Why I Love a Good Luggage Set

My favorite thing about a good luggage set? Oddly enough, it's storing the bags. I love the way they fit snugly inside one another, letting me keep tons of packing capacity stored neatly away in a corner. The sheer efficiency of it is both convenient and satisfying. I also enjoy the uniformity of a stylish set—if I like a bag's looks, I might as well get it in multiple sizes. And it's great how a luggage set can provide one perfect bag for each member of your family (depending on your family's size, of course). When we go on a trip, for instance, my wife usually takes the biggest suitcase in our set, while I much prefer the carry-on. Three- and four-piece luggage sets let your little ones claim one of the bags for their own. Finally, I love the savings that usually come with buying my suitcases in a bundle rather than separately. It's almost like buying in bulk, but each item is different in size.

For years now, my wife and I have enjoyed a since-discontinued set from Traveler's Polo & Racquet Club, but we might be getting to the point where a new set is warranted. All of the options in our roundup of the best luggage sets of 2022 are winners, but I've got my eye on a few in particular:

July Classic Family Set: I love the looks of July's luggage, and this three-piece set comes in a wide range of color palettes. The checked suitcase also performed well in our lab tests of best checked luggage.
Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside Luggage Set: Travelpro is a favorite of pilots and flight attendants for a reason: high-quality products. The brand's pieces topped our list in testing for the best checked and best carry-on luggage. This set delivers that product reliability in a chic, hardside package.
Coolife Luggage 2-Piece Set: This is about as affordable as it gets for a luggage set, and it looks like a higher-end brand like Away or July.

As you look for a good luggage set, be sure to consider the sizes of the bags included, as well as things like material, durability, price, and maneuverability. And, of course, pick a set with an aesthetic that excites you. Happy traveling!
