I’ve been on the road a lot over the past few years, and I’ve learned a few tricks to make sure I’m always stylish even when my travel budget is tight. Here’s how I do it:
Check out what’s in season.
Check out what’s in season. If you’re lucky enough to have a choice of destinations, do a little research before making a decision. The weather at your destination and in the areas you will visit/stay is likely to be different from what it is where you live—which can have an impact on how much time and money you spend on clothing items. For example, if your trip takes place during spring break or summertime, keep in mind that most people won’t be wearing heavy jackets or coats unless they’re planning some outdoor activities (like hiking). This means that styles that incorporate warmer fabrics like denim or flannel will work best during those months than they would during winter travel when everyone needs something more substantial for warmth!
Plan a shopping budget around your destination.
When it comes to budgeting, there are a few factors that you may want to consider:
- How much are your clothing expenses going to be?
- What is the climate like in this destination?
- What activities will you be doing on a daily basis?
These three questions can help set your budget. For example, if you’re going somewhere tropical where most people dress casually and spend their days lounging by the pool, then plan for less clothing expenses than if you were going somewhere cold with lots of snow. Similarly, if everyone is getting dressed up for dinner each night and attending events throughout the day (like New Year’s Eve), plan on spending more money on clothes than if people rarely go out or prefer casual wear while they’re relaxing at home. Additionally, depending on how active or inactive your trip is going to be—for example, if it involves lots of hiking every day or sitting around reading books all day—you may need different types of clothing.
Have an outfit theme for your travels.
I’m a big fan of traveling to new places and rocking the heck out of my outfit. I tend to choose an overall theme for my trip, then try and find pieces that fit into that theme. For example, if I’m going on a beach vacation in Cancun, Mexico (which I will be doing in April), my wardrobe is going to include lots of white dresses and sandals — it’s just part of the fun!
I also like choosing one color scheme for the entire trip. This can be tricky because there are so many rules about color schemes: don’t wear more than three different colors at once! Wear one darker color with several lighter ones! Make sure all your clothes match each other! And on and on. However, if you want to follow those rules while still having fun with your clothing options (and saving money), then go right ahead!
Find out what’s offered at your hotel.
You can find out a lot about the hotel by checking out their website. You should know where you’ll be staying, how many stars it has, and what amenities are included in your stay—or if there are any extras that will cost you extra. If you’re looking for something close to the beach and still want luxury, this is where TripAdvisor comes in handy! They offer information on all kinds of hotels so that you can make an informed decision on which one is right for you.
Another great resource is asking what’s offered at your hotel once you arrive at it! If they have a gift shop or concierge service (or even better yet—a poolside bar), inquire about any deals they might have going on during your stay there before checking out their prices online first so that way when they tell us something like “we’re having our annual sale now through January,” we’ll already know because we’ve already talked about it earlier on down the road instead of wasting time trying things out ourselves first hand later down the road after spending hours researching options online first hand earlier down–oh wait nevermind sorry
Put your own twists in classic pieces.
When it comes to style, you can never go wrong with a classic piece. If you’re looking for budget-friendly fashion that’s stylish and versatile, look no further than your closet!
For example, try pairing a plain black tee with a bright colored skirt or pair of jeans. You can also wear black boots in winter or add some color by wearing red socks or tights under them.
In summertime, a white tank top paired with denim shorts is an easy way to dress up your outfit while staying cool and comfortable at the same time. Add accessories like colorful bangles or earrings to make the look more interesting while keeping it simple enough that they won’t clash with other pieces in your wardrobe—or cut down on costs by borrowing them from friends instead! By mixing and matching existing items in new ways every time you get dressed each day, we’ll have plenty more opportunities throughout our lives as well–and hopefully learn something new about ourselves along the way too! The best thing about being stylish is knowing who YOU are first; what better way than through travel?
Great traveling outfits don’t have to break the bank
Great traveling outfits are all about the accessories.
- A good hat is essential for sun protection and looking stylish.
- Shoes can make or break an outfit, especially if you’re going to be walking a lot.
- A bag that holds everything you need is also essential; it should be stylish enough to use when off the road too! It’s also great if it has multiple compartments so you’ll know where everything “belongs.” If this sounds like a lot of bags, don’t worry: there are plenty of options out there that look great while maximizing storage space–and they won’t break the bank either!
