Travel Fashion: Our Essential Advice
Trends come and go, weather shifts, and tastes change. However, some pieces are evergreen and have a place on any packing list, no matter what the itinerary is. These rules aren’t hard and fast but following our advice will help you stay comfortable during your getaway.
- Pack comfortable clothes for travel! You don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort, but you should prioritize stretchy, soft fabrics for plane or road trips. We recommend linen, cotton, jersey, or rayon.
- Always pack swimwear—you never know if you’ll have the chance to take a dip. Swimsuits fold or roll up tightly, so this won’t require much space or weight.
- Be realistic about what you can fit in your suitcase. Cramming too much in will just result in wrinkles.
- You can keep your clothes looking fresh and save space by rolling your clothes.
- If you have any extra room in your bags, throw a few extra accessories in. This will make your outfit pieces even more adaptable. You can wear the same dress or top in multiple outfits if you switch your jewelry, scarf, and shoes.
- If you’re checking a bag for a flight, pack one set of essential clothing items in your carry-on bag.
Clothes for a Weekend Away: 5 Weekend Getaway Outfits
No matter where you're taking short trip away, you want your travel outfits to be cute. We understand and recommend taking inspiration from the following outfits!
1. Pretty Protection
We know to wear sunscreen every day, even when the sky is cloudy. Shouldn’t our whole body get the same sun protection? A pretty, protective sundress and a colorful cardigan by Anthony's Resort Wear are the perfect pairing for almost any occasion. Coordinate with comfortable shoes for ultimate versatility.
This is the ideal outfit for beach walks, outdoor dining, or even a stop at the theatre. The layers mean that you’ll be comfortable in any situation, day or night. Also, the cardigan is the perfect piece for feeling cute on a plane or car ride!
2. Playful Prints
Show off your fun vacation self with a cute, sixties-inspired knit top and a pair of funky jeans. You’ll draw both looks and compliments but still be comfortable enough for any potential activities or outings in these French Dressing separates.
This look is put together without taking itself too seriously, perfect for your weekend away!
4. The Magnificent Mini
Show some skin in the most flattering way by pairing a flirty, patterned Tiana B. minidress with our favorite Spanx Power Short.
