Airline tickets: check. Room reservations: check. Packing for that long-awaited getaway vacation: well, that may need a little more thought! If you're anything like me it means you absolutely love vacations and as always choosing what to pack would always be a challenge. I have picked out some key pieces (above) to complement each of the different activities you’ll surely be partaking in during your vacation, from a nice dinner date to sightseeing, each of these stylish and cohesive looks will have you basking in vacation bliss in no time!
Top Tips to Pack: What to Take
Clothing
Choose clothes appropriate for the climate. (see picture 1: Light fabrics were chosen) If you are going somewhere warm and leaving a cold climate consider leaving a set of warm clothes in the car if you are leaving it at the airport, or with friends if you are being collected.
Stick with one basic color scheme preferably a dark one which won't show marks and wrinkles so much.
Make clothing items do double duty, men's shorts can be double as swimming trunks, a woman's tankini top can be an evening top (see below picture). A tank top pairs perfectly with grey shorts for daytime adventure, large sunglasses, flipflops and an island must have; a straw hat. The same tank-top paired with a wide leg long pants and a statement hand band makes the perfect ensemble to a magical Caribbean sunset dinner.
You can do this same "double up" with a shirt for instance, it can be layer over a dress in place of a jacket.
Take multiple thinner items which can be layered instead of one bulky heavier piece.
A sarong can be the most useful item you take doubling as a skirt, dress, shawl, beach towel, top sheet and a tablecloth. You can even use it as a bag in a pinch! (receive instructions in my next post)
Shoes are always difficult: heavy and bulky. Try to wear your heaviest/bulkiest pair on the plane. I try to limit myself to 3 pairs: a pair comfortable for walking extended distances, a pair of sandals or flip flops and a dressy pair for evening!
So what are you waiting for? Go pack!
