Tan France shares the 3 things he always packs in his carry-on when traveling to Europe

• Tan France recently shared his packing tips and tricks with Insider.
• France said he always packs three items when he's taking just a carry-on around Europe.

As summer travel continues to remain chaotic, more and more people are losing their luggage. So it's no surprise many travelers are sticking to carry-ons — including Tan France.

The "Queer Eye" star recently spoke with Insider about his new style guide with Trainline, and he was happy to share his essential carry-on packing tips (and how to not look like a tourist in Europe).

"Whilst I'm traveling around Europe, I try to only take my carry-on, just because it is so much easier," France said. "If you're going for four to five days, you can get everything you need into your hand luggage without an issue."

There are three things France always packs in his carry-on, he said, including a great pair of jeans.

"They go with pretty much everything," he said. "You can dress them up or dress them down."

France also always travels with a pair of comfortable sneakers.

"I wear a boot when I'm traveling because that's a heavier, chunkier option that's going to fill up my suitcase," he said. "So I pack a pair of sneakers because, when you're walking around Europe, you're going to need comfortable shoes."

"We don't use public transport anywhere near as much as we do in the US," he added. "So take some great comfortable sneakers that you've worn a thousand times."

And last but not least, France always packs a small bag of accessories.

The fashion designer recommends sticking to a neutral wardrobe while traveling with just a carry-on, and he said accessories are the perfect way to spice things up.

"If I'm taking something like a white T-shirt or a black T-shirt, I can dress it up and make it look different depending on the kind of accessories I pack," France said.

"I usually take at least two belts, a couple of neck scarves, hats — anything I can fit into the size of a toiletry bag," he added.

France also always sticks to costume jewelry when he's traveling.

"Quite frankly, I lose shit a lot," he said with a laugh. "I'm not really focusing as much as I should when I'm packing and moving from one place to another. I just know eventually I'm going to leave my rings on the sink of a hotel or my necklace somewhere, so I try not to travel with them."

Whenever he's taking just a carry-on, France said he also always wears his jacket on the plane.

"When you're trying to pack a piece of outerwear that's a little thicker, it's using so much room that you could use for something else," he said. "So wear it!"
