So, you’re off to exotic shores for a glorious vacation in the surf and sun. The region is known to have thunderstorms in the summer, even though the forecast says it will be hot and sunny. Since there is a chance of getting cold, should you pack some warm clothes, or just hope that the weather will stay warm?
Packing the right clothes for a new destination is fraught with difficulty. If you are shopping you want to make sure you have enough room in your suitcase, but you also want to be prepared for anything. Creative use of clothes and a little planning are all you should need.
If you are going to a seaside resort, chances are pretty good that you will spend a fair amount of time on the beach. During the day you will probably be wearing mostly swimsuits, sandals, shorts and wraps. Seaside resorts tend to be a lot more casual than inland areas, and if it is a popular holiday destination, they will be quite used to tourists wandering around in swimwear for most of the day.
If the evenings are warm, you can get away with a wrap and a strappy top, or a nice skirt. A wrap to throw over your shoulders is a good idea, in case it gets chilly. A thin shawl will work as well, but it doesn’t double up over the swimsuit the next day. You can easily take shorts from day to evening by adding nice sandals and a belt.
You should make sure to pack at least one water resistant coat that is warm, in case it gets cool or rains. Trousers are a good call in case it doesn’t stay warm, you can also use pantyhose to make them feel warmer if necessary. A pair of jeans works well, and can be jazzed up with a pretty sarong used as a belt or tied at the hip.
You can wear sarongs and bathing suits for both day and night and easily pack and wash and dry them. Utilizing accessories and picking pieces that can be mixed and matched is a good way to not over pack your suit case.
With the extensive weather reports found online nowadays, you should be able to see what the weather is likely to be for at least the forthcoming week. Prepare for all weather, since the weather reports can be wrong. If you don’t come prepared, you can always shop for some local clothes!
