Traveling for the Holidays
‘Tis the season for travel, and if you’re planning on bringing some of these outfits with you this holiday season while traveling I’ve put together some of my favorite packing tips for traveling during the holiday season.
Also, if you’ll need to steam out your dresses when you arrive, I highly recommend getting a travel steamer to bring with you! I use this small handheld steamer during my travels and it works perfectly to get everything in place my destination.
Here are some packing tips to make your holiday travel a breeze:
- Make a packing list: Start by creating a comprehensive packing list that includes all the essential items you’ll need for your trip. This will help you stay organized and avoid forgetting important items.
- Pack versatile clothing: Select clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. This will help you pack light while still having plenty of options to wear during your holiday.
- Roll your clothes: Rolling your clothes instead of folding them can help save space in your suitcase and minimize wrinkles.
- Pack travel-sized toiletries: To save space and comply with travel regulations, opt for travel-sized toiletries or consider purchasing toiletries at your destination.
- Use packing cubes: Packing cubes can help keep your belongings organized and make it easier to find items in your suitcase.
- Pack layers: Depending on your destination, packing layers can help you stay prepared for varying weather conditions.
- Leave room for souvenirs: If you anticipate bringing back souvenirs or gifts, consider leaving some extra space in your luggage to accommodate them on your return trip.
When you can streamline your holiday travel preparations and ensure that you have everything you need for a memorable and stress-free trip. Plan to bring wardrobe items that can get used in layers or in multiple outfits to minimize the number of outfits pieces you need to bring. Mix together glam accessories with more casual pieces to elevate them into dressy casual outfits.
