Capsule wardrobe for vacation – what things to take with you on your trip?
For many of us, it's a nightmare and the worst part of any trip. The thought of packing often keeps us awake at night. We wonder what we might need, what the weather might bring, what we plan to do there, and hundreds of other important things.
All of this makes packing a task that requires quite advanced logistical skills. Fortunately, a capsule wardrobe for vacation can come to the rescue. Packing with a few simple rules in mind can make this task much easier and ensure you can enjoy a successful vacation from start to finish. So what should a capsule wardrobe for travel look like? Find out in this article!
A capsule wardrobe for the holidays – what clothes should you consider when assembling it?
Have you decided to pack for your trip more thoughtfully this year? Excellent decision! The first step is always the hardest, and you've already taken it. So what should a capsule wardrobe for vacation look like? Above all, remember that the most important principle in this matter is minimalism. Although it may be hard to believe, the fewer things you pack, the easier it will be to create holiday outfits. First and foremost, before you start packing, you should check the weather forecast and consider the nature of your trip.
The contents of your suitcase will look slightly different for a vacation full of sporting activities than for one that's primarily spent on the beach, combined with evening visits to charming towns. Assuming you're looking for relaxation, you should primarily pack comfortable shorts or a skirt, along with a few tops or T-shirts. A flowing dress can also be invaluable. Whether you opt for more dresses or trousers, remember to pay attention to the materials. This is a key element to feeling comfortable every day, even during your vacation. Natural fabrics like linen or Supima cotton provide breathability, making you feel as if you're wearing nothing on hot days.
---Capsule wardrobe for travel – what not to forget to pack in your suitcase?
When it comes to the exact contents of your vacation suitcase, it's a very individual matter. Above all, you should base your outfits on the clothes you wear every day and the ones you feel most comfortable in. For a week's vacation, we suggest taking one pair of shorts, one pair of long trousers—preferably wide-leg trousers, which are the perfect base for vacation outfits—and tops or T-shirts for everyday wear. It's also worth bringing a dress or two, which you can wear for evening dinners or a stroll around town, or as a fallback in case you accidentally get one of your shirts dirty.
Also, remember to pack at least one warmer item with long sleeves, like a sweatshirt or cardigan, in case the evenings get a bit chilly. A layer may always be necessary, as air conditioning in local shops and public transport is often on full blast, making it easy to catch a cold. This way, you'll have outfits for the entire trip, taking only 10-12 items of clothing. As for footwear, it's a good idea to pack two pairs – flip-flops or sandals, and sneakers, which might come in handy if you're heading out of town.
Of course, let's not forget about headgear like a scarf or hat, and sunglasses, which will protect us on hot days. As you can see, a capsule wardrobe for travel is a perfect solution that will allow us to forget about previous packing problems, so it's definitely worth taking the time to pack your suitcase properly.
