Are you planning a holiday getaway soon? Then you might be equally excited and anxious about the prospect of packing the right outfits and styling them so you can look your best throughout your trip, day or night.
But no need to worry! Today we’ll share our best fashion tips with you so you can always stay on your A game whether you’re sipping martinis at the beach or going to visit tourist hotspots.
Tips for Packing Right
Figuring out what to pack for the perfect holiday getaway can be a stressful task. You need your most stunning outfits to make your holiday photos memorable but you also need to keep your comfort in mind.
Fortunately, you don’t have to pick between one or the other. You can have a holiday wardrobe that is not only stylish but also comfortable by packing the right stuff.
1. Pack Complete Outfits
If you’re like most people, you likely throw in random pieces of clothing in your luggage bag, without any sort of prior planning. But if you’re going on a vacation, you need to sort out the entire look, or else you’ll be left with clothes that don’t match when paired together. So always plan complete outfits. Half up half down hairstyles are a versatile and festive option for holiday fashion, as they can be dressed up or down depending on your outfit.
Add plenty of versatile pieces like athleisure pieces, classic blue jeans, and an oversized t-shirt, stuff you can mix and match easily. Stick to a neutral color palette but also include some statement pieces with fun colors, patterns, and silhouettes to make an outfit pop.
2. Include Practical Bags
Mini clutches and handbags look cute but they won’t fit anything more than a few coins and maybe a small lipgloss. Pack light and versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of vacation outfits. However, those bulky backpacks and handbags aren’t just unsightly but also uncomfortable if you’ll be spending the entire day hopping from one place to another.
Your best bet is to go for trendy waist bags and crossbody bags that are not only cute but also super practical for carrying all your essentials with you throughout the day so you can be hands-free as you explore.
3. Carry Comfortable Shoes
Shoes take up the most space in a luggage bag. So, stick to only a pair or two that go well with all outfits. A pair of black boots and white sneakers are great options as they are comfortable and complement most ensembles.
You can ditch the boots if you are planning to pack light. Include a pair of heels if you have a formal event planned for your holiday or simply want to look dashing with a long, flowy dress.
4. Pick Light Jewelry & Accessories
You can elevate any look with the right accessories. So make sure that you are taking some versatile jewelry pieces to your holiday getaway. Light jewelry pieces like studded earrings, sleek chains, and simple rings are ideal for traveling.
They do not add unnecessary weight to your luggage and are prone to less damage in transit, unlike heavy and flashy jewelry. You should only take flashy jewelry if you packed an outfit that complements it.
A pair of sunglasses is essential when vacationing. You can accessorize an outfit with a stunning and practical wristwatch as well. However, you have to select the right watch to ensure it goes well with any outfit.
Styling Tips
Before you rush off to pack your suitcase, keep these styling tips in mind so you can include the right pieces of clothing to create head-turning looks throughout your trip, right from the airport.
1. Athleisure for the Perfect Airport Look
Start your vacation on the right note with comfortable yet fashionable clothing items that will make the exhausting plane ride slightly bearable. Athleisure pieces like leggings and sweatpants, mom jeans with oversized t-shirts, and flowy skirts with sweaters are great for a trendy airport look.
Consider taking inspiration from celebrity airport styles to see what matches your vibe and personal style.
2. Puffer Jacket for Your Trip to the Mountains
If you’re heading to the mountains for a magical time, then a puffer jacket is a must. These hyper-trendy jackets are perfect for winter vacations as they are insulated to protect you from the cold in style. You can layer them over almost anything and still look great!
3. Flannel Shirt for Light Layering
Visiting a place where the weather is just slightly chilly and not cold enough for a heavy jacket? Then, plan an outfit with a flannel shirt in a color combination of your choice to stay warm while serving looks. A flannel shirt is a classic that goes well with jeans and trousers.
4. Shorts for A Tropical Vacation
Warm weather and shorts go hand in hand. This comfortable and versatile clothing item can be dressed down with a simple t-shirt or dressed up with a vibrant silk blouse. With just the right pair of shorts in neutral colors, you can create multiple trendy looks for your vacation.
5. A Flowy, Floral Dress
Floral dresses are one of the easiest and comfiest outfits to put on, whether you’re at the beach or the mountains. Styling a floral dress is the easiest as most shoes and light jewelry will go well with it. Plus, they can be layered in multiple ways and look flattering on all body types.
6. Jumpsuits for a Contemporary Look
Bring an edge to your travel wardrobe with a jumpsuit. From runway models to fashion bloggers, everyone can be seen flaunting jumpsuits in their picture-perfect vacation posts. You can go for short jumpsuits in cotton or linen for beach vacations or long jumpsuits in denim or any other thicker material for destinations where the weather is a bit chilly.
Sparkling dresses and accessories are a popular fashion trend for women during the holiday season.
7. Matching Outfits
Going with your partner or your kids? Then don’t forget to create fun looks with all of them. You can easily create matching sibling outfits or couples outfits by pairing complementary silhouettes and colors. Pick something that fits the needs of everyone involved and style it up according to your tastes.
