Now the pandemic has officially ended, according to WHO. Therefore, many people have started to make plans for their overseas holidays. With this comes the worry of how you will dress when you are on vacation. If you are a modern man looking to travel in style, this article is surely for you!
⦁ How to combine quality with style:
High-quality clothing doesn’t have to be boring. A typical euphemism in fashion for “boring” is “classic”. As a matter of fact, combining quality with style is totally possible. All you need to do is to implement the following principles:
⦁ Build a capsule closet that can travel with you. That is to say, you only need some necessities in your closet. When you go overseas for a holiday, you can easily put all your essential clothes in your luggage. A capsule closet consists of 7 outfits, so each day of the week, you have something different to wear. Because your closet only has 7 outfits in total, you can afford to buy high-quality items. This approach is so much better than buying a large number of low-quality items to fill the entire closet. None of those low-quality items will make you look good or feel great.
⦁ Consult with a stylist who is able to give you professional styling advice. You only need to invest in this consultation once and you can benefit from the advice forever. The stylist would tell you which style suits you, so you will be able to buy clothes based on helpful and practical advice. You will also be able to trust what they are saying since they are trained for this.
⦁ Understand the cost per wear. An item in your wardrobe is an investment if you choose to buy high-quality clothes because you can get a lot of wear out of it. Therefore, even if something is more expensive (and you think it’s higher than your budget), it can last for a very long time. As a result, its cost per wear is actually lower. When I say it’s an investment, I’m not just talking about cost per wear. I’m also talking about the benefits that you can enjoy because of the high-quality clothes.
Since it’s well made, the fabric is better. It’s better for your skin, especially if it’s a shirt, a sweater, a polo or a T-shirt. What’s more, as its quality is good, you feel better while wearing it. How much is your mood worth? Also, please don’t underestimate the potential benefit of wearing great clothes: when you dress well, your perceived value is higher. Hence, opportunities regarding career and relationships are more likely to find you!
⦁ You can travel in style effortlessly.
Traveling in style can be very simple, as long as you understand the following strategies.
⦁ Know what you will do at the destination. Let’s say you are going overseas for a conference and you’ll extend the duration so you’ll have a holiday as well. You would be well-advised to take both formal and casual clothes with you. For example, Liam is going to Europe for a 2-day conference and then he will spend 5 days there for a vacation after the conference. Thus, in Liam’s luggage, he has a suit, 2 shirts, 5 polos and 1 pair of jeans.
⦁ You don’t necessarily have to take a lot of clothes with you because you might buy some new clothes when you arrive at your destination. If you are going somewhere exotic such as Bali, chances are you can easily buy some new clothes in Bali because the products there are not expensive. What’s more, Bali obviously has more exotic clothing shops where you can find suitable clothes in that context. These new items will become souvenirs later. I’m sure you can travel in style without much effort in this way.
