Avoiding Fashion Faux Pas: Four Simple Tips to Packing for a Getaway

Whether you’re alone or with a group, traveling is always fun— meeting new people, eating local food, and getting enchanted by the scenery and landscape of the place. And when you find a spot with a breathtaking view, locking it in your memory isn’t just enough— you’ll want to take a picture immersing yourself in the mesmerizing surroundings.

Taking the perfect travel photo requires the perfect outfit for each scenery. You’ll want to blend in with the crowd, but still stand out. However, you can’t bring every wardrobe you have with you, or else you’ll be charged a lot for your luggage! 

So, here are four packing tips we’ve got to make sure you’re always picture-ready no matter where you go.

Fill your luggage thoughtfully 

It’s the most common mistake travelers make— they overpack. You won’t have to bring every little thing you have with you, only the essentials. 

Create a master list of what you’ll need during the trip, from clothes to toiletries. And, don’t deviate from it! This way, you can ensure you won’t bring items you won’t actually use.

For example, bring clothes that can create diverse ensembles. Fill your suitcase with outfits that can be mixed and matched at different times. Also, think of your itinerary. If you’re going to the beach, say goodbye to boots and heavy coats! 

Take emergency supplies with you

It’s not uncommon to experience clothing mishaps while you’re on a trip; so it’s always best to have emergency supplies ready.

You can remedy most clothing malfunctions in just a few minutes with the right supplies. Take with you safety pins, double-sided tape, and a sewing kit in your bag as a remedy to wardrobe malfunctions such as loose hems, broken straps, gaping necklines, and split seams.

Make the most of your luggage space

Now that you know what to pack, the next thing to do is to know how to pack.

The key to maximizing your luggage space is prioritizing. Pack your essentials first, only bringing items that you’ll actually use for your whole trip such as chargers, toiletries, clothes, and emergency supplies. Also, be creative in packing by employing innovative packing techniques such as using Ziploc bags and packing cubes for your stuff.

Bring the right undergarments

What’s more annoying during a trip than forgetting the right undergarment for a great outfit? You’ve got no choice but to leave it hanging in your hotel closet just because you didn’t bring the perfect underwear for it!

This is why your undergarments matter during your getaway. Seamless underwear and sleek T-shirt bras usually work with any type of outfit, in any weather. However, you should also take strapless bras with you, just in case you’ll wear something fancy while you’re away.

Avoid fashion faux pas during your trip

Making a memorable vacation isn’t only about the people you’re with or the places you go— it’s also about the outfits you wear. By planning your wardrobe thoroughly, you can make an impression on the locals with your fashion sense and make picture-perfect memories that’ll last a lifetime!
