It can be tough planning a travel wardrobe when you’re really not sure what weather to expect.
That’s the predicament I’m finding myself in, with our upcoming trip to Europe (first world problems, I know!).
The answer of course, is layers.
I’ve mentioned before that you really can’t go past black and denim bottoms (whether shorts, jeans, or leggings) when travelling. I figure that by adding a few t-shirts, a jacket and cardy, plus a scarf or two, I’ll be able to weather all weathers 😉 .
Planning a Travel Wardrobe: the Key is Layers!
A simple striped t-shirt, shorts and comfy deck shoes which I imagine will be just the thing for exploring the Greek islands …
But perhaps the sea breezes might mean I’m looking for something a little warmer when we are in say, Venice, for instance (am I making you jealous yet?!).
Can I just tell you how much I am LOVING these jeggings? They are so soft and comfortable, and fitted to show off my legs in a way that regular denim just can’t manage. They’re also very flattering on my butt (according to the hubster anyway)!
I’m fully expecting that London will be cold and grey – must say I’m actually looking forward to being able to rug up! The secret to layering (especially with a travel wardrobe) is to try to stick to mostly neutrals – black, denim, white, grey.
Khaki is almost a neutral, and I was excited to find a shade of khaki that is almost silvery, and suits my fair colouring – score! Not to mention that Khaki + Anorak = two of the major trends of Autumn/Winter 2015. This jacket is soft with a silky lining, and being uncrushable with big pockets, is perfect for travelling.
I’m mostly using reds, pinks and plums as my accent colours, and will be packing the pink scarf (pictured above) plus a couple of bright t-shirts to lift my overall look.
Have you got any other suggestions for my travel wardrobe?! Be quick – we leave on 30 April!
