Ahh Memorial Day: beaches, bar-b-ques and bright sunny skies. The first long weekend to commence the summer is upon us, and we couldn't be more excited to get out of the city and into our new warm-weather clothes. Working in fashion, we know it's difficult not to be a heavy packer, even when you're only going away for a few days. So here it is, our picks for three one-bag Memorial Day getaways to the coolest destinations, each within a few short hours of New York City. And we've already done the packing for you, carefully outlined in the guide below. Happy holiday!

**With all of these guides, remember you will be wearing one of the daytime outfits to your destination. And, if you're like us, you'll probably be wearing most or all of the accessories too.
