When it comes to travelling and packing, style can prove problematic, either reaching your destination with an inappropriate wardrobe, or arriving feeling dishevelled with crumpled clothing. We all experience long delays and cramped airline cabins, so it is imperative that you dress accordingly when setting off on your travels.Follow our fool proof guide and top styling tips for you, which will transform your travel experience.
Luggage
There are few things that never go out of style, and chief among them is great luggage. A well-made bag is potentially a future heirloom, and although the first scuff can be heart-breaking, use will give it character and in time a beautiful patina.

Footwear
Be prepared for the increased scrutiny that is now experienced at security with a pair of slip on shoes. A pair of loafers, either smart or casual, saves you hassle at the metal detector when taking them off, and can be easily kicked off when you are on board.

Layering
The ideal travel outfit is made up of layers that can be added or subtracted depending on the temperature. During your travel you will always encounter a wide range of temperatures, from the chill of the air conditioning on board to the heat of a warm destination.
Key Piece
A soft blazer will both complement your loafers, together with effortlessly raising the sartorial tone. A navy blue style can take you to smarter events and meetings when teamed with a crisp white shirt and tie, or for more casual occasions it will be equally appropriate.

Quick tips:
Call your bank before leaving to ensure they know your planned whereabouts, so you don’t get an unexpected denial of service.
For air travel, wear as little metal as possible. Packing your belt in your carry-on and putting it on while waiting for your flight will save you time at security.
Place a business card both inside and outside your baggage. This will both help you spot your bag on the carousel, and offer extra back-up when recovering a missing bag.
Choose a wardrobe colour scheme, the key to packing light is making sure every piece can be interchangeable with one another.
