It's essential to pack the necessary goods while travelling, and its even more important to look fashionable while doing so. However, most of the time, we go overboard with our packing. To solve that problem, we have assembled a guide to travel fashion for men. It can give you a brief idea about travel fashion and tips and tricks to stay on top of your fashion game. Whether you travel for 3 days or a week, we will make sure you pack light this time you go on vacation. There are a few travel essentials in clothing that you need to invest in to balance your effortless travel style. If you’re looking to invest in high-end fits and accessories from Mr Porter, read on.

Heading for a vacation and packing heavy is a big turn-off as it prevents you from staying fresh all while long. Travelling calls for comfortable fits while ditching your regular attire. If you're going on a holiday to the beach, you would probably want to wear airy and breezy clothes as the temperature is generally warmer. If you're heading to a chilly place and are a mountain baby, carry a blazer, jacket, and jeans. Let's discuss the factors you must consider while packing your stuff for travel.

You must pack according to the weather. Before you pack, check the weather forecast. If rain is forecasted, an umbrella and a rain jacket are necessary. Choose Versatile Clothing; invest in clothes that can be worn in various settings, like a multi-functional blazer or timeless pair of jeans. Doing so will allow you to pack lighter and mix and match your outfits. Don't forget to check out Mr. Porter's selection of gifts so that he can find a fantastic present for the man in your life.

  • Go for Neutral Colors: Classic colours such as black, white, grey, and navy are perfect for any season and easily combined with other pieces.

  • Layer Your Outfits: Layering provides practical benefits while travelling and adds dimension to your look. Don't forget to pack a lightweight sweater or jacket to layer over your clothes.  

  • Opt for Comfortable Footwear: Select comfortable shoes, such as sneakers or loafers, that can be worn for extended periods. Avoid shoes that are too tight or uncomfortable.

  • Accessories can elevate your travel look. A pair of statement watches and a scarf can transform your dull outfit into a chic, vibrant one.

Now that we have highlighted the key points essential for travel fashion, let's discuss how to pair the outfits.

Contrasting plays an important role

Your earthy tones and medium colour range may not work if you're travelling. You must stick to dark and light shades, iconic colour combinations. You can wear dark and light pants, or dark pants and lighter-coloured T-shirts for contrast. This way, you can use one pair of jeans for the rest of your trip and team up with different uppers.

Team it up with solid colours!

As much as you love going to the beach, your travel also calls for one night out. Given its importance, you should not forget to pack a lighter. One casual T-shirt can be worn at the beach but not to the club. It's vital to have a shirt that can work in both places.

For instance, a plain, bright orange shirt with some accessories can be worn for a night out at the club and the beach with tailored shorts. You can find these items under the vacation category on Mr Porter's website. Additionally, you can use our Mr Porter promo code to save even more on your shopping.

Fits for hiking

When travelling, we cannot forget hiking and trekking; comfort should be our priority. A comfortable pair of track pants ensures no roadblocks during your hike. For instance, these RHUDE club-embroidered track pants, which offer a tapered fit, are ideal for this purpose and are available on Mr Porter.

As long as your hands are free, the journey will be serene. Ideally, you can carry a backpack that is both stylish and rugged. This Gucci leather and monogrammed backpack is perfect for storing your essentials while travelling.

Appropriate Sneakers

One classic pair of shoes can sum everything up. Going overboard with shoes is not a good idea, as they can add extra weight to your baggage. Packing a single shoe that can go with all your outfits will be a game changer.

For instance, we have assembled two options. These cute Gucci sneakers would be perfect for a breezy summer vacation. On the other hand, the Balenciaga shoes are versatile enough to be worn for casual sightseeing, hiking, or a club night.
