Luggage selection

Before you start packing, you need to decide whether you will be trying to cram everything into your backpack or if you will take a large suitcase with you. I always carry a backpack, but many of my friends prefer rolling bags. Both options have pros and cons.

Let's figure it out.

Suitcase / bag

  • It will be torture if you walk far from the bus / subway stop to the hotel and the inner toad will not allow you to call a taxi. By the way, sidewalks are not ideal everywhere in Europe.
  • When stuffing your bag, remember that you will have to carry it around the stairs and crowded streets.
  • It is best to take a suitcase with two powerful wheels. Four-wheel drive is great for airports and smooth surfaces, but unbearable on rougher terrains.
  • The suitcase is the perfect travel companion for the winter sales.

Backpack

  • Travel backpacks are great because they are easy to walk up stairs, in a crowd, and hands free.
  • On the other hand, a bunch of all sorts of crap behind your back can get mad in just 3-4 hours.
  • You should not take a backpack the size of a school - it will not be allowed in your hand luggage anyway. We recommend a volume of 45 liters.

A little about layers

Experienced guys will always choose several different sweaters instead of one huge sweater. This is the main secret (if anyone did not know).

This method helps you stay warm without bringing along sweaters that take up all the space in your bag.

  1. The base layer is the lowest. Designed to absorb your sweat.
  2. The middle layer is regular clothing. For example, shirt, sweatshirt, long sleeve, sweatshirt.
  3. The outer layer is a "protective shell" from wind, rain and snow. A membrane jacket is ideal.

Shoes

You can leave all these trendy "Adidas" and "Nike" at home (or put it on the plane), but you should not walk in such shoes. Buy yourself waterproof boots. European winters are cold and rainy / wet snow, precipitation is guaranteed.

Never take brand new shoes on your trip, be sure to carry them around. Buy a pair of insoles for extra comfort. Superfeets are not bad.

  • Timberland
  • Native
  • Fracap
  • Caterpillar
  • The north face

Now about clothes

Slim down jacket

It folds into a tiny handbag (about 30x15 cm) and warms up perfectly under the jacket. Those who once bought one for themselves consider it to be their most rational purchase in life.

Thermal underwear

The best is with merino wool. It absorbs moisture perfectly, removes odor / bacteria and dries quickly. Unfortunately, such things are quite expensive, but they serve for a long time.

You can also choose something synthetic. The main thing is to avoid cotton items (this also applies to socks), because cotton does not absorb sweat. In the case of socks, this leads to calluses and icy feet. By the way, thermal underwear can also become your pajamas (don't forget about the situation with heating in Europe).

Sports trousers

Which rustle. They will not get wet in the rain, and they are also really hard to get smeared with. Many brands have very good options that don't look too sporty.

Woolen trousers

It will be needed if you want to look more elegant, but not sacrifice warmth. The main thing is that it doesn't rain.

Class

If in the first part about choosing a wardrobe for rest we talked about hot countries, this time the focus is on a trip to Europe. When preparing for a European trip, the question of clothing is equally important. On the one hand, you should try to take with you as little as possible, but on the other hand, you must remember that your images will have to correspond to various events.

In addition, it is worth considering European culture. Street fashion in European cities does not always match the photographs from fashion blogs. Europeans prefer simplicity and comfort, but at the same time they try to look elegant.

Based on the above, I tried to create a European capsule for a few days of rest and for various events. In the suitcase went two dresses, trousers, shorts, a sleeveless blouse, a trench coat, a cardigan, three pairs of shoes and accessories.

Let's start with the choice of dresses, there are only two of them in the capsule. In the first place is a black dress from Topshop. His choice is more than justified, since most stylists have long proven the versatility of this item. The second dress is a summer version, a very delicate dress (despite the spiny cactus print) that will definitely come in handy.

Further to Europe, we send cropped trousers in dark blue and shorts-skirt. It is logical to take your favorite jeans with you, but since denim can be combined with everything, it is deliberately deleted from our capsule.

If you travel to Europe even in summer, it is possible that the weather will be rainy or just cloudy, so the capsule contains a trench coat and a cardigan in neutral shades. Another basic piece is a sleeveless blouse.

One roomy bag, two clutches and three pairs of shoes will complement our looks, if desired, this set can be reduced.

A watch and two necklaces will help us to "revive" our images.

This set violates the rules of our European capsule a little, because it contains two extra items. But we will consider it as a small introduction, as well as another ode to the little black dress. Even if your look is based on a black dress, the look can become unusual thanks to the silver pumps, in our case, created by design and a red bag. The casual look is a dress combined with a tote bag and comfortable black pumps. And the final option is a dress + sneakers (one of the trendy duets of the season), complemented by a neutral clutch.

The first look is a party option. The black dress was complemented by a necklace, miniature clutch and silver sandals with comfortable heels.

The second set is quite versatile, the image is suitable both for meeting friends and for a business dinner (in case your vacation is partially related to work issues).

In the third set, we changed the trousers to playful shorts, and the roomy bag gave way to a clutch. The look has become more casual and is quite suitable for shopping and cafes. Here it can be noted that taking a couple more T-shirts or tops with you, this image can serve you for several more days, only slightly changing.

The fourth set is inspired by the romantic mood. A light dress and ballet flats will be indispensable for walking on a sunny day. And if we replace the "flat run" with silver shoes, we get a charming look for a date.

The last set will be bonus again. It is inspired by pop art and this summer's fashion trend - sport chic. Skirt shorts in combination with a "comic" sweatshirt and silver sneakers complement the outfit with the original clutch from Kotur. We get the perfect image to get into the blogs of European street photographers.

After booking tickets and hotels for recreation, tourists have the question of what to take with them on a trip from clothes. Unfortunately, it is impossible to stock up on absolutely everyone; it is impossible to predict different scenarios on vacation.

Therefore, experienced travelers / tourists have made a number of recommendations for those who are just starting to spend their holidays in distant and near countries.

Basic tourist wardrobe in summer

First of all, you need to decide on the style - you should not throw everything in suitcases, since an openwork blouse can hardly be combined with sneakers with thick soles.

Therefore, you need to understand exactly how you want to look when traveling:

  • sports style - we take only trousers, skirts and shorts that match sports shoes, you can stock up on T-shirts and T-shirts, baseball caps;
  • romantic nature - tunics, loose capes and shirts, sundresses, open sandals would be an excellent choice;
  • business style - yes, some even on vacation want to be an eternally busy and business person, so light but strict dresses with a closed neckline, capri pants with blouses, trousers and blouses will suit them.

When choosing a wardrobe for summer travel, you need to consider what your vacation plans are - enjoying the sun on the beach or sightseeing and excursions in the mountains. Additionally, it is worth learning about the peculiarities of the climate (for example, the differences in day / night air temperatures) and the local mentality (in some countries, a woman in shorts can look judgmental).

Experienced travelers have highlighted several points that will clarify when packing a suitcase.

Material and color

Summer is hot, so you should give preference to light and white shades of clothing. Yes, it gets dirty quickly, but it can be washed and dried at any time in a few minutes. If you choose clothes made of white natural material with a slight addition of synthetic fibers, then there will be no problems. But:

  • heat will be easier to tolerate;
  • you can often change your image;
  • the combination of tanned skin and white clothing is amazing.

For hot countries, it is completely normal to change clothes several times a day, so there may be several light and white tunics, sundresses, T-shirts.

Do you need warm clothes

You don't need to think that our grandmothers and mothers, who take a sweater on any trip, simply do not understand anything. In fact, they are wise, because the difference between night and day air temperatures can be large. For example, in Thailand late at night without a jacket it is better not to go out - to freeze from the fresh wind and even get sick easily and easily.

From warm clothes, you need to take a thin, but voluminous jacket or cardigan - this will be enough. And it is better to give preference to a product made of natural wool - it will not allow overheating in the heat, and it will warm you in the cold. Even the densest cotton, linen material will not have the same effect.

Do not reject the umbrella either. Even the most accurate weather forecasts tend to not come true, it will be a shame to be on vacation in a desperate situation (in the literal sense), because even a light rain can disrupt all plans.

Shoes

Any heels, tight / dress shoes should stay at home. Rest should be comfortable, practical for the soul and the whole body, so you need to take with you on your trip:

  • sneakers;
  • sandals;
  • light moccasins;
  • ballet shoes.

They should be lightweight, sleek and flat. It is advisable to purchase inexpensive models - at any time you can discover the loss of your shoes, so it's better to play it safe. By the way, in many countries you will need to take off your shoes before entering churches. Naturally, there are a lot of remaining shoes on the doorstep and it is not surprising that most of the models simply disappear in an unknown direction. A tip from seasoned tourists is to always take duplicate pairs with you.

Headdress

A must have in a tourist's wardrobe! Wide-brimmed hats, caps, kerchiefs will protect your head from the scorching sun and will not lead to fading of hair color. You can use a thin scarf - it is wrapped like a turban and worn with any clothing.

And the last thing to consider when preparing for a trip in the summer is the peculiarities of the national mentality of the host country.

In many Muslim countries, the open body of a woman / girl is perceived very badly, this annoys local residents and makes their attitude towards guests of the country not too positive.

Thin long-sleeved shirts, skirts, sundresses, trousers - these models will show respect for local traditions.

An additional bonus will be salvation from the scorching sun and prevention of burns. And given that now most of the models are made from natural fabrics, there is no need to fear heatstroke.

Winter travel clothing

Vacation is provided not only in the summer, but in some countries it is better to travel in the winter - there is some charm in the northern beauties. Naturally, you need to think over your wardrobe in advance. And the first thing you need to pay attention to is outerwear. It may be a coat in the form of a sweater, but such a model is only suitable for a trip to Europe, not to Scandinavia.

The best option would be a down jacket - lightweight, does not hinder movement, looks great with both dresses and trousers. Now on sale there are quite modern models that can be easily confused with a classic parka or tweed coat.

But what is worth taking for a winter trip from a basic wardrobe:

  • Trousers. A universal option, it will allow you not to stand out from the crowd and be like everyone else. In this case, jeans and a sports jacket will be the best choice, but boring. Tweed trousers, jockey pants with interesting / bright colors or unusual prints will help you to express yourself brightly and stylishly. Such models are combined with down jackets and coats.
  • Dresses. They can be made from fine cashmere, angora wool or tweed, but should be below the knee. It is convenient to move, sit and even run in them, they do not restrict movement and are in harmony with down jackets. If you prefer a warm dress, then you need to take with you a few pairs of warm tights - let them also be made of natural material with a small amount of viscose or other synthetic fibers.
  • Shawls, scarves and hats. Here you can give free rein to your imagination and take whatever you like with you on your winter trip. But you need to know that a knitted hat that covers your ears, a scarf with a national ornament to cover your head during city tours, and a scarf will come in handy.
  • Shoes. According to statistics, boots and high-heeled ankle boots, taken with them "just in case", remain unclaimed for the entire vacation. You can definitely do without them, but you will need comfortable, not narrow boots with a flat sole or a low platform. If the style is strictly sporty, then insulated sneakers with thick soles will come in handy.

For winter travel, you will also need a handbag - it should not be a clutch or a miniature bag for your phone / wallet / mirror, as these models look ridiculous. You need to take with you a voluminous and baggy-looking bag - stylish and practical.

Things to consider when traveling in Europe

Many of our compatriots look simply ridiculous in European countries, they can be distinguished from the local population right away - it is enough to inspect their clothes. In order not to get into a mess, not to cause bewilderment and a smile on the part of local residents of European countries, it is worth remembering the following:

  • Lurex, rhinestones, flounces and ruffles, open shoulders and neckline in the past - only modest and almost faceless outfits will look natural in Europe. It is better to leave the attributes of "luxury" at home or go outside in them at night. You can play with the textures of fabrics, for example, try to combine a thin cashmere coat and a silk skirt. But without experience, it is unlikely that you will be able to look elegant in such an outfit, so it is better not to risk it.
  • Jeans are a must - they are always appropriate, go well with various sweaters and T-shirts, you can wear them to a museum, to a cafe, or to travel on a river boat. Only jeans should be modest - without a scattering of rhinestones, lace inserts and "holes" (yes, torn models are also in the past).
  • Warm sweaters and sweaters. Even if, according to the forecast, there will be sun and heat, this still does not mean anything - the forecasters do not have a direct connection with the "heavenly office", and all other data are conditional. Let the suitcase contain a pair of jackets or sweaters, different in thickness.
  • T-shirts. They are universal - in the event of a sudden cold snap, they can be put under a sweater and insulated, in the heat they will become a real salvation. Large inscriptions, rhinestones, sequins and embroidery should be avoided - everything is neutral or with a minimum of decoration.

When it comes to footwear, sneakers will do. True, if there are shoes with round toes and minimal heels, then this will be the best option - you can go to the museum, go on an excursion, or go to a restaurant. Just don't buy such a model just before the vacation! There is always a chance that the shoes will squeeze and chafe - what a pleasure from the trip, continuous pain and disappointment.

Travel fees by train, bus, car

If everything becomes clear with a suitcase for rest, then what to wear directly on the road remains a mystery. It would seem that timeless jeans and a T-shirt or sweater, coupled with sneakers, should solve the problem, no matter what kind of transport you are going to take. It's actually not that simple.

A train

Its purity can be doubted endlessly, therefore it is necessary to prevent the contact of body parts with the seats in the carriages. On the train, you can lie down, sit down and even walk around the carriage. This mode of transport involves stops during which people go out into the fresh air and stretch their muscles. Comparing everything, you can take with you:

  • tight leggings for a woman or sweatpants for a man - allow you to sit and lie safely in comfortable positions, you can sleep in them, because they do not wrinkle, do not curl, do not expose the body;
  • a classic-cut T-shirt and a thin synthetic sweater - no open neckline, short tops, T-shirts, everything is decent, comfortable, practical and it is not a shame to go to the platform during a stop;
  • light slippers or moccasins - you will definitely need socks as well: hygiene, decency will be fully observed.

The material of clothing should be as natural as possible - sometimes the temperature on trains is so high, even in winter, that it will be uncomfortable in synthetics, sweating will increase, and heatstroke is possible.

Bus

Extreme travel - no normal sleeping place, no frequent stops, and abrupt braking of the bus often leads to food stains on clothes. Therefore, on the road, you need not only to put on loose clothing - a T-shirt, leggings / sweatpants / shorts, but also take spare sets with you. Shoes are lightweight and without heels, all materials are natural, but with the addition of a small amount of synthetics, the clothes will not wrinkle.

Even on a summer trip by bus, you should take a thin woolen jacket with you - the nights can be cold, and the air conditioner can be turned on at the request of other passengers.

Car

Ideal because it gives you freedom of choice. You can even go in an evening dress and louboutins, but the usual wardrobe of the traveler will be much more practical. Trousers / shorts and T-shirt / sweater are classic tourist, in which comfortable and free... It is imperative to take a spare set of "outfit" so that it can be changed at any time - drinking and eating "on the go" is extremely inconvenient and often ends in stains on clothes.

Traveling is a fun process. It can be made more comfortable and practical with the right wardrobe. The recommendations of experienced tourists will definitely come in handy, the main thing is to perceive them correctly and adopt them.

Travel is becoming more accessible, distances between cities are being covered faster and faster. A rare modern girl has not wondered how to dress for a trip: ladies go on vacation and on business trips, improve their cultural level and improve their health.

The purpose of the trip, the duration of the journey, and, of course, the chosen mode of transport, will determine the choice of a fashionable image on the road. Let's figure out in this article how to take into account all the nuances of road life in your outfit without changing the style.

Basic rules of clothing for travel

Regardless of how much distance you are going to cover and on what, initially there are a few important tips to follow. This will filter out unsuitable wardrobe items.

  • Preference for plant materials

Cotton, linen, viscose, lyocell - these natural fabrics and their analogues will help you maintain optimal air exchange and temperature conditions. This is an important factor to consider when going on a tourist trip.

Even if such clothes wrinkle more, it will still be stuffy and uncomfortable in a polyester dress or trousers on the road. In some cases, even skin irritation is possible.


If it is critical for you that the clothes do not wrinkle too much, the content of synthetic threads: nylon or elastane is acceptable. Read the label carefully, the amount of synthetics should not exceed the three percent threshold.

  • Low-heeled shoes

It is easy to choose the right low shoes for any set: all kinds of moccasins, loafers, sandals, ballet flats, espadrilles, sneakers are at your disposal.


It is better to exclude sneakers from the list because of the laces. Shoes should be such that it does not take much time and effort to take off and put them on. Probably, on the way to a busy excursion trip, you will repeatedly want to quickly take off your shoes from your tired feet, and put them on again as soon as necessary.

  • A backpack instead of a handbag

As a maximum, a shoulder bag. Hands-free travel is required.

It is not necessary to choose a voluminous travel backpack if you do not plan to fit all your luggage in it. Manufacturers provide fashionistas with a wide selection of compact and feminine urban backpacks.

To travel by rail

If you have to get to your destination by train , Wear lightweight khaki knee-length cotton shorts. Combine with a bright, opaque shirt.

A convenient option would be a shirt, the sleeves of which can be opened to their full length, and if necessary, shortened using a special fastener.

By air

If you plan to travel by plane, do not wear warm and tight clothes. Getting undressed and dressed in the confined space of the cabin is problematic. It is better to wear a light dress or a sundress that does not drag anywhere and without decorative elements. Even if you get a little cold during the flight, the stewardess will gladly offer you a blanket.


Intercity buses

If you are planning a long bus ride, opt for a maxi skirt made of cotton or linen. You will not be able to change clothes on the way, and if it is cool from the air conditioner in the cabin, the skirt will cover your legs and warm you. If it's stuffy, linen and cotton will provide air exchange. In addition, the skirt can always be lifted, gently exposing the knees.

You can complement the skirt with a top with straps. Be sure to take a thin cardigan with you.

On a journey to holy places

If you are planning to go on a pilgrimage trip, give preference to dull clothing that covers the body. Please note that, as in church, no trousers, much less shorts, are worn to holy places.


Opt for a slim, long-sleeved, knee-length dress. Don't use makeup.

During the cold season

The above tips are perfect when choosing how to dress for summer travel. The winter months require special solutions.


Woolen items are the best to keep you warm. But it can be stuffy indoors in wool clothes. You can take off your woolen sweater and put it next to it, but you get a voluminous extra baggage.

Our advice is to use high-tech fabrics. Wear special thermal underwear under your main clothing. If necessary, you can undress in transport and stay only in it: modern thermal underwear is made in beautiful colors and interesting cut.

They have to look as if at any moment the paparazzi with a camera will pop out of nowhere, well, and do not forget about comfort. YAB bought represents 10 tips how to dress comfortably and stylishly for the trip.
  • Say no to clothes that are too short and revealing, it looks vulgar and tasteless.
  • The most popular set is jeans, a T-shirt, a light jacket, or a sweater. Remember: jeans should not be too tight and tight, restricting movement.
  • Leggings are one of the most convenient travel options, but only if they are not a household item that has lost its appearance.
  • Shoes must be at low speed. Any heel will put a strain on the vessels and veins. But judging by the celebrities, not all of them adhere to this version.
  • Clothes must be clean! It is better not to use the statement “wash it anyway”. What if a flight delay or some other situation? You can stay fresh longer with clean clothes.
