When you’re getting ready to take a trip, whether it’s a short vacation or you’re going traveling for months, packing usually involves a fair amount of stress. You’ve got so much to pack, you’re not sure if everything’s going to fit into your luggage, and you’re dealing with the panic of thinking that you’ve lost your passport every fifteen minutes. (Don’t worry we’ve all done it!) However, few things are more of a pain to pack when you’re going traveling than clothes. You always feel like you’ve either packed too many clothes or not nearly enough. You feel like you must have forgotten something, or perhaps you’re not ready for what the weather is going to be like! All of these things can make the whole process seriously stressful. To help you avoid going insane, here are a few crucial things that you should focus on when trying to find the right fashions for your trip away.
Get Comfy on The Plane
Nothing is worse than having all of your clothes packed away and then realizing that you don’t have anything comfortable to wear when you’re on the plane. (Or train, or car, or any other vehicle!) It might not seem like that much of a big deal, but there is nothing more unpleasant than having to spend a long journey in tight fitting, uncomfortable clothes. To avoid this then stick to loose, light clothes that can breathe. Linen trousers for guys and long sundresses for women are perfect to stop you working up a sweat. Make sure that you go with shoes that you can slip off easily as well. The last thing you want is to end up boiling alive because you decided to wear boots on a twelve-hour flight.
Prepare for the Worst
In all likelihood, the weather is going to be exactly as you predicted when you arrive at your destination. However, if you assume that’s going to happen and don’t take any precautions then you can be sure that the weather is going to turn against you almost immediately! Make sure that you prepare for whatever the weather can throw at you. Bring along raincoats in case you hit monsoon season, as well as layers in the event that the temperature decides to take a nosedive. It’s frustrating enough not being able to hit the beach, the last thing you want is to turn into an icicle as well!
Always Bring Spares!
Look, this might not be the most glamorous travel advice that you ever receive, but it may well be the best and most important: bring spare underwear! It doesn’t matter what kind of trip you’re taking; you should always bring more clothes than you think you’ll need, especially underwear. The last thing you want is to end up having to do the old trick of wearing them front to back, and then inside out! That might be alright for the guys, but you’ll be grateful that you packed some extra pairs.
