FASHION UPDATE
Planning the perfect holiday wardrobe |
| |
Before
you even begin planning your wardrobe for a holiday, make sure you
realize that there is no such thing as the perfect capsule wardrobe.
Travelers who manage to look stylish and comfortable (exactly the
same way you desire to look) have learnt from experience - the thousands
of miles they have traveled and the hundreds of places they have visited.
If you are one of them, it should be easy. If not, then take comfort
in the fact that you will learn with time.
1. First of all, pick clothes that are appropriate for your destination
without compromising on your own personal style. It's simple if you
plan to rough it out in the northern areas of Pakistan. Your focus
will be on staying warm and dry and you will automatically reach out
for the denim and woollies. However, if you're traveling to an exotic
tropical island, you'll want an entirely different look.
2. The first rule of holiday dressing is to be yourself. When you're
away from home, feeling comfortable should be a priority. It's an
advantage if you're an adventurous dresser and can easily switch from
jeans to capris to skirts and even shorts. It will be difficult to
experiment if you can't convince yourself to step out of your well
worn shallus, but improvise instead of impersonate. Blend your style
with the place you are traveling to. A shalwar kameez can very easily
transform to a tunic with smartly tailored trousers. Don't change
drastically because trying too hard is the biggest holiday fashion
faux pas.
3. Be sure to pack at least one formal outfit as you never know who
you'll bump into or where you'll end up dining. Some restaurants have
very strict dress codes.
4. Try and pick fabrics that won't crumple away, especially if you're
going somewhere where you won't have access to electricity and an
iron.
5. If you're traveling by air, then be sure to carry a pair of socks
and a light shawl as it can get very chilly in most international
flights. Pashmina or cashmere is highly recommended because you won't
be compromising on style in them.
