As a frequent traveler, you may have developed the terrible habit of over-packing. You might be used to holding your breath at the luggage scale, struggling with heavy bags, or sitting on your suitcase to get it closed.  While tools and tricks like vacuum bags, rolling your clothes, and packing cubes are great, the best way to avoid the over-packing stress is to create a classic minimalist travel wardrobe.   

The Capsule: 

A capsule wardrobe is a small and clutter-free wardrobe. It’s simply that reliable collection of clothes you just love.  These clothes make you look and feel confident, and you can mix and match them to make many outfit combinations. Take a second a checkout Pinterest. You’ll get all the inspiration you need.  While most capsule wardrobes are typically made up of neutral colors so that you can easily mix and match the pieces, you can create yours to incorporate bold colors, graphics, and patterns that still pair well together.   

Plan your outfits with your destination in mind  

Start by planning out your trip. Look into the weather forecast.  What activities do you have planned? Will you be walking around a lot? Are you lounging, or do you have activities planned? Answering these questions will help you figure out your footwear, what you’ll want to wear, and the type of fabric and materials you should prioritize.

Focus on the Essentials  

Focus on building your core essentials. These items are oldies but goodies in terms of style: Blue jeans, white t-shirts, black dresses, and jean jackets. They always look good and pair well with other more expressive items like a statement jacket or colorful blouse. Instead of creating individual outfits, consider how many combinations you can make with all the things in your essentials category.  

Choose Complementary Colors. 

These are hues that sit opposite one another on the color wheel, like blue and orange. And when you pair them together, they create outfits with impact. You can still mix some neutrals into your minimalist travel wardrobe. But focusing on complementary colors means you can experiment with colors without fear of clashing.

Think ahead and create a capsule wardrobe that’s built to travel. The process of curating your closet, selecting quality pieces that help refine your individual style, and focusing on the essentials will save you from the major headache of figuring out what to wear during your trips and packing way too much. 

 And don’t forget…
