Look fashionable and more importantly, feel great on your next
trip with these few tips. Choose a color scheme, bring the accessories,
and keep room in your bag for purchases. By packing right, you'll save
yourself time later. You'll be out seeing the sights and not worrying
about your outfit! This is a basic guide for packing, be sure to bring
other essential pieces you might need to be comfortable.
Basic black is a great to start with - it's simple during the day and elegant in the evening. Tan is another option to work with, especially during warmer months. Whichever base color you choose, it helps to have these items in that color: dress (an A line or empire waist is flattering), jacket, shoes, and bag (either messenger, backpack, purse, etc). These pieces are the foundation of your travel wardrobe. Depending on the length of your trip, you may need to pack a few dresses and an extra cardigan or sweater, which may be in your favorite complimentary color.
Once your basic pieces are in place, you can add accessories to mix up your ensemble. Start with a solid foundation, then add accessories. By changing up accessories, your outfit will look different each day without having to carry around many clothing options. A pashmina scarf can double as a pillow for a long flight and keeping your shoulders warm in chilly evenings. Smaller square scarves may be tied around your neck or tied to your purse for a pop of color. Statement jewelry such as necklaces and earrings can glam up a basic outfit in a moment.
Pack a few different colored t-shirts and button-up tops. Layer them on the dress to create an illusion of a skirt. The button-up top can be tied in a knot to create a nice waistline. Patterned tights or leggings instantly change your look, so try to focus on colors that will complement the statement jewelry. Headbands are a fun compliment to any outfit. With such options, you'll be able to transform your look in a moment.
Traveling light means saving room for souvenirs. As you travel and visit new places, take note of what the locals are wearing. Pick up a new pair of sandals, jewelry, a handbag, or a scarf. You can make instant use of it during your travels. Unlike most typical souvenirs, you will use it upon returning home. I found a vintage red handbag at a Dublin flea market, which is wonderful reminder of my trip.
Feeling good and looking fashionable on your trip is possible with a bit of planning. Take pieces you feel comfortable in, add accessories, and save a bit of time to shop during your travels. You will set yourself apart from the other tourists, feel great, and have a few fashionable finds before heading home.
