Women travel and what to wear |
Only take the number of clothing items you need for each day of travel. Since you want options, pack one or two extra outfits, not two options for each day. Pick outfits that you can wear with the same pair of shoes. This will reduce the shoe room needed.
Wear a suit for your meetings and conferences during the weekday, with low heels. On the weekend, wear comfortable linen dresses, linen pants or long linen skirts. For site seeing, or shopping, wear the most comfortable ensemble for the weather. This is usually a short sleeved shirt and jeans with flat shoes. Don't forget to bring a hat for those windy or sunny days.
Only bring sleepwear for half of the number of nights you will be there. Also pack some lounge wear or sweats, a pair of tennis shoes, and comfortable walking shoes. When traveling, you want to carry a small handbag versus your big hobo bag.
Nightlife options should be comfortable but classy. Many nightclubs and lounges have a dress code, so don't forget the little black dress, you can get in anywhere with that. Make sure all of your outfits are versatile. You can always wear your dress suit without the jacket to have cocktails after dinner.
