Choose your travel clothes wisely

One of the most difficult aspects of travelling is packing for the trip. Arranging for the right travel clothes can be quite difficult. While you don’t want to carry too many things and make your suitcases heavy you also don’t want to take too little and look unprepared. Here are a few packing tips that will help you plan well before you head off to your destination.

1 Consider the weather
Fashion might be important to you in your everyday life, but when you’re thinking about travel clothes, comfort matters. You will have to walk around exploring new places, so you should pack clothes that are comfortable. Do some research beforehand on the weather of the place. One item that you must not forget no matter what the forecast says is a lightweight rain jacket.

2 Bring sturdy clothes
The last thing you would want on a long trip is a delicate item that you can only wear once before having to take it to the dry cleaners. Expensive items and fancier materials should be left at home. Instead, opt for clothes that you know you can wear several times without washing, and that will be easy to clean when you get home.

3 Do a wardrobe refresh
One of the best ways to get excited about an upcoming trip is to buy new clothes and accessories. Set a reasonable shopping budget, and start looking for new items that will fit in well with your vacation location.

4 Consider the culture
If you’re travelling to explore a new culture, you should make sure that you’re being respectful of the local customs. Styles and dress codes are not same everywhere in the world, and that’s something you should be aware of. There are a lot of resources online for finding out the appropriate dress for different locations. So do some research beforehand.

5 Pick a colour scheme
If you’re worried about fitting everything into a carry-on bag, it can be helpful to pick a colour scheme. White and black, for example, is always classic. Or you may want to be a little bolder, and pack neon colours. Whatever you choose, matching all your clothes and accessories to that colour scheme can help you save space.
