning MVPs of style, the matching set. A coordinating skirt and jacket combo is fun, effortless, and the ideal base for showing off your excellent taste in accessories—from sky-high heels to a perfectly-structured bag. We love a matching set for weekend getaways, when plans can involve everything from an indulgent brunch to a trip to a museum to a shopping excursion. This travel must-have requires minimal planning yet offers maximum impact, and who doesn’t love that? Bon voyage!
