With summer fast approaching come the plans for that well deserved summer vacation.
Whether a car trip to a spot by the lake or a sightseeing tour of a European destination, thoughts of every fashion conscious woman turn to what to pack.
Here are some suggestions to build your travel wardrobe around and best shops to find them:
1. Dress. Choose one that can go from day to evening, preferably in a non wrinkle fabrics ( no silk or linen) viscose blends are best.Black is the easiest colour to dress up or down, but a yellow or white will look the freshest for the summer season.
2. Cardigan ( cashmere or cotton) cardigan- essential for all kinds of weather.White or black will be the most versatile and will pull the rest of your wardrobe together.
3. Shoes: Choose ballet flats or gladiator sandals for daytime walking it will keep you in style and your feet will thank you at the end of the day. Select one pair of high heeled wedges for the evening. Have at least one of your shoes sport a snake or python print ,or go for the real thing. This is the most stylish look of the season.
4. Jeans: one pair comfortable jeans- for plane and casual wear, this is a universal staple item.
5. Black pants, skinny - paired with a tank top and a cardigan, easily goes from day to night look and can be dressed up or down as needed.
6. T-shirts, Tank tops - these don’t wrinkle, get in cotton or cotton blends and in different colors to brighten up your look. Bring at least one for every day.
7. Cashmere Shawl- this is a stylish look and will keep you warm on the plane and on chilly evenings. Personally love the sherbert colors in soft pink, mauve, gray, or turquoise.
8. Bathing suit and bathing suit cover up- find your best fit, one piece more versatile for travel. Black will be the most slimming, but choose a colorful cover up in a graphic or tribal print ( even with some sparkle to it). A pretty cover up can double as an evening top with a tank top or cami underneath.
As well, look for travel clothes who perform double duty. Shirts and hats that offer sun protection, shoes that offer to ”massage” your feet while you walk, shorts with multiple hidden pockets to protect your valuables.
