Travel in Style!
Holiday season is fast approaching, and with that is a much-needed edit of our travel wardrobe essentials. To take the sting out of your packing, we’ve curated a list of the items that will carry you through your trip — no matter the destination.The key lies in selecting pieces that offer maximum utility without compromising on elegance.
To maximise options, pack in clothes of at least two distinct lengths: a shorter option perfect for sunny days, and an elegant maxi or midi-length dress that can be dressed up with accessories fora romantic dinner or a night out. Opt for fabrics that are wrinkle-resistant and breathable, such as jersey or linen blends, to ensure comfort and ease of care when you’re on the go. Consider solid colours or subtle patterns that can be easily mixed and matched with other items in your luggage. My advice would be to pack at least two swimwear options as they can double up as alternative top choices. A full costume that has an interesting detail on the top like the option from Zara with the statement flower detail, can easily be paired with your jeans and a lightweight jacket for a night out look.
As a devoted denim enthusiast, no travel ensemble is complete without at least two pairs of jeans. They are comfortable and offer effortless styling capabilities, which make them indispensable. For this season, ensure you have the barrel-style denim and your wide-leg white option. Throw in lightweight jackets, like a relaxed blazer and a fluid jacket (one of the newest jacket trends around).
Add two fragrances to your vacation essentials. Having options allows you to switch up your scent depending on your mood, the occasion or even the destination.Choose a lighter, fresh scent for daytime adventures and a more intense, sophisticated aroma for evenings. The right fragrance can evoke memories and enhance your overall sense of well-being, adding an extra layer of enjoyment.
Remember your accessories like a scarf, sun hat, sandals and eyewear to protect you from the harsh sun. Most importantly enjoy your well deserved vacation!
