There are dozens of ways to travel. Some prefer to travel on a shoestring, staying in the cheapest hostels they can find on booking apps. Others pack a suitcase full of their favorite clothes and accessories and have the picture-perfect holiday in five-star locations. This article’s aimed at the latter type of traveler – those who want to dress to impress while also wearing and packing the right gear to make their trip comfortable as well as stylish. Here are four ideal additions to your suitcase for such a memorable trip.
Headbands
Long hair can get matted and dirty when you’re abroad in a hot climate, getting a little sweaty and pushing through crowded city streets. So something that can keep your hair ordered and looking great, despite your adventures, is the perfect addition to a suitcase packed for a stylish holiday. You can shop to be bold in this area, matching colors across your clothing so that your headband makes the rest of your outfit pop. Or go minimal, pairing a dark, simple headband with a flowing white dress to capture that carefree beach look.
Jewelry
When it comes to bejeweled accessories, you’ll want to be careful and selective about what you take abroad. As a general rule, if you’re traveling from place to place and your bag is at any kind of risk of getting lost or stolen, you may only wish to take a select, refined range of your jewelry. Single, custom made diamond rings in Sydney, Australia, made by Culet Jewellery, are perfect – there to be worn each day and thus safe on your finger. A couple of necklaces that work well with all of your outfits will also work well – keeping things simple across your trip.
Footwear
Chuck out the sandals and ban the flipflop: you can do better on your stylish holidays abroad. With prestige brands moving into the holiday footwear space, you can really set any outfit off with the right shoe – whether that’s a roman sandal designed for casual beach strolls or something a little more elegant for city trips and restaurant touring. If you have room in your suitcase, consider bringing a range of footwear – from flashy heels to women’s hiking boots. Just bear in mind all can be found at the major fashion labels, giving your footwear a little more punch and style.
Sunglasses
Perhaps the most important of all holiday accessories, sunglasses are both practical and stylish. Picking the right pair can take weeks of deliberation, as you consider both the shape of your face and the rims or lenses that you’re going to place onto it. Make sure you buy prescription sunglasses well in advance of your holiday if you live in spectacles – or buy a number of contact lenses to keep your vision sharp in your sunglasses. If you need help picking the right pair, try one of the websites online that’ll help you digitally try on dozens of the world’s most famous frames.
Pack these four accessories wisely in order to enjoy a memorable, stylish and picture-perfect trip.
