Building a perfect Travel Wardrobe, 5 Top Tips



1. Get Organized. Write out every day you will be traveling and what you will be doing each day. Based on your itinerary create each complete outfit you will want to bring. Include everything from shoes, to accessories to outerwear. Document every outfit in writing or with photo’s. Make sure you bring this documentation with you.

2. Weather is often unpredictable when traveling. The garments you take should be good layering pieces. You want to be ready for anything when you are far from home and will have limited choices from your suitcase. Make sure you have something for cold weather and something if you need to cool off.

3. Every item you pack needs to work in two or more complete outfits. You can wear most clothes more than once before washing, so plan on using the same outfits with slight tweaks. Try simply changing a shirt or adding an accessory.

4. Accessorize! Scarves, cloth belts and Jewelry are easy to pack and don’t take up much room so keep your outfits simple and use these to create variety and style.

5. Choose great traveling garments for your traveling wardrobe. Good traveling pieces must be low maintenance, in fabrics like knits, jerseys, and microtecks. Great pieces are also, ideally multifunctional. Multifunctional is particularly important for bulkier pieces that take up room in your luggage, like shoes and coats.
