From beautician to backpack: What to take with you on vacation
Text: Anya Krotikova
Outing on nature with tents, weekend in Europe or two weeks at sea - no matter what vacation you plan, you can’t do without a minimum set of basic things. We have compiled a brief guide on those items that will be useful to those who are accustomed to traveling light and those who are more comfortable to carry with them a stock of clothes and accessories.
Headdress
Sightseeing, relaxing on the beach or cycling tour of the city - in summer you can not do without a headdress in the city or outside it. Panamas, caps and visors are suitable for those who vote for active recreation or travel to the Scandinavian countries and the Baltic States, where a wide-brimmed hat will simply blow with a gust of wind. For a spectacular evening out, save a canter from the straw. However, you will have to carry such a hat in a special box, in your hands or hooked to a backpack.
Spacious bag
Another accessory, without which you can not do either on a short trip or on a vacation a month long. If the plans of beach activities, choose a bag of thick raffia or nylon - these materials are sand and direct sunlight do not care. Cotton shopping bags and shoppers will be suitable for shopping or long walks around the city, as they are unnecessary to easily hide in your pocket.
Sandals
The return of "hiking" sandals to us is only on hand - on vacation this is perhaps the most comfortable and versatile footwear. If walking is not your only holiday destination, grab a pair of combination dresses and a thin silk shirt — paired with massive sandals, this outfit is perfect for a party or a thoughtful visit to the palaces-museums.
Buttoned dress
Dress on buttons - a salvation for those who could not make friends with the cunningly beach pareos and scarves. Throwing it over a swimsuit, you can go to the nearest coastal bar for lunch, and immediately after the swim - for a walk around the city. Life hacking for those who go to a wild beach: a long dress with a free cut is also a bearable substitute for a dressing room.
Backpack
On a short trip, it is not at all necessary to take a suitcase with you - with proper skill you can get by with one backpack (and at the same time save money on paying for a piece of luggage). The best companions of the traveler are non-laundering nylon backpacks, which themselves weigh almost nothing, and due to the soft material they will fit the stock of things for a week.
Sunglasses
This summer, the designers allowed us to decide for ourselves which pair would come in handy in the next few months: in the windows of the frames, square, rounded and elongated, side by side with futuristic models and half-face glasses. The main rule: if you really plan to spend a lot of time in the sun, choose glasses with good protection so that your eyes are safe.
Athletic shorts
Sports shorts along with bicycles and walking shoes are firmly entrenched in our everyday wardrobe. In the heat, a pair of light breathing fabric will be a real salvation if you have to take a bus or a walking tour of the city. For the evening, this option also remains relevant - for example, in the company of mules and floral print shirts.
Shoes for the city
Comfortable sandals are not the only option for active travelers. Conquering mountain peaks, climbing green hills and descending into stone caves is best in closed shoes - at least for safety reasons. By the summer, most brands put on the shelves of stores lightweight versions of familiar models or special summer sneakers and sneakers - they are lighter and made of materials that let the air through.
Swimsuit
Even going on a weekend in the European capital, where there is no sea, do not forget about the swimsuit. In Hungary, swimming pools await you, in Italy - lakes, and in all other countries - outdoor city pools and saunas. A single retro-swimsuit has every chance of becoming an outfit for a pool party (for example, in a midi-skirt company in a flower), and a gang top can be worn in the city.
Clear Cosmetic Bag
Especially useful to those who are accustomed to travel light. This cosmetic bag simplifies the inspection system of things: according to airline rules, all liquids in hand luggage must be packed in a transparent travel bag or zip-lock bag. Look for boring and budget options in the mass market or in the department for travelers in large networks like IKEA.
