Fear no more the stresses of packing for your next vacation. Master the art of packing smart and stylishly with the following tips, allowing you to travel in the lap of fashionably packed luxury.

Choose Neutral Colours

Neutral colored clothing such as white, black, khaki, navy, and beige never go out of style, and provide the perfect canvas for colorful scarves, purses, and accessories that’ll have you looking sharp. These colors are also easier to mix ‘n match, providing more clothing options in fewer articles of clothing.

Invest in Versatile Pieces

In terms of sprung-it, versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down are your savior. Choose pieces that coordinate well with the items in your travel wardrobe – a white blouse can become fancy with a statement necklace or dressed down with a denim jacket. Multifunctional items like a scarf can be used as a headwrap, wrap skirt, or a sarong. Invest in a few lightweight jackets that can pull double duty.

Buy Quality Over Quantity

Don’t buy into the mindset that you need an entirely new wardrobe for every vacation. Invest in quality pieces that can easily fit into your travel wardrobe, like a blazer that can be worn with jeans or a cocktail dress. Quality items last longer and be used for multiple trips, while cheaper items may only last the course of one.

Pack In Layers

You don’t need to bring every item of clothing you own for a trip. Instead, opt for the concept of ‘less is more’. Pack items that are lightweight and can easily be layered. Follow the three-outfit-rule: a day, an evening, and a party outfit. Opt for items that are light and packable, such as crisp white shirts, lightweight sweaters, and leggings.

Utilize Accessories

Accessories can help you spruce up your outfits. Pack things that can be used for multiple purposes. Scarves can be used as a wrap, a belt, or a beach cover-up. A big floppy hat can also double as a beach hat. Bring along a few costume pieces of jewelry to spice up an outfit. Accessories are a great way to spruce up any outfit without the hassle of packing a whole new look.

Avoid Inner Luggage Stress

The last thing you want to deal with is laundry on your vacation. Make sure to pack a few extra items just in case the weather changes suddenly or you have a wardrobe malfunction. Consider packing a fabric lint roller for easy laundering solutions and packing cubes to save on space.

By following these tips, you should be able to pull off a fashion-forward wardrobe for your next vacation without the added stress of over-packing. Travel in style!
