Whenever we go out of the country, I do my best to travel in style and comfort. I wish to travel in style simply because I want to look good and feel good about myself. I wish to travel in comfort because I have kids to look after.
Let me share with you 5 tips on how to travel in style and comfort:
1. Wear a scarf
A fashionable scarf doesn't just make you look good and stylish. It also doubles as an instant blanket when the kids start to feel cold inside the car, bus, ferry or airplane. Choose a scarf that will make you stand out in a crowd.
2. Wear comfortable clothes and footwear
When travelling, I always wear comfortable clothes and footwear. My top choices for footwear are ballet flats, sneakers (rubber shoes) sandals and sometimes, flip flops. I never had a problem chasing my toddler when I have a comfy shoes on. It also prevents me from having battered and achy feet from walking around. As for clothes, I always go for long pants and comfortable tops. In anticipation of the strong blast of air con in the bus or airplane, I avoid wearing sleeveless tops and shorts.
3. Choose a roomy tote bag
Forget about bringing a fancy purse that can only fit your phone and wallet. Choose a tote bag with ample space for your other travel essentials like iPad, wet wipes, sunnies, water bottle, extra clothes (in case of emergency), diaper, finger foods for your little one and whatever floats your boat. A waterproof bag would be a great choice if you have kids as they are prone to spilling milk, juice, and water.
4. Wear accessories
If you wish to travel in style, bling it on baby! Accessories like a bangle, a statement necklace and fancy earrings can make you look very fashionable and stylish. They don't necessarily need to be branded and expensive. There are many cheap accessories available almost everywhere nowadays. You only need to have an eye for a good one, if you know what I mean.
5. Wear invisible make-up
Have you ever heard someone say, "please put make-up on me that will look like I have no make-up at all"? That's what I am referring to as invisible make-up. A lipstick, mascara, light foundation, light blush on and light eye shadows will never fail to do the trick. Putting a heavy make-up when you travel is a big no-no.
On top of everything, do not forget to wear a beautiful smile. Happy travelling in style and comfort! :)

ReplyDeleteBack here from FBF Che, red looks hot on you, these are very practical tips to travel in style and comfort
ReplyDeleteYou said it well, comfort is so important to me especially I have a little one to taking care.
ReplyDeleteme too I love traveling with style and comfort. But, lately since i have my toddler i get slow in traveling because it's too uncomfy to travel with baby and with all the baby stuff that you have to take along with you. But I'll resume traveling again once the toddler become capable of taking care of himself so it would be a lot comfy to all of us to travel. :)
ReplyDeleteComfort really plays the big role when we travel. I usually wear a tank underneath my long sleeve and also a jacket. Travelling 24 hours is really long and cabin temperature drops automatically. When I arrive in Manila, I just wear my tank :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've got valuable tips to look fab while traveling :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're one fab,cool chic traveler, Dokie! I love your tips especially on the shoes! I did a blunder when I brought with me tons of shoes (10 pairs of them) going to Malaysia and I had to pay excess baggage on my way back home to the tune of 8k pesos! That was a hard lesson learned!
ReplyDeleteThat no- make up look makes the trip perfect especially that what's left of the trip are the photographs to remember you by :-)
Travel in style and comfort-- sounds like the very purpose and objective of myself. I am not sure though if I live up to such objective because ever since I became a mom, the stylishness has somehow became vague. Haha! I see why the "scarf" part in your post is to be stayed tune in. Yep, you're right. IT is not only for fashion and trendy looks but also for comfort when a certain moment demands some warm something to cover the skin. :)
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I can wear ballet like shoes, but I am so petite, you are lucky to wear anything you like.
