Fashion is a statement that you make through your attire or the way you carry yourself. Be it at your workplace or during a casual party, your dresses tend to make a point. Now on usual occasions, it is comparatively easy to decide as to what should be your fashion game. But it takes a toll on you when you are out on a trip. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to be all decked up from hilt to toe. You would want something easy breezy. For instance, if you are in Hamptons, and you are chilling with your coterie of friends by the side of a plush swimming pool at some luxurious Hamptons rentals, what would be your choice of attire then? You might just simply wear a tank top or an oversized shirt, paired with denim shorts. The casual look will not only make you feel comfortable but will also give you an uber cool look. Similarly, there are a number of ways to stay stylish while you are traveling. So, instead of going all bananas about what to pack and what not while going on a trip, follow some of these style mantras.
The ambience of the destination:
Before you are packing your bags make sure you are aware of the ambience of the place you are flying down to. Now, if you are going to Paris you wouldn’t carry a pair of torn jeans and some over-sized shirts. You would go for something sleek and stylish. Similarly, if you are making your way to Mauritius, you will carry a swimsuit, or a monokini or a bikini. You wouldn’t carry a gown to Mauritius. Style yourself according to the flavour of the destination you are travelling to.
Accessories:
Accessories are like the cherries on a toothsome pastry. Accessories not only make you look stylish but also help you up your fashion game. For instance, you are going out for a dinner at some beach side restaurant and all you have is a tank top and pair of jeans. Now instead of just pairing the denim with the tank top, you can accessorize yourself to the T, looking all cool and stylish. Accessories are the most important thing especially when you are on a move. They are like the lender of last resort. So, do not forget to carry your favorite accessories while on a trip.
Always choose comfort:
While you are on a vacay, the foremost thing you should take care of is the comfort. You usually go for a vacay to chill and let go of the work blues, now in case you are not at your comfortable best, you wouldn’t be able to make the most of your trip. Your clothes make your trip comfortable. Now if you choose to wear a slit dress while you are climbing a steep terrain, you will obviously find yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Choose some stylish basics. For instance, shorts, ripped or tampered jeans, shirts, tank tops, tube dresses, jumpsuits, are the best when you are off for a vacay. You look stylish only when you are comfortable in your skin. So, you should always wear something which is comfortable, even while you are travelling.
Do as the Romans do:
Now, every place has got a local market. Often local markets sell attires which represent the flavour of the place it is situated in. For instance, if you go to Goa and visit some of the Goan shops by a beach side, you will find tons of flowery and flowy dresses. These dresses are etched with a Goan flavour. So if you are one of those who like to soak up the feel of a place to its fullest, then local shops are something which you shouldn’t miss out on. And lastly, remember when in Rome do as the Romans do.
Swap clothes:
Swap clothes when you are on a trip with your fav group of friends. There are times when your backpack fails to amuse you. In such cases, your friends come to your rescue. Go for the exchange option. In case you are planning to hit the local pub and you don’t have the perfect dress that will suit you, and you end up finding the apt attire lying in your friend’s bag, just go for it. Swap your way put for a stylish night.
Repeating isn’t bad:
You can’t repeat your clothes on your usual days, but while you are traveling you can obviously do so. Travelling means new places, new faces. So, none of the blokes around you will remember what you wore last night or day before yesterday. So instead of racking brains over the quintessential question “to repeat or not to repeat”, just go for it. And in case you are too finicky, accessorize it with stuff that will make a difference to your attire and your look.
Pack something special for a day:
In case you are off for a trip in order to usher in some special occasion, carry your favourite outfit for the day. After all, who wouldn’t want to be at his/her best on the special day you have been waiting for.
So, now that you have all the potions that will up your fashion game even while travelling, pack your bags and get, set, go. Cut the most stylish frames and make the most of your trip. And make sure you look good and stylish.
