You have been locked up in our new covid world for way too long. At last you are vaccinated and ready to book your vacation to Cancun, Hawaii, or somewhere equally as warm and exotic.
But what will you pack? What will you wear? How will you stay looking stylish on your vacation, even when that tropical heat makes you feel like a sweaty, frizzy mess.
The secret to not missing out on any fun on your vacation is packing the right things.
After 10 years living, sailing and working in the Caribbean, I have some tips to make packing easy.
Take heed of the old rule for packing ...
Pack everything you think you need onto the bed,
then put half of it back into your cupboard.
You will seriously wear the same things over and over again.
WHAT TO PACK for your island vacation.
Make sure to pack some longer sleeve items for sun protection too. You don't want to get fried on your first day.
Try to stick to linen and cotton fabrics too. Believe me, the difference between wearing these fabrics compared to wearing synthetics that do not breath (such as rayon, nylon and polyester) will be simply life changing. I know, because I learnt the hard way. I sweated it out in rayon dresses for the first 3 years before I thought to wear cotton.... and crazily enough I am a trained designer who should have known better haha.
