Being a fashionista while you’re traveling is quite a task. But your travel outfits need to be on point for all those Insta-worthy pictures you’re planning to take throughout your trip. Being stylish on your trip doesn’t mean packing your entire wardrobe, by simple planning and clever packing, you can achieve all your outfit goals without having to pay for access luggage.
Here are some outfit ideas and packing tips that you can use for your next trip.
-
Jackets and trench coats:
A jacket is a must have for every vacation, be it a tropical beach vacation or a snowy mountains vacation. A jacket can be thrown over any outfit and they will make you look instantly more stylish. For your beach vacations, pack lightweight cotton jackets. Bomber jackets in funky prints are trending right now. These jackets are easy to pack and take very little space. For your winter, mountain vacations, pack heavier denim jackets, waterproof trench coats or winter coats depending on where you’re going and what temperatures you’re expecting. The best way to travel with heavy coats is to wear them rather then pack them in your luggage.

Multitasking pieces:
Packing smart is all about packing the right pieces for your travel. Instead of packing two casual tops and two party tops, find tops that can work for both day and night looks. Buy tops with bold prints like stripes, in dark colors or dresses in solid colors. For a day look you can style your tops with shorts, in the evenings you can style them with trousers or midi or maxi skirts. As for the dresses, you can wear them in day with a pair of open toe sandals, whereas in the evening you can throw on a jacket and some heels.

Mix and match:
Another rule of packing is to carry pieces that work with multiple pieces. Carry pieces that will help you create more than just one outfit. Believe it or not but it is possible to create ten outfits, with just four pieces. So, pack with a lot of thought, rather than emptying your entire wardrobe into your suitcase for your vacation. For example, a denim shirt can be worn as a shirt with shorts for one look, it can be worn as a light jacket for another. A maxi skirt can be paired with a number of tops and also work as a tube dress.
Being stylish and Insta-worthy on vacation isn’t really rocket science. It’s all about packing right.
