Top 5 Tips To Pack A Stylish Travel Wardrobe
Believe it or not, I’m traveling every month and looking chic is essential for my job. Perhaps for many that’s not a challenge, but for me, it is, because I like to travel with a carry-on. That means I need to be strategic every time I pack my clothes, shoes and accessories.
Sometimes I simply ask for help. Since being active on social media is part of my job, I need to switch up my wardrobe quite frequently.
How To look Stylish And Chic While Traveling
In case you are planning a trip and want to make sure you’re fashionable, stylish and chic, here are my top 5 travel wardrobe tips:
- Check the weather forecast and plan your outfits in advance.This will allow you to pack appropriate clothing and footwear.
- Always pack a light jacket. Denim is perfect because it goes with everything, can be dressed up or down, and it’s a classic. However, it won’t be enough if you’re going to someplace that’s windy, rainy or downright cold. For example, for San Francisco, I also took my leather motorcycle jacket.
- Pick a neutral color palette.Beige, black, navy or white are neutral colors that go with everything. If your key wardrobe pieces are in those hues, you will have multiple ways of combining tops and bottoms.
- Pack a dress. For spring and summer, prefer bright or floral prints. Also, a little black dress always comes in handy. You never know if you might need a dressier outfit for an evening out, and a LBD can be dressed up or down.
- Accessories give you more options. A clutch takes almost no space and looks great with evening outfits. Earrings, necklaces, belts, and scarfs can easily change your look without having to pack extra outfits.
