What Not to Wear on a Trip

Many travelers are more knowledgeable on how to find cheap airplane tickets and cheap vacation packages than are aware of what not to wear when traveling.

The following items should be left at home when packing for your next trip:

Fanny packs may be practical and lightweight, but fanny packs are one of the most unflattering accessories anyone can wear. Instead consider wearing a money belt or a small cross body bag.

Wearing sandals with socks is considered a major no no.

Convertible pants that detach at the knees that become shorts once unzipped. Instead if your destination has a wide range of temperatures, pack a variety of clothes including both pants and shorts.

Stiletto heels should be left at home particularly if you will be visiting a city that sports cobblestone streets. Such heels are bulkier to pack than flats and typically are incredibly uncomfortable. An attractive pair of flats or sandals are more practical to take on a trip.

All white sneakers paired with blue jeans are viewed as a major fashion faux paw in Europe. Bright white sneakers show every speck of dirt. It is smart to avoid wearing white clothing and accessories when traveling. Darker colors tend to hide dirt much better.

Men and women should avoid packing skimpy swimwear, whether mens Speedo swim briefs or womens thong bikinis. Men should opt for a fun pair or trunks or board shorts. Woman should pack a minimum of two bathing suits: one for sunbathing and one for more active adventures. www.cheapfares.com
