This should be the suitcase for your vacations
Are you traveling without checking in? We turn to a stylist to tell us the best tricks to wear only what is fair and necessary
Traveling is not what it used to be. Above all, by
plane. Before, years ago, carrying a suitcase and checking it in was
something logical and unquestionable but now the different policies of the
airlines have made the cabin suitcase a priority, which is cheaper, yes, but
also smaller. The brief dimensions of cabin suitcases bring with them an
added complication: what to put in them so as not to miss a single item on
vacation.
To clarify how a smart suitcase is assembled - that is,
one that carries just enough and is necessary to dress well every day - we
turned to the stylist and image consultant for TV, companies and
individuals, Elena
Regadera. She, an expert in the field, gives us a few
tips to avoid failure.
Step one: plan
We must ask ourselves the following questions: where am I
going? For how many days?
Research your destination, especially what concerns the
weather, to be clear if we include summer, spring or winter clothing.
Ask ourselves what type of trip we are about to do: if we
go to a resort, a cruise, to the mountains, to the city ...
Organize the garments according to the activities that we
are going to develop in the destination.
Take a pen and paper and make a list of the essentials
for that suitcase based on the previous answers.
Second step: select
Put all the clothes and accessories on the bed and make
different piles by categories (upperparts, lower parts, accessories, toilet
...) This way we will visualize everything we must carry.
Forget all the "just in case", in the end, they
are not used.
Forget ironing clothes as well.
Prioritize basic garments, they are always a good option.
Try to contribute to garments that allow us to make
various looks.
Third step: optimize the
space of the suitcase
Fold the clothes and organize the suitcase well.
Separate the shoes in pairs and in individual bags to be
able to fit them better.
Wear the footwear that occupies the most on the outward
journey.
What to put in the
suitcase? The essentials of a stylist
According to Elena Regadera, the essentials of a trip
should be the following. Wear jeans and denim shorts, such as those from
the Polo Club firm,
which can be repeated with several t-shirts. If we go to the beach, swimsuits,
a cap and sunglasses are essential.
If traveling in winter, the stylist recommends wearing the
most voluminous garment on the plane, choosing between a denim jacket or a
neutral-colored coat or raincoat. He also advises taking a comfortable
sweatshirt - at Polo Club they have basic but beautiful models - in case the
weather is not expected.
Regarding footwear, Regadera proposes shoes in a basic color
and, of course, sports shoes. With these tips it will be super easy to
dress well every day of vacation without having to check-in or carry your
wardrobe on your back.
