Travelling in the summers used to be a staple as a kid. Remember how summer vacations would be a chance to go to your grandma's house or visit some of the most touristy spots in the country!? However, the sweltering heatwave might be putting some kinks in your plans. Fret not, all is manageable with some SPF and planning outfits that will go with your beach vacation as well as a short hike.
A Sturdy Pair of Shoes
sourceYou knew this was coming right? A good pair of shoes can take you places, but a comfortable one can take you miles! So if you are planning to walk or hike or even simply laze, make sure to carry comfy shoes like a pair of sandals or your trusty sneakers. We recommend you consider buying a pair of Birkenstock sandals or your favourite brand of sneakers.
Comfortable Shorts
sourceSummer is the perfect time to chuck the denim and opt for an airy pair of shorts. The materials that say summer are linen and cotton, but hey if you have one in denim, we suggest not wearing it around for lounging but pairing it up for an evening stroll across a new city.
Ditch the Shirts and Tees
sourceAll-season staples, shirts and t-shirts are never not in vogue. However, if you are bored of the plain white tees, take a page from the book of travel influencer, Akanksha Monga. Get your hands on print tops, shrugs and a bit of quirky patterns to elevate your look. Men can opt for shirts in prints or maybe a muscle tee to add a bit of funk to their look.
Essential Accessories
sourceSeen the fanny pack trend going around? Well, make that your travel must-have! You can carry all the trinkets like lip balm, sunblock and some extra cash in case of emergencies. But, make it stylish. Get some prints, and add a bit of panache. You can also opt for trendy jewellery, something versatile like a pair of earrings or a bunch of boho rings.
Shrug it Off
sourceIf you have been on the 'gram too long, you would know that a lot of Indie brands have created businesses, solely selling shrugs. And if you aren't into packing a lot, a shrug coupled with great tees or tops can elevate your look for an evening around the city, a day on the beach or even a dinner outing! Fun fact, these are unisex so wear it as you go!
