Include items that are easy to maintain; namely, select clothing that will resist wrinkles. One way to minimize wrinkling is to pack either 100 percent or at least 50 percent polyester clothing. Polyester resists wrinkles, making the fabric an excellent choice for traveling. In addition, there are clothing manufacturers that produce wrinkle resistant clothing. For example, for both men and women, there are clothes by Dockers. Dockers features basic casual clothing in addition to more dressy casual styles. For women, the company Chico's makes a "travelers" collection which features a wrinkle-resistant fabric in basic styles that can be worn together to make several different versatile outfits.
No matter where you are going to travel, it is crucial to bring a decent pair of walking shoes. Walking shoes will not only save your feet from injury, such as blistering when you are on your journeys, but walking shoes are also great for air travel, as they are safe for a plane and will help when walking through an airport. It is important to break any new shoes before you go on your trip; simply wearing the shoes while at home will do wonders. Include bandages and petroleum jelly in your suitcase as well. A little bit of petroleum jelly on areas prone to blistering can prevent blisters from forming.
Whether you will be traveling to a cold or warm location, it is a good idea to bring appropriate headwear and accessories. If you're traveling to a cold destination, include a warm hat. In addition, you should carry two pairs of gloves and a scarf and a pair of waterproof boots. If you're traveling to a warm location, pack a wide-brimmed hat. It is a good idea to bring a bathing suit and thongs for warm locales. Finally, regardless of whether the destination features a cold or hot climate, remember to bring accessories such as sunglasses with UV protection and sunscreen.
