If you\u2019re planning on jet-setting off on honeymoon, to a destination wedding<\/a>, or even just for an exotic getaway, you need a travel capsule wardrobe. These travel-specific suitcase ensembles are created specifically for different weather patterns, events, and environments so that you\u2019re prepared for anything\u2014and look good at the same time!<\/p>\n<\/div> Travel capsule wardrobes enable you to focus on bringing only the best, most multi-purpose items so that you can save on space and time when getting dressed over the course of your trip. Narrowing down your wardrobe isn\u2019t always easy, but with these tips, it can be.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Before we dive into some tips for creating the perfect travel capsule wardrobe, let\u2019s first understand exactly what it is. A travel capsule wardrobe is a carefully considered a small collection of garments packed for an away-from-home trip that is characterized by versatility and flexibility.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re on the move, you don\u2019t usually have the space to pack your entire wardrobe, so you need to reduce it to a select combination of key items.<\/p>\n With a travel capsule wardrobe, you can still enjoy a wide variety of different outfit combinations without taking along several suitcases<\/a>. This wardrobe guide helps you be more intentional about the items you pick so that only the most important, quality garments remain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Your travel wardrobe should include enough clothing to dress you comfortably each day of the week. That way, you will never run out of clean clothes and will always have a few different outfit options for every day.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re packing a formal dress<\/a> or outfit, don\u2019t count this as one of your seven days, as you\u2019ll only be wearing it for an event. You\u2019ll still want clothing to wear before and afterwards.<\/p>\n<\/div> Some fabrics just don\u2019t want to be squashed into a bag. And if you pack them in your suitcase, you may have to deal with badly creased clothing that doesn\u2019t un-wrinkle, no matter how much you try to straighten them out. Some of the most wrinkle-resistant fabrics<\/a> include:<\/p>\n The fabrics you want to avoid are cotton and silk, which both crease very easily and are extremely difficult to iron, even with the proper tools. Packing anti-wrinkle fabric is the easiest way for you to keep a fresh bag of soft, smooth clothing all trip long.<\/p>\n<\/div> When you have limits on how many garments you can take on a trip, you need to focus on choosing ones with the highest quality and shelf-life possible.<\/p>\n Items that are made to last will not only look better and wash easier, but you\u2019ll be able to get more wear out of them than poorly made synthetic alternatives. Investing in a select few high-quality items is something that you won\u2019t regret, whether you go on a trip or not.<\/p>\n Steer clear of items that are itchy, don\u2019t fit well, or in any way make you feel uncomfortable. You won\u2019t have many choices, so make sure the ones you take are all comfortable and designed to last.<\/p>\n<\/div> The everything goes with everything rule is simple: every item you pack needs to be at least somewhat compatible with every other item in your suitcase.<\/p>\n If you pack seven perfectly unique outfits, you only have seven options. However, if you have several different garments that you can mix and match, your capsule wardrobe grows dramatically. This gives you more freedom, especially if you’re unsure of what the weather is going to do.<\/p>\n When it comes to travel capsule wardrobes, overlap is everything!<\/p>\n<\/div> Color compatibility is very important for a good travel capsule wardrobe. If you pack clothing in a wide variety of colors and patterns, you won\u2019t be able to wear them together, leaving you with an extremely mixed bag of incompatible outfit options.<\/p>\nWhat is a travel capsule wardrobe?<\/h2><\/div>
