The children’s story “The Emperor’s New Clothes” taught us all about foolishness and pride. It also taught us never to go out wearing inappropriate clothing, as the child honestly observed. This is one lesson that should never be set aside, especially among travelers.
Good, comfortable and practical clothes should be the top qualifiers when choosing what clothes to pack. But when do we say that a dress is good, comfortable and practical? Of course, this depends on where you are going and what your activities are going to be.
• Before choosing what clothes to pack, check the weather forecast of the place where you are going to. This will guide you as to what type of clothing to bring along.
• Travelers who are on business trips should of course bring their business suits. Taking along more than one coat would be too much. One black business coat should be satisfactory.
• Those who are traveling to tropical countries would do well not to pack any heavy, thick coats and warmers. Light-colored cotton shirts and pants should suffice. Bringing along one thin coat just to be ready for a cold nip in the air will be adequate.
• Travelers who are going to countries with colder climates should bring an ample supply of warm clothes. Warm clothes do not necessarily mean lugging around heavy, large trench coats. Bringing along thermal wear and clothes made of wool will be sufficient to ward off the cold weather.
• Of course, women should bring at least one dress presentable enough for that sudden dinner invite.
Shoes? Now that’s a topic for another post. Happy traveling! :)
