    Default Choice of Travel clothing

    Choice of Travel clothing

    Successful one-bag travel means traveling with minimal weight and bulk; it also means traveling comfortably and well. The light traveler cannot take eight pairs of pants, eight shirts, eight pairs of underclothing, four pieces of outerwear, and three pairs of shoes for an eight-day excursion. To take make do with less clothing requires that we take a few pieces of the right clothing and that we wash it as we go.



    Travel clothing should be versatile, comfortable, and fast-drying. Versatility means adaptable to a reasonably wide range of temperatures and conditions. Well-ventilated clothing that also provides protection from sun and wind, as well as from sudden drops in temperature is a must. Versatility also extends to appearance. Good travel clothing looks appropriate and smart in a variety of settings.

    Travel clothing must also be comfortable or our whole travel experience will suffer. Focusing fully on the work or play at hand is impossible when wearing clothing that hinders and irritates. Synthetic fabrics, so often used for travel clothing, can be more curse than blessing if poorly made or thoughtlessly constructed. Natural-fiber clothing may not adapt well to fast-paced modern travel. Personal research and testing is the only way to ensure the perfect travel wardrobe.


    The only way to take less is to wash more. The fast-moving light traveler cannot count on laundry facilities and equipment. Washing in the hotel room, hostel lavatory, or nearest stream may be the only option at the end of a long day followed by an early morning departure. Clothes that can be hand-washed and hang-dried in a matter of hours are essential. More often than not that means synthetic-fiber clothing.

    Travel clothing should be comfortable, practical and good looking. It is great to look stylish and attractive as you stroll around a strange new place, but you don't want your appearance to make you stand out as a tourist. Travel clothing must also be easy to clean, stain resistant and hard to wrinkle. If you spill something all over your travel outfit, you don't have the ability to just run home and change.

    It is not a good idea to wear skin tight clothes while traveling.

    Travel clothing should be made from easy-care fabrics that are hand-washable, dry quickly and don't wrinkle.

    Don't wear T-shirts with vulgar or offensive images or words. Bright colors and exotic patterns might be fashionable at home, but in another culture they could advertise you as a tourist.

    Unless your goal is to attract attention to yourself, avoid travel clothing that make you look out of place.

    When choosing clothing to take with you on a trip, consider your needs. If it is a business trip you may need to take suits with you.
