Make Travel Easier With Active Lifestyle Clothing

By Eliza Mendoza


If you're planning on taking the trip of a lifetime, one of the most important things to consider is what to pack. It may be tempting to just take a couple of T-shirts and your favorite pair of jeans but jeans are rarely a good idea if you're going to be on the road a lot. They're bulky, heavy and take ages to dry. Instead, you may want to look at the many choices of active lifestyle clothing available.

Some of the most stylish sports clothes around are for indoor activities such as yoga or dancing. They're comfortable too and because they don't look overtly sporty, they're very versatile. A nice-looking sweater is a great choice for cooler weather while yoga or dance pants are flattering and make for great sleepwear too.

For strenuous outdoor activities, you need a pair of strong, durable pants. Cargo pants are great because you can use the pockets for carrying anything from sunscreen to energy bars. Some stores sell pants with legs that you can simply unzip to turn your long trousers into short pants, making for an extra versatile piece of clothing.

An essential for any trip is swimwear. While tiny bikinis are wonderful for a beach holiday, you may also want to pack something more suitable for water sports. For women, a tankini with boy shorts is great because you can wear the top as normal daywear too while for men, a pair of boardshorts is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can have in your luggage.

Many people make the mistake of packing too many pairs of underwear. However, if you choose wisely, you won't need more than three pairs. Synthetic fabrics or cotton-and-Lycra blends are good choices because they dry very quickly. Women should also take at least one sports bra for activities such as hiking or horse-riding.

Your shoes are some of the most important items you can pack because you'll probably spend a lot of time walking. Do some research before your trip to see whether you'd need a pair of hiking boots or whether sneakers would be fine. Then pack the lightest shoes possible. Flip flops are great for the shower, for the beach or for lazing around in and comfortable sandals are perfect for travel days in hot weather.

Pack a pair or two of socks too. Wool is warm but takes ages to dry, so consider acrylic or a cotton mix instead. Another wonderfully practical accessory is a bandanna, which can keep the sun off your head, keep you cool and is a life saver when you didn't have time to wash your hair.

Most clothing stores sell active lifestyle clothing but for the best choices, head to your local sports or outdoors store. Another option is to look online. Buy the most stylish-looking items you can find because then you'll even be able to wear them when you go out.
