When we travel, we love taking plenty of photos so that we have something to look back on when the journey comes to an end. If we’re being honest, we also like to share the odd snapshot on social media (pics or it didn’t happen, right?), and for this, we find the right outfit can really make or break the picture. Pajamas don’t exactly scream “Paris,” even if they are printed with little Eiffel Towers, but at the same time, we want to be comfortable enough to walk around and explore. If you can relate, read on for some tips on how to stay comfortable and look good while traveling.

Layer Up

Layering is your best friend when traveling, as having the option to add or remove pieces throughout the day will allow you to stay comfortable while still looking put together. For example, if it’s hot but you want a photo in a stylish jacket, wear a plain tank top or t-shirt, then throw the jacket on when you’re ready to take your shot.

Choose Comfortable Fabrics in Stylish Cuts

When choosing your travel clothes, opt for pieces made from fabrics that are both comfortable and wrinkle-resistant. Cotton is a great option that will allow you to move easily and maintain a polished appearance. Linen, on the other hand, has a soft, breathable texture, but also tends to become wrinkled quite quickly. Look for pieces that you’d feel okay walking around in for an extended period of time in classic, flattering cuts, such as a pair of cotton trousers.

Invest in Comfy Footwear

As much as your choice of footwear can make or break your travel experience, so too can the right footwear transform your outfit. Look for flats or sneakers with memory foam insoles that will provide comfort and support as you navigate your way through cobblestone streets, opting for styles in dark colors to prevent any unsightly stains from ruining your pictures.
