Happy Monday! I'm headed to New York City later this week, so I've got a few related posts planned over the next few days.
First up: what to wear when you're traveling so that you look polished, but that will let you be out and about all day sightseeing, shopping, museum-hopping, eating, and generally wandering (one of my favorite things to do when I'm visiting a new place is to just walk through the different neighborhoods and get a feel for the city).
My main guidelines are comfortable flat shoes, lots of thin layers so you can adjust for indoor, outdoor, day, and evening temperatures, and a bag that's big enough to hold everything you need, but not so giant that it's a pain to lug around. This usually translates to lots of
skinny jeans,
blazers and jackets,
cross-body bags (no hands needed!),
shirtdresses, and
flat sandals. A couple of fine examples:
What's your traveling style? Do you have any particular shoes, bags, or staples that you never leave home without?
