Planning your summer travels? Stay stylish and comfortable with our top 10 travel summer style tips.
Summer is for fun colours and light fabrics
“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”
Creating a stylish yet practical summer wardrobe for travel involves considering comfort, versatility, and the specific needs of different destinations. Here are 10 travel summer style tips to help you look great and feel comfortable during your adventures:
1. Lightweight Fabrics
Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or moisture-wicking synthetics to stay cool and comfortable in warm weather. These materials are easy to pack and often wrinkle-resistant, making them ideal for travel.
2. Versatile Clothing Pieces
Pack clothing items that can be mixed and matched easily to create multiple outfits. Think staple pieces like neutral-colored tops, shorts, and skirts that can transition from day to night with simple accessories.
3. Sun Protection
Stay sun-safe with wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses with UV protection, and lightweight scarves or cover-ups to shield your skin from the sun. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen regularly.
4. Comfortable Footwear
Choose comfortable shoes suitable for walking and exploring, such as stylish sneakers, sandals, or lightweight hiking shoes depending on your activities. Ensure they are broken in before your trip to prevent blisters.
5. Pack a Swimsuit
Even if you’re not headed to the beach, a swimsuit is handy for hotel pools, hot tubs, or unexpected opportunities to cool off in natural bodies of water.
6. Layers for Cooler Evenings
Even in summer, evenings can be cooler, especially near water or at higher altitudes. Pack a light jacket, cardigan, or scarf that can be easily layered over your outfits when temperatures drop.
7. Neutral and Lightweight Accessories
Minimize jewelry and opt for lightweight accessories that complement your outfits. A versatile tote bag or crossbody purse is practical for carrying essentials while sightseeing.
8. Embrace Patterns and Colors
Incorporate vibrant patterns or colors into your wardrobe to add visual interest to your outfits. Floral prints, stripes, or bold hues can brighten up your summer look.
9. Practical Packing Techniques
Roll clothing to save space in your suitcase and reduce wrinkles. Use packing cubes or compression bags to organize and separate different types of clothing, making it easier to find items quickly.
10. Dress for Cultural Sensitivity
Research dress codes and cultural norms of your destination to ensure your clothing choices are respectful. In some places, modest attire may be required for visiting religious sites or participating in certain activities.
By following these tips, you can create a stylish and practical summer wardrobe that suits your travel adventures perfectly.
