Motorsports have always been cool, but they’re experiencing their real heyday right now. If you’re a fan who’s lucky enough to be attending a race IRL, you’ll want to plan to pack some trendy essentials to match the fearless vibe on the tracks. Whether you look forward to planning out every intricately-curated vaca outfit before folding clothes into color-coded packing cubes, dread throwing some essentials into a suitcase, or land somewhere in between, a solid packing list makes the whole experience easier so you can focus on the real fun: the actual trip (and all the cute ‘fit pics you’ll be getting).
Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30
By now, we all know the importance of sunscreen, but consider this the literal glow-up to your everyday SPF. Featuring a lightweight formula and shimmery finish, you’ll love wearing this alone for a natural glow, or under makeup as a dewy primer. Infused with refreshing aloe and hydrating hyaluronic acid, it’ll look great on your skin while doing good for it, too.
Glow Reviver Lip Oil
For those long hours of cheering in the stands, you’ll want to keep those lips nourished with e.l.f.’s tinted lip oil that features a blend of four fruity oils and squalane. The fresh, minty scent will feel nice and refreshing on the lips during long days of travel, and it comes in seven easy-to-wear tints — no makeup mirror required for touch-ups.
Catch:1 Portable Charger
A dead cellphone is never good, but it’d be a special shame to miss out on any opportunity to snap pics of your fashion-forward fan look. Courant’s ultra chic portable charger is made with a premium Italian leather to match those cool racer overalls.
The Leila Dress
Between the polka dots, short hemline, and halter neckline, Réalisation’s “The Leila” dress was practically made to match the drama happening on the tracks, but it has a flirty flare to it, too. The vintage look is totally on-trend, but we also love that it’ll be a comfortable item to wear from baggage claim through after-parties.
Janis Boot
We can’t get enough of this versatile boot featuring edgy buckle and front seam details. Hand buffed for a worn-in appearance, they go perfectly with this look, but you can easily wear the calf-length shoes year-round with practically any outfit.
Jordan Faux Leather Fitted Racer Moto Jacket
This list isn’t complete without a leather jacket, but this isn’t just another leather jacket. The stripes and bold buckle will pair perfectly with that selfie you plan on getting with your favorite driver, but you’ll also love having a stylish and light layering piece for when it gets chillier in the stands at night.
Yellow Outta Love Sunglasses
From those highlighter-hued cars to the overalls, we love the pop of color that the racetrack lends itself to. Featuring a bright yellow frame contrasted with gray lenses, we love the narrow, retro shape that’ll pair perfectly with your new fave dress.
Power Flash Disposable Camera
Yes, you’re seeing these everywhere now, and with good reason. We love the hundreds of selfies we’re hoarding on our phones, but there will always be something particularly special about holding a tangible memento of your most special (and stylish) memories. Better yet? This camera is ultra slim and will easily fit into any purse.
Mini Binoculars
These binoculars are so chic, we’d love to find any excuse to use them, but this one’s actually quite practical. Sure, the cool gold will look great around your neck, but you’ll have tons of fun seeing the drivers up close and personal, no matter where you’re seated.
