You've booked your flight, you've mapped out a route and you have an idea of what you want to see and do. Now the only thing left before you can go on your trip is to pack. While jeans are always comfortable and versatile, they're not very practical for traveling because they're so heavy and bulky. With active lifestyle clothing, however, you can look stylish and be comfortable and your trip will be a breeze.
The type of clothes that you'd use for indoor activities like yoga is great for traveling too. A pair of yoga or jazz pants, for instance, looks good as everyday wear. It can also double up as sleepwear so you don't have to pack pajamas. Add a sweater or a hoodie and you're ready for cool evenings 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.
It's always a good idea to pack swimwear, even if you're not going to be near the beach. There will always be a river, a swimming pool or a hot tub where you'll need the right attire. The great thing about swimwear is that it can double up as underwear. A man can also wear his boardshorts as daywear, while a woman can wear her tankini top with a skirt for a nice summery outfit.
You don't need to pack a pair of underwear for every day. Three pairs are more than enough. Choose fabrics such as Lycra or blends with a high percentage of synthetic fiber because these dry more quickly than pure cotton. In this way you only need to rinse out your underwear at night and by the next day it will be ready to wear again. A sports bra is an item that every woman should have in her luggage too, because it will make travel along bumpy roads much more comfortable.
Since you'll be doing a lot of walking, comfortable shoes are very important. It may be enough to take a pair of sneakers instead of bulky hiking boots but do your research beforehand. Good sandals are great too, especially in warmer climates. Pack a pair of flip flops too for the shower, the beach or for those times when you need to give aching feet a rest.
You don't need more than three pairs of socks if you choose wisely. Instead of wool, which takes a long time to dry, opt for acrylic or another synthetic mix that's light and dries quickly. You'll also find that a bandanna or two will come in very handy. Tie a wet one around your neck or head to cool off in the midday heat or use a bandanna as headscarf when you don't have the time to worry about your hair or when you need some sun protection.
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.
