Travel light: 10 clothing basics for endless outfits

We’ve all been there. You go on a trip and 2 days in you have NOTHING to wear, even though your suitcase is overflowing with items. Well, no more! Check out our list of the 10 items that will change how you pack for your vacations and help you create endless cute outfits for every situation.

White Sneakers

You always need your trusty pair of white sneakers. Whether you’re travelling somewhere hot or cold there’s always an occasion for them. Perfect for casual looks, will be your casual-attire best friend, and can even dress down formal outfits.

Black/Printed Flowy Pants

When you’re on holiday you might not always want to wear a pair of constricting jeans, here enter the flowy pants. You can wear them with a cute top and heels –  BAM night time outfit, wear them with sandals, your bikini top and some sunglasses – BAM beach-ready, slap on a casual tee, a bold pair of earing and your white sneaker –  BAM cute outfit for strolling around town. Endless possibilities we tell you, ENDLESS.

That ONE Denim Jacket

I know what you’re thinking, “I’m travelling to a hot country, why would I need a jacket?” and let me tell you, you just do. Not even for practical reasons like it might get cold or rain or whatever, this is about style, okay. Denim jackets provide you with outfit styling options, and if you have one that fits you nicely – well you’re invincible.

A Tote Bag

Most of the time a bag on holiday means you’re going to the beach or hitting up the town. You don’t want to take anything too fancy that might get ruined by sand or look out of place at the beach. And if you’re going out a night let’s be honest, you won’t need anything more than your phone for pictures, the card to your hotel room and some cash – nothing a clutch can’t solve!

Sunglasses

This one’s a no-brainer for holidays but a good pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes, but they can also MAKE an outfit where there wasn’t one before. Pick whichever style suits you best and don’t be afraid of a little pizzazz!

A Dress / Jumpsuit

Whether you’re a dress or a jumpsuit kind of girl, taking at least one of them with you is a decision you won’t regret. The gloried of an LBD have been sung many times before so we’ll spare you, just keep in mind that a dress or jumpsuit can be either a day or night item depending on how you accessorize!

The Right Accessories

What’s the difference between a boring outfit and a showstopper you ask? THE ACCESSORIES. Trust us, a bold pair of earrings, a choker, that statement ring, a belt, or even a centrepiece necklace will tie your outfits together with minimal effort.

A T-Shirt Dress

Listen, if there’s one item of clothing you can wear every single day of your holiday, it’s a t-shirt dress. So simple, yet so indispensable – it can be the most casual thing you ever wear just as it can be a part of an intricately-planned outfit. Pro tip, go for a lighter colour like a beige or white so the accessories really stand out.

Your Favorite Jeans

I mean…think about how many outfits you create with these jeans at home!

If it’s too hot where you’re going for jeans, do take at least a pair of denim shorts with you – the style choice is completely up to you, they can be high-waisted, low-waisted, dark or light wash, long or short, just pack them.

Heels

Wedges, platforms, sandals – you name it! Whichever pair your heart desires will do just fine. If you’re not a heels girl, take a pair of flat sandals or cute slip-on instead. On holiday anything goes, you might not necessarily NEED heels, but they always add that extra wow factor 😉 So wear what you want and don’t let anyone tell you what to do!
