Going on vacation: 8 things that will take up little space and replace an entire closet

Shopping Live fashion expert

The long-awaited vacation is approaching, and with it comes the headache of what to take with you. Some always have nothing to wear, others, on the contrary, have so many clothes that no suitcase will not be enough. In fact, on vacation is enough a few universal things from which you can collect a maximum of images. What can be included in a woman’s vacation capsule?

The first rule when assembling a suitcase – forget the phrase “In case it comes in handy”. Many mistakenly believe that on vacation will finally want to “walk” all the dresses and sandals, which in the city allegedly have nowhere to wear. As a result, in all the photos they are painted in shorts and a T-shirt.

The fact is that vacation – a time when we want to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Select clothes, focusing on this criterion. It is good that today comfortable clothes are not only sports pants with hoodies. Here we mean basic things that are perfectly combined with each other, making completely different images.

Give preference to natural materials. In them you will not be so hot and the body will be able to breathe. Be sure to have at least one thing with an actual summer print. It can be: stripes, vegetable, “jungle” or abstract.

Another important rule is that the “tops” should be thought out more carefully than the “bottoms”. In the second case, shorts and a skirt will be enough for you. By the way, the dress can also serve as a bottom, if you put a shirt on it. But on top of one T-shirt clearly can not do. Think through options with both short and long sleeves.

What eight things will allow you to make up a whole vacation closet and at the same time will not take up too much space in the suitcase.

A bandeau top or a model with open shoulders are great options, if the figure allows. They will be practically invisible in the suitcase, but they will help to create interesting images.
