There's a lot that goes into looking for the right carry-on luggage. Obvi you want one that's heavy-duty, spacious, and compact enough to fit in most airplane overhead bins. Y'know, the technical stuff! But, let's be real here, you also want a cute carry-on luggage because your ~airport outfit aesthetic~ is important. (Relatable.)

TBH, finding a nice piece of luggage that checks all the boxes ain't always easy. You either get a drab suitcase that's hella strong or a beautiful one that's actually flimsy AF. But you don't have to go through the stress of shopping through the thousands of carry-ons out there on the interweb, because I've helped ya out and gathered a bunch of cute carry-on luggage (with wheels!) you can trust to be long-lasting.

Below, you'll find chic and durable options that can withstand being thrown around at baggage claim and will also make your Instagram vacay pics look f-i-r-e (priorities). A lot of them even have all sorts of cool and handy features, too! Some come with ejectable USB chargers, expandable room, and even scratch-resistant hardshell exteriors. Love to see it!

This gray beauty is small but mighty. It features a durable, yet lightweight hardshell as its exterior and it has a textured finish to prevent scratching.

IMO, this gem screams travel influencer. If you wanna look like the chicest jetsetter in the airport, opt for this vintage-inspired beauty that is made of recyclable materials.

The people love the Away Carry-On for a reason! This style is larger than a regular carry-on, but can still fit in most overhead bins. Not only is it sleek and nice on the eyes, but it's also really useful and versatile with its ejectable USB charger and TSA-approved combination lock.

A bold-colored carry-on is a cute way to add a pop of color to your airport look. Grab this bright stunner for your next trip that has a hard shell front pocket—this means easy, yet protective access to whatever you want to have on hand

If you're looking for a luxe carry-on, I suggest looking into this design from Roam. Its two-toned colorway is so elegant (and will make you feel like a first-class flyer)—plus, it has an ergonomic handle grip to make rolling super comfy for you.

This pretty bb was inspired by the sandy coast, and it's expandable, so there's room for whenever you overpack (which is, maybe, all the time).

You'll be the coolest one onboard when you have this gorge, monochromatic accessory by your side. It's sturdy, extendable, and has a zip pouch inside to hold your tinier, more delicate items.
