Do you ever feel like you need a break? Not a coffee break or a night out with friends, but a long, refreshing getaway to help you recharge. If the answer is yes, then it’s no wonder, because, with our busy schedules and hectic lifestyle, everyone deserves some time off to dedicate completely to oneself. So clear out your schedule for a few days and arrange an exotic getaway. You may want to ask your close friends and/or your partner to join you. To be honest, they could probably also enjoy a holiday. But of course, we all have different arrangements and schedules, so do keep that in mind.
Then it’s time to pack, and here is how to do it with style.
Morning outfits
Don’t go overboard with your fashion items, but do pack so you feel good in what you wear. You will definitely need your workout clothes, so pack a few options. This will be perfect for those early mornings when you and your partner decide to go for a nice, long run in the open. He can grab his favorite workout gear, like a sporty compression shirt and some shorts, and you can put on your colorful yoga pants and a comfortable tank top designed especially for women who love to exercise in nature. Of course, running sneakers are a must. It might sound odd, but you can truly express your style with a pair of trendy workout sneakers.
For breakfast, you can wear a lovely, cotton dress and some slides. You really don’t need anything else for a chill breakfast on your getaway, except for a pair of chic sunglasses and a hat. Hats are a big trend right now and you shouldn’t shy away from them; just give them a chance and you will find a perfect one for you.
Exploring time dress code
This is what you came for, to visit new places, enjoy sightseeing and try out local food. For this part of your getaway, you will need some comfortable clothes. What do you think about jumpsuits? Convenient and chic, they will be the best choice for those long walks. Pair a bright-colored jumpsuit with some flat sandals and don’t forget to pack a map of your current location in your trusty tote bag. Now you’re all ready to go and enjoy.
Another great option for a daytime outfit is Bermuda shorts. You may have forgotten about this fashion item, but they are back in style. A truly versatile item, Bermuda shorts can be paired with almost everything. It’s up to you to make a choice and go for something unexpected or a classic, white T-shirt. As for footwear, go for flat sandals or those running sneakers, they will do just fine. Bring a backpack and a denim jacket (in case it gets chilly), and you have created an appropriate and cozy outfit, without having to overpack for it.
You will also need two more things when you go exploring: sunscreen and a water bottle. Make sure to apply sunscreen before heading out into the Sun, and remind your partner to do the same. Fill your water bottles and then you are fully prepared for your tour.
Beach and Spa time styles
A proper getaway should always include some time spent in absolute relaxation, whether it is on the beach, at a spa, or preferably, both. This means that you will most certainly need some swimwear. One-piece swimsuits or bikinis, the choice is up to you. One thing is for sure and that is that both of these versions of swimwear are very fashionable right now. Every girl and woman loves a cute triangle bikini, but it’s also impossible to resist an elegant one-piece swimsuit. If you just can’t decide, simply pack a few options of both.
Sunglasses and hats are already in your suitcase, so add a modish tribal pareo and a pair of lively-colored thongs. You may want to add in a book that you’ve wanted to read for the longest time and a journal. A journal is something that is always good to have with you so that all of the memorable moments can be captured in writing.
Lastly, don’t forget about the beauty essentials. A moisturizer and a face toner, together with a nourishing body lotion will keep your skin as hydrated as it was during the spa treatments. As for indulging your skin while sunbathing, besides a sunscreen, a refreshing face mist is a must.
Styles for dinner time
In the evenings, you can freely add a bit more glam to your outfit. Wide linen trousers matched with a satiny off-the-shoulder blouse is a modern, yet relaxed style. A silky dress is there if you want to look and feel exquisite. Bring a pair of high heels to match with these outfits and you will need nothing more.
In the end, don’t stress too much about packing and styling. Dedicate your time to yourself and your partner, love and relish every moment of your getaway.
