Travel isn\u2019t synonymous with style. In fact, it\u2019s kind of the antithesis.\u00a0But it needn\u2019t be that way. There\u2019s no secret formula, no hidden recipe and there\u2019s certainly no reason to be strolling around in zip-off cargo\u00a0pants and jelly shoes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few key points to remember:<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t overthink it<\/h3>\n

\"TURK0736\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re trekking in Nepal or Patagonia or traversing glaciers in Antarctica, wearing \u201cadventure clothing\u201d is mostly unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Sure, limited suitcase or backpack space may be prohibitive and multipurpose items like the aforementioned zip-off cargo pants may seem very practical. But if you were wandering the streets of your own city for the day, would you whip out the cargos and hiking boots?<\/p>\n

Think about that. If you\u2019re in a city, dress for the city. If you\u2019re at the beach, dress for the beach. Polar fleece isn\u2019t an all occasion fabric. Nor are board shorts an all-occasion pant.<\/p>\n

2. These boots were made for walking<\/h3>\n

\"TURK1616\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Comfortable shoes are very important, yes. You\u2019ll be spending more time on your feet than you usually would, walking cobbled streets, strolling through markets, ducking up rollicking country lanes, but comfort doesn\u2019t necessarily mean jelly shoes.<\/p>\n

There are so many comfortable, practical options available now that are appropriate for walking AND looking stylish. After all, you need your comfortable shoes to take from those cobbled streets right into that hidden romantic caf\u00e9 you just stumbled upon. If the moment catches you, you don\u2019t want to run home to change your shoes (or worse still, dine in Crocs).<\/p>\n

3. Basics are your friend<\/h3>\n

\"TURK0493-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Limited space is a very real problem. You can\u2019t pack every incarnation of every outfit into that tiny 20kg bag (see point 1 re. zip-offs). So choose simple basics that work together.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing how far a few classic white shirts, some simple tees<\/a>,\u00a0good jeans, some classic shorts\u00a0and a basic t-shirt dress will get you. Keep it clean and simple and you will be rewarded with versatility and travel elegance.<\/p>\n

4. Stick to natural fibres<\/h3>\n

\"TURK0471\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You will regret the 100% nylon top \u2013 razzle-dazzle though it may be – you bought when you\u2019re sweating it out with the locals on the Indian rail. Similarly, nothing keeps you warm like a good merino layer when you\u2019re traversing the depths of a European winter. Essentially, natural fibres breathe, which is perfect for warmer climates and long days, but also perfect for limited access to washing facilities.<\/p>\n

5. Be culturally appropriate<\/h3>\n

\"TURK0195\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Research where you\u2019re travelling and dress accordingly. In essence, the key to dressing well on the road is blending in and being respectful. That might mean covering up more than usual (think long sleeves), or having a versatile cover all or scarf handy for temples and churches.<\/p>\n

6. Bag it up<\/h3>\n

\"TURK1062\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Handbags and day bags are another integral element of travel wear. You often end up carrying more than you usually would day-to-day while you\u2019re out exploring – cameras, notebooks, sun cream. But that doesn\u2019t mean you need a trekking pack. There are a number of great, easy totes or\u00a0and simple daypacks available now that don\u2019t scream \u201cI\u2019m travelling and I have lots of expensive gear in my backpack.\u201d<\/p>\n
