I’m not sure if I’m ready to say these are the most brilliant travel item ever invented, but catch me after my next four-hour city tour, and I just may capitulate. MP Magic Socks are odorless socks designed for travel. Available in crew and ankle styles in black, navy and grey, these unisex wonders are woven from a techy fabric that includes silver, copper and zinc — all proven odor controllers.

All three metals are fused with fabric in a process that yields a super soft, comfortable and highly durable material that can be washed like other socks. Antibacterial components add another layer of odor control, and the fine gauge knit makes them attractive and appropriate for dressy moments. They ship worldwide and come in a variety of international sizing options.

The eco-geek in me also loves the recycled plastic, classic sunglass frames from Sunski. Offering a Forever Warranty and polarized lenses, this San Francisco company also donates 1 percent of sales to environmental non-profits — making me feel good and offering the perfect excuse for owning more than one pair. Inspired by a collection of vintage Aussie sunglasses belonging to one of the company’s founders, Sunski launched a successful Kickstarter campaign that resulted in a range of wonderfully comfy, giddily stylish frames that include the new Chalet series. The retro 1970s Aviator silhouette comes in Grey Sky and Tortoise Forest.

The Sunski collection also includes a host of other styles, lenses and frame colors. The website has a handy guide to help you choose the best size and shape for your face — and selections based on whether your style goal is beach, city or woodsey.
