Pack Active Lifestyle Clothing For A Great Holiday

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.

If you're planning on being an active traveler, you'll also need the right clothes for the outdoors. Especially pants should be durable and strong for trekking through rugged terrain. Find a pair that has lots of pockets for those little things like sunscreen. For even more practicality, pack a pair of pants that you can easily convert from long pants into shorts by unzipping the legs.

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.

The one item you shouldn't neglect is your shoes. You'll likely do plenty of walking and you need footwear that is comfortable. Hiking boots are great but be sure you'll wear then often or they'll simply clutter your luggage. Many hikes can be done in good sneakers instead. Sandals with thick soles are perfect for warmer weather and for travel days. A pair of flip flops is essential too for when your feet need to rest after an active day. Besides, they're perfect for the shower.

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.

There are many options when it comes to active lifestyle clothing. You'll find it in most clothing shops but the greatest variety is available from outdoors and sports shops. Choose wisely and you'll find that it's incredibly versatile too.
