The Complete Guide To Traveling In Style

Complete Guide To Traveling In Style-Chispa MagazineAnyone who’s ever caught a red-eye to make an early business meeting knows it’s hard to look good after a long flight. Sadly, traveling and style don’t often go hand-in-hand and we often find ourselves opting for the more comfortable, casual look. If you’re going on vacation, you can throw on any old sweats and travel in comfort. But, if you’re on a business trip or looking to impress, you need a better alternative.

We’ve done our fair share of business travel, and we like to think we’ve got it down to an art-form. In this post, we’ll share some of the best-kept secrets with you. There is a fine line between style and comfort, but we’ll help you find it. After this, not even the overnighter will phase you. Let’s dive in.

Keep Your Makeup and Hair Simple
You’re looking for a simple, hassle-free look here. Remember, traveling is hard work. You might find yourself running to make a connection, or sitting in a stuffy waiting room for hours. Too much makeup mixed with sweat is a bad combo. Tie your hair up and keep it out of the way too. If you need to fix yourself up (or draw attention away from the bloodshot travel eyes), carry a small vanity case with you.

Invest in a Fashionable Carry-on
No one wants to be the one dragging a duffel bag or endless handbags through the airport. Invest in a luxe, stylish carry-on with wheels. The less work you have to put in, the better.There are so many great options out there, you’re spoilt for choice. From simple stylish options on a budget to the executive Louis Vuitton carry-ons, they’ve got you covered.

Mix Comfort with Style
The last thing you want to wear while traveling is a tight-fitting, form-hugging one-piece. Of course, you don’t want to dress in your sweats either (though that would be super comfy). There’s a middle-ground you need to find. Something like a maxi skirt will give you style and comfort on the plane. Perhaps a well-fitted pair of jeans or sensible trousers. Get creative with your wardrobe.

Get Some Stylish Flats
You don’t want to find yourself running for the plane in high heels. You’ll kill your feet and let’s face it, you’ll look fairly silly. Instead, find a fashionable pair of flats that look good and feel great. Comfort matched with style.

Get Creative
When you’re travelling, you’ve only got a limited amount of space to work with. So, you’re going to have to get creative. Space saving accessories are great here. The ‘Poppet’, for example, is a cardigan that folds into a clutch. Perfect for style on the go! You could also try layering to take as many clothes with you as possible.

Simple Jewelry
Finally, try to avoid tons of jewelry. You’re just going to get caught in the metal detectors and cause a whole lot of hassle. Keep it simple and avoid loose, hanging necklaces.

Easy. Traveling in style is simple when you know how. Do you have any great travel style tips? Let us know on our social media channels.
