The summer travel season is here, and there’s no better time to learn to travel in style. You’re probably going to have to pay some baggage fees and you may be delayed because of a sudden summer storm, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be prepared to deal with those situations in style. From simple makeup to easy-wear travel clothes that don’t look sloppy, here are a few tips on how to travel with lots of style.
Makeup – Simple is Best
Instead of using a heavy foundation, try a tinted moisturizer. The air in your plane is probably going to be very drying because it’s been recycled so many times. Using a tinted moisturizer will not only help you look great, it will also protect your delicate skin from the dry, recycled air in the plane. It’s easy to touch up and you can keep the rest of your look fresh with a little mascara, tinted lip balm and some cream blush.
Luggage – Definitely Not a Duffel Bag
Duffel bags are great for travel, as far as they go, but they can be awfully drab and dreary, and they’re certainly not a stylish travel accessory. It can be really depressing to walk through an airport and find yourself surrounded by a sea of gray, black and brown. Cute and colorful carry-on duffels can brighten your trip and these trendy bags tend to have lots of pockets secured with zippers, buttons, snaps and buckles.
Travel Clothes – Comfy, Not Sloppy
Being comfortable doesn’t have to mean that you’re wearing pajama pants, sweats or other workout-type clothing. Instead, go with a pair of well-worn jeans and a cute top for a more relaxed, but still stylish, look. If jeans aren’t your thing, try a great maxi skirt or shirt dress for outstanding comfort and style.
Footwear – Heels are Not for Traveling
Instead of wearing those really great heels that you love but make your feet feel like they’ve been through a sausage grinder; try a cute pair of comfy flats and flat sandals. Cute styles abound and adorable flats are available with prints, metallic details and unexpected materials such as tweed or velvet.
Traveling in Style
The name of the game isn’t just style, but also fun! Traveling in style doesn’t have to mean that you’re dreading every minute of your trip. By choosing comfortably cute accessories and clothes, your trip can be easy and simple.
