Traveling is challenging enough without worrying about
looking fashionable while you do it. But Kate Young, a New York-based stylist
who counts actresses Margot Robbie and Michelle Williams among her clients,
says that it doesn’t take a lot of effort to look stylish on the road.

“Anyone can look chic while traveling, and there’s no need
to spend a lot or pack a lot to do it,” Young said. She noted that she travels
often and rarely checks in a bag. Here are her best tips for traveling light
and looking good at the same time.
Pack clothes in three coordinating colors: When
deciding what clothes to pack, choose pieces in three matching colors so you
can mix and match each piece to create multiple outfits for different days.
Pick the colors based on where you’re going.
If you’re headed to Paris or another urban destination, for
example, any combination of black, white, navy and charcoal is a good bet. For
a beach vacation or outdoors excursion, consider khaki, off-white (or white)
and bright hues. Young likes white linen in particular because it’s cool in
warm weather, can be worn during the day and is also nice for evenings out. And
when it comes to the actual articles of clothing to take, Young said that a
pair of jeans, a pair of nice pants, a striped button-down, a blazer and a
comfortable T-shirt are always good options.
Minimize the shoes: Most women don’t need to
bring more than three pairs of shoes on any trip, Young suggests. Exercise
sneakers, comfortable loafers, low boots or sandals and, for evenings, heeled
sandals.
Men can generally get by with two pairs: sneakers and
loafers. And a tip for everyone when it comes to sneakers: Many sportswear
brands make lightweight pairs that fold.
Fly in exercise gear: Exercise clothes are
becoming increasingly fashionable, and for flights, especially long-haul
journeys, they’re incredibly comfortable to wear. They also fold neatly and fit
into virtually any bag.
Young suggested that women consider compression leggings,
along with a long-sleeved cotton top and coat, while men try a pair of track
pants and a track jacket or a hoodie.
Accessorize the right way: A few key accessories
can change the look of an entire outfit, Young said. On her travels, she always
packs some costume jewelry. She also puts her makeup in a sleek pouch that
doubles as an evening bag. Men, alternatively, or people who don’t wear
jewelry, should consider a few pairs of bright socks in fun patterns, just to
add a little personality to otherwise simple, coordinating outfits.
Bring one dressy, flexible outfit: If you have a
formal evening or event planned during your trip, don’t bother with bulky
dresses and heavy full suits and jackets.
Young suggested that women opt for a slip dress, high-heeled
sandals and a pair of bold earrings, while men should go for a pair of slacks,
a flexible, multipurpose blazer, a crisp white shirt and loafers.
