How to Travel in Style!

Rihanna, Rachel Bilson, Nicole Richie, Charlize Theron.

I read a post from The Fashion Spot today on how to emulate celeb style when travelling. I thought there were some great tips on how to prep your wardrobe so I'm sharing them with you.

::LAYERS::
Layers are always a great idea if your bod gets easily overheated or chilled like mine. It also adds a lot of interest to your look when you have different lengths peeking out. Travel-wise, layer up because there will be changes in temperatures whether it's on the plane or the car, or between Destinations A and B.

::PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SEAT::
If you're like me, you already do this going to public places, sitting on the bus, doctor's waiting rooms, etc. But cover up for sanitary reasons to reduce "skin-to-seat contact". Those seats have been sat on by god knows how many zillions of grody passengers.

::OVERSIZED BAG::
A cute but large bag (could be an over-the-shoulder messenger bag) for snacks, books, cozy slippers while you're on the plane, and minimal touch-up makeup.

::COMFY WRINKLE-RESISTANT FABRICS::
If you don't like to wear constricting jeans or dress pants on a long trip, I don't blame you. Try leggings (expandable elastic waistband!) and layers on top. Just be sure that what you're wearing is comfortable and won't wrinkle. Avoid jogging pants - too sloppy, and never wear linen - it will wrinkle.

::DARK COLOURS::
There are several reasons for wearing a darker palette - it's slimming and looks chic, you can easily take your travel wear into street style territory with a funky scarf, accessories, and cute boots/shoes, and above all, if you or your seat-neighbour have any kind of accident en route (especially food-related), the stains or fallout won't show up as readily.
