Of course, it is important as well to stay true to yourself and be comfortable no matter where you are. However, keep in mind that different place may hold different culture, religious beliefs, or customs you should respect as you are the guest. Hence, it affects how you should dress during travel. Two important things you need to keep in mind in deciding what to wear are safety and comfort. Dress comfortable for safe travel The majority of seasoned travelers love looking casual where they can also blend with the locals. They don’t really like it when they stick out like a sore thumb because it brings unnecessary attention. And keep in mind that it is not always good attention you receive while travelling to unfamiliar places. Hence, it is essential to know what to wear to stay comfortable and safe during travel. Avoid too revealing clothes Regardless if your destination is strict with the way visitors dress or not, it is more recommended to choose modest clothing. It is safer for you to pack and wear clothes that can cover up appropriately. This way, you don’t really have to constantly worry whether or not you will offend the locals or put yourself in jeopardy by wearing certain clothes. Some places such as churches in Europe and religious sites in Asia tend to have strict dress code. Pants and long skirts are a safe bet. If you are unsure, bring a shawl or sweater in your bag just in case. Avoid wearing too many jewelries Flashy jewelries look beautiful to wear especially when you want to take fabulous pictures of yourself during travel. However, your jewelries can put your safety in jeopardy because they bring unwanted attention especially for people with bad intention that target tourists. If you have pricey valuable, it is more recommended to leave them at home. Avoid wearing impractical items Wearing impractical shoes or pants can put you in major discomfort during travel, especially when your itinerary involves walking for hours. Hence, always wear and pack comfortable shoes that give your foot good support. Also, it is recommended to not wear jeans for travel because they don’t breathe well and take long time to dry out. Tight jeans might not be good for your blood circulation during a flight as well. Hiking pants and sweatpants are good options for travel. Excessive technology It is recommended that you pack devices you really need. There is no need to pack all your tech accessories for your trip. Aside from higher risk of losing or have them stolen, large tech accessories might just put yourself and others in uncomfortable situation. If you want to take great picture with your professional camera, make sure to keep your other gadgets such as phone or stored safely inside your bag. Also, be careful when taking selfies or poses in dangerous locations. Always pay attention to signs and warnings. Travel
