Choosing Your Vacation Wardrobe: Tips from a Stylist

A capsule closet is a carefully selected limited number of well-matched pieces that can be used to create a wide variety of looks.

The main benefits of a capsule closet:

• A small number of items will not create overweight luggage. A capsule closet will even fit in your carry-on luggage.
• The new look will allow you to appear diverse on a daily basis.
• You will have clothes for all occasions: whether it is a walk around the city, going to the beach, to a cafe, restaurant, or even to a disco.
• All things are successfully combined with each other, which means that they will not go unnoticed and will be used.

Sounds great, but where do you start? I'll use an example to show you how to tackle the task of putting a capsule together for a trip.

Before you start putting together a capsule vacation closet, you need to answer two questions for yourself:

• What's the climate like in the country you're traveling to?
• How do you plan to spend your vacation: lying on the beach, going on excursions, doing sports, going to discos, etc.?

The more detailed your answer to the second question, the easier it will be to put your suitcase together without packing too much and leaving the necessary things behind.

Let's take a look at assembling a capsule closet using a vacation to a European resort as an example.

The peculiarity of such a vacation is that you are in a resort, but still in the city, so it is better to choose urban models.

You're likely to spend a lot of time walking around the city, so it's better to opt for convenience. But don't forget about the beach and the evening program.

It is better to choose clothes so that they can be easily transformed from daytime to evening, and vice versa.

It's also important to remember that the more diverse the clothes in length, texture, colors, and silhouettes, the more interesting images you will be able to combine.

Don't forget about accessories; they will perfectly complement any outfit, especially if you prefer neutral colors. For the day, you can take jewelry made of beads or shells - they are very relevant this season.

What to wear to the airport

To save space in your suitcase, you can wear something from your capsule to the airport. Tip - choose the bulkiest items.

Also, if you want to bring sneakers or sneakers, a good way to avoid overloading your suitcase is to wear them on the road.

Although it's the height of the season, a cardigan or jacket may be necessary on vacation in case of chilly evenings or to stay warm on the plane.

If you are taking an oversized hat with you, it is also wise to wear it to the airport or buy it on the spot. Such an item is usually inexpensive, but it will avoid problems with transportation.

Which clothes are better to prefer for going to the beach?

If your skin isn't too fond of sun-kissed skin and you often get hot, a shirt over a swimsuit or sundress is the way to go. Choose natural, lightweight fabrics (like linen), and you won't get hot in them.

What about dressing for every day?

The pictures show a few options that will keep you from breaking your head over your daily looks.

You can replace shorts or pants with a skirt and get about 10 different looks.

What looks can you put together for an evening program?

For evening looks, be sure to add sparkling jewelry, a clutch bag (where you can put your phone and wallet), and heeled shoes. This will make your outfit more dressy.

In this capsule, the outfits have a blend of casual, diverse, and elegant styles. I opted for mostly neutral colors, but you can easily incorporate colorful or printed accents.

This wardrobe is ideal for those who wish to maintain a stylish appearance without lugging around an overstuffed suitcase filled with often unnecessary items.
