TRAVEL TIPS
Summer holidays are the perfect excuse for dressing casually. Whatever the occasion, from family get-togethers to escaping to an exotic island, it’s all about mix ‘n matching the right pieces that are light, easy to pack and even easier to wear. On-the-go dressing means being prepared for any occasion yet still looking effortless and chic. Here are the essentials you should take along with you from clothes, shoes and accessories to skincare products and gadgets.
Packing 101
- Layer tissue paper in between garments to keep them wrinkle-free.
- A set of pillowcases bring that comforting touch of home with you.
- Ziploc bags are great for keeping dirty or damp clothes separate from your clean ones.
- Opt for travel luggage with multiple compartments for easy and efficient packing.
- Don’t forget to bring your camera!
Plane Perfect
- If your travel time cuts across time zones, choose for a daytime arrival at your destination so you can still feel and look fresh.
- Always include an extra set of underwear and a one-piece dress in your carry-on luggage in case your check-in baggage gets delayed or lost (let’s hope that NEVER happens!).
- Equip yourself with a fully charged mp3 and a favourite book or magazine to keep you company on your journey.
- Cabin temperatures can get cold on long flights so bring along a comfortable hoodie.
- Whether you’re up in the air or on land, make sure your skin is well moisturized.
Unlimited Style on a Limited Wardrobe
- Always pack destination-appropriate clothing and bring extras for impromptu events like dinner invitations or even weddings (There’s nothing like a body-hugging dress to make you look polished yet sexy).
- No matter how limited your luggage space, make room for comfortable flats, beach sandals and stylish evening shoes (Comfortable flats are a must if you’re doing a lot of walking and sightseeing)
- Fill your suitcase with wrinkle-free material and knits, which are best for travelling.
- Simple accessories and easy-to-wear outfits make dressing up and preparation a breeze.
- Don’t forget your sunglasses and hat to make sure you’re well covered from the sun.
Beauty Basics
- Exfoliate your body before going under the sun for an even tan.
- Sunscreen will be your best friend. Slather it on!
- The salty ocean water and chlorine in swimming pools can damage your hair. Make sure to shampoo and condition your locks to keep it healthy.
- Nail polish in natural or skin-tone shades go well with any coloured sandal.
- Try wearing your hair in a simple up-do with a dazzling hairpiece.
