Are you planning to take a trip overseas and want to pack light? This may seem like an impossible feat but it can be accomplished when you know what to pack and how to pack. Paloma Clothing carries a variety of clothing items and accessories suitable for inclusion in an intentionally light packing plan for overseas travel. Here, we discuss what to pack for an overseas trip when traveling light, as well as the clothing options and brands we carry to accommodate you.
Packing List for Overseas Travel
Packing light can make traveling much simpler by reducing the effort it takes to move around at airports, on trains, and during the trip. Depending on the type of trip you plan to take overseas, this can be essential. Stairs, cobbled streets, and other challenging terrain become much more manageable. Furthermore, by packing efficiently, you can change locations much more easily and more often if you’re planning to visit multiple locations while on your journey.
While there are many reasons why you should travel light, it’s often easier said than done. Packing light can be achieved by following these guidelines:
Only Pack the Must-Haves
As you think about your upcoming trip, it can be easy to begin imagining outfits in your mind and end up overpacking. To avoid bringing more than you need, remember to pack only your must-haves and not anything that would simply be nice to have on the trip. Before placing any item in your travel bag or suitcase, contemplate which category it falls under.
Pack Versatile Items
One of the easiest ways to pack light is to incorporate pieces that serve multiple purposes. That means staying away from specialty clothing or outer layers that can only be worn once. Additionally, stay away from bold or niche items that are difficult to pair with other outfits. Instead, bring with you items that can be dressed up when the occasion calls for it and dressed down when appropriate.
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
Unless it’s a surprise trip or a spur-of-the-moment decision, you should have enough time to pack smartly. If you give yourself only hours to pack before departing, you’re more likely to panic and quickly fill your luggage with items you don’t need.
