Whether its just a vacation week or a business trip , its sometimes quite a hassle figuring out what to pack .🤔 It gets even more puzzling when you’ve got luggage restrictions.

Well ……one secret is that, it’s not very difficult once you take it a bit at a time. Here are somethings you’d want to consider when choosing clothes for travel.

1. Essentials

There are some very important clothing items you just can’t go anywhere without.

• Undergarments/underwear
• Pyjamas /nightgowns
• Slippers/flip-flops
• Tops , shirts
• Trousers/jeans/skirts/shorts
• Dresses
• Light weighted jacket
• Casual shoes.

2.The Destination

The climate the season and the culture of the of your destination have to determine the type of clothes you choose. Blazers , jackets , scarves , boots , socks and sweaters should be chosen when visiting a colder place. For visiting places in the summer or in the equatorial or tropical regions you must choose light weighted clothes to make movements very comfortable.(and less sweaty👍) . Also a lot of research must be done so as to prevent offending other cultures with your clothes.

3. The purpose

When going for tours , it’s advisable to bring along comfy outfit especially if you’ll be walking a lot. I’m sure you wouldn’t enjoy hiking or walking around in high heels 😅👠. Nope 😬. Some flats , sneakers, sandals or convers and a pair of jeans , skirts and some simple T-shirts will do .

But for business trips💼👔 , you’ll definitely have to bring along formal outfits (suits, blazers, neckties, etc) . And for formal occasion and evening events : black tie outfits, jewelry, gowns and heels .

4. Duration.

Imagine running out of clothes on the 3rd of the 7 days of your vacay. Pack according to how long you’ll spend . Pro tip( don’t over-pack, essentials first)

• Round up
• 2 dresses or jumpsuits,
• 2 pairs of jeans and skirts each ,
• some fun tops , light weighted jacket,
• sneakers, sandals , slip-ons and some other casual stuff (don’t forget the sunglasses for summer)😎😎.
• Formal outfits for business and black tie outfits for evenings.
• Ear muffs, gloves , scarves, jackets and coats , socks and boots(cold destinations)
• Jewelry (watches, earrings, bracelets….)(alternative)

• Other non-clothing essentials
• Toiletries
• Wallet
• Important documents
• Water bottle
• Chargers
