Summer has just kicked in with its hot and humid weather. Planning a trip during this time can be challenging as hot destinations require more than sunscreen and a hat. If you want to look presentable and photo-ready, pack accordingly.
Dressing for head and humid places takes real effort if you want to stay comfortable throughout the day. Yes, it’s a challenge. But fear not, we have listed style and beauty tips to help you prepare for a trip in summertime. Here are some packing strategies you can follow to look cool and collected in your vacation photos.
1. Lightweight linen
Linen is gonna be your best friend during this summertime. It is an all natural fabric made of flax fibres that is spun into a yarn. Linen is more breathable than other fabrics because of its open weave.
Linen absorbs moisture but dries quickly which makes it perfect for hot weather. Your trip wardrobe should have several linen staples like button-down shirts, loose pants, or floral dresses. There’s a true saying that you can never go wrong with a basic linen set that makes you look put together at every moment. Additionally, pack light-coloured fabrics to reflect the sun.
2. Waterproof Makeup and Setting Spray
Make sure the makeup you bring to the trip is up to the task. From swimming to exploring the city in a day, your makeup must endure every aspect. For starters, water and smudge-proof mascara is a must-have to prevent running or smearing through the eyes.
Use a good-quality makeup spray to finish your look. It acts like a game-changer on summer trips, especially the travel-size packs that are easy to carry. Before heading out in the hot weather, mist the makeup setting and spray all over your face. Secure it with powder cosmetics and boom! You are ready to beat the sun!
3. White sneakers and slip-ons
Sometimes, a comfortable sandal won’t cut it and you have to wear closed-toe shoes. Sneakers can be comfortable for a hike and sightseeing places. You should pack a comfortable pair of sneakers and slip-ons for warm-weather travels
Classic white shoes are a perfect choice to reflect light and sun and go with every outfit. For a blister-free trip, check your walking footwear before the trip. Make your trip comfortable and effortless with a nice pair of slip-ons to explore the beaches. Pro tip- pack an extra pair of socks for longer trips.
4. Open-weave hats
If you’re planning a trip to the Southeastern Coastal Plain or the Gulf Coast, an open-weave hat is a must. A hot head can lead to disorientation and exhaustion. To keep it cool from the sun, a hat keeps direct rays off your head and face. Additionally, it protects your skin from sun damage and tanning.
Look for a chic open-weave hat that won’t trap heat next to your head and goes with every outfit. Crochet and woven straw hats are the most famous as their wider brim protects your shoulders from getting hot. If not this, go for a linen-cotton blend in a summery colour
5. The Evergreen Dress
Breathable dresses are the most comfortable clothing for warm weather. They allow air to flow around your legs and don’t constrain your waist. These floral dresses are very in these days and come in various comfortable fabrics. You can try silk, linen, cotton, viscose, and lycole for your spring trip this year.
These dresses feature different designs like lef slits to offer extra breathability and airflow. On top of it all, they look amazing and sometimes have pockets. Pack at least 3-4 dresses for a week trip as it’s your summer partner.
6. A Small Hand/Sling Bag
A bag as a summer essential Sounds weird but It’s not. You should pack a small sling bag to hold your essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen, lipgloss, etc. These lightweight bags don’t weigh down on shoulders. They act as cute useful accessory, especially in the daytime.
You can use a sling bag for many purposes like sightseeing, shopping, or walking through busy streets without juggling a big bag. You can carry a back that goes with every outfit and makes you look cute!
7. Personal Care Items
It’s important to stay fresh in hot and humid weather. But how? You should carry some personal essentials like mini deodorant to keep body odour at bay. You can carry some blotting paper and travel-size hand sanitiser for quick cleanliness on the go. Additionally, keep wet wipes handy for quick freshen-ups or removing dirt from your face. A small face mist can be a lifesaver to keep your face fresh and hydrating during summertime. These essentials ensure you stay comfortable, confident, and photo-ready all the way!
