DolmaWhether you’re traveling to a resort in Mexico, Hawaii, Palm Springs, or the Caribbean, it can be difficult to pack lightly while ensuring you bring along stylish, comfortable outfits. Take it from Paloma Clothing – the last thing you want is to spend your trip in heat-trapping materials or wrinkled garments, so it’s important to load your suitcase wisely. Because we love to travel, we’re offering some of our best resort travel fashion advice so you can enjoy your trip to the fullest and look great while doing it.

Fabrics to Consider

When shopping for travel clothes, your priority is packability and ease. You want something that will fit in your suitcase, won’t be too heavy for the plane, and will be easy to care for when you get to your destination. And because you’re headed somewhere warm, you need fabrics that are cool and breathable, not heavy and dense.

When it comes to vacation textiles, natural fibers are best. Cotton in particular is a popular choice. It’s lightweight, comfy, and super breathable, making it great for chilling on the beach or by the pool bar. It’s also durable and easy to wash, so you don’t need to worry about tricky garment care when you’d rather be relaxing on your trip.
