If you've been contemplating taking a weekend trip, science says a three-day getaway can be better for your mental health since there is less stress planning them and they are more cost-effective than extended vacations. Sounds like a win-win to us. One of the other perks is you can pack less.
Well, if you're not a known over-packer (which we can all be at times). To help you stay effortlessly fly while you fly, I have tracked down eight weekender bags that not only have enough space to hold your stuff but are stylish too.

1.LOMAO Travel Duffel Bag
Amazon
What stood out to me about this bag when I was scrolling through Amazon was the pricing and the design. I've bought a couple of bags from Amazon, and some haven't held up as well as I hoped. Since this bag is made with waterproof and tear-resistant Oxford fabric, this one might just hold up!
2.Delsey Helium 360 Weekender Bag
Vacationers, this weekender was made for you! With this sleek lightweight bag, it's safe to say this bag should be in the running as your new weekender. Though compact, this bag is rather spacious with an extra pocket and pouch for easy and convenient access to your travel essentials. Get your long weekend on in style!
3.Pardon My Fro Tribe Yellow Duffle
I am a long time fan of Pardon My Fro. So when I saw the line expand into travel accessories, I added their duffle to my wish list. Their nylon bags come in two sizes, and if you ever check this bag, you won't have any trouble finding it at baggage claim.
4.BÉIS The Weekender
Need to buy a new travel bag and want to empower and educate girls around the world? BÉIS' weekender bag made with a water-resistant liner, a padded laptop sleeve, and an external pocket to store items you'll need as you make it through airport security will help you stay organized on the run — and your purchase will support Girl Up.
5.Sole Society Mason Weekender
I love a good faux leather bag. The Mason has a spacious leopard print lining, a bottom shoe compartment, and a removable crossbody strap.
6.EVERLANE The Twill Weekender
The EVERLANE brand prides itself on providing high-quality clothing and accessories at affordable price points. Their weekender bags are no different. Their water-resistant, cotton twill bag comes with sturdy leather straps, and one reviewer said it was so roomy, they packed "four days of stuff in here, including two pairs of shoes."
7.365 Large Landon Neoprene Carryall Duffle Bag
If packing cubes are a must-have for you, the carryall bag is made with you in mind — as the bag does all of the organizing for you. You can store your laptop (up to 15 inches), water bottle, shoes, and of course your clothes in this 100% neoprene, hand-washable tote.
8.AWAY The Weekender
The AWAY suitcase came onto the travel accessory scene and shook the table with its sleek, durable design. In April, the company added The Weekender to its line up. Designed with a padded laptop pocket and separate shoe compartment, you'll be able to organize your travel gear without too much thought.
