So, you’re off to exotic shores for a glorious vacation in the surf and sun. The region is known to have thunderstorms in the summer, even though the forecast says it will be hot and sunny. Do you pack something warm for every day just in case and end up over your weight allowance at the airport, or wing it and hope it doesn’t turn cold?
Packing your attire can be difficult when trying to go to a new place. You don’t want to be caught unawares, but you don’t want to over pack, particularly if you’re headed to a good shopping spot too. All it takes is a little planning, and some clever use of the clothing you have packed.
You are probably planning on spending a fair amount of time on the beach if your hotel is seaside. Beach attire, such as sandals, shorts and swimsuits should account for most of the clothes you will be wearing during the day. Seaside resorts tend to be a lot more casual than inland areas, and if it is a popular holiday destination, they will be quite used to tourists wandering around in swimwear for most of the day.
You can probably pull of a tank top and skirt, or wrap, if it is warmer in the evenings. Take the wrap to throw over your shoulders if it does get chilly. A thin shawl can’t double as a swimsuit cover, but can work for evening wear. Adding nice sandals, and a belt can transform shorts from a daytime look to an evening look.
Make sure to be prepared if it gets cooler by packing one or two warmer jackets, preferably water resistant. You should also bring some trousers, which will help if it cools down a little, and some pantyhose that will help even more if it gets cold. Jeans are always a good call and they are easy to dress up with a cute belt or sarong around your hips.
Swimsuits and sarongs can be used as day and evening wear, and are easy to pack and wash and dry overnight if needed. Utilizing accessories and picking pieces that can be mixed and matched is a good way to not over pack your suit case.
With the extensive weather reports found online nowadays, you should be able to see what the weather is likely to be for at least the forthcoming week. Of course weather reports can be wrong, so make sure you are prepared for any weather. If all else fails, you have a wonderful excuse to buy some of the local fashion!
