Pack Active Lifestyle Clothing For A Great Holiday

By Eliza Mendoza


One of the hardest parts of preparing for a journey is deciding on the best clothes to pack. Many travelers have lugged around a pair of heavy jeans that they hardly wore during their trip. Choose some good, stylish active lifestyle clothing though and you'll be comfortable while looking great at the same time.

Clothes that are suitable for indoor sports are often a great item to take on your travels because they tend to be stylish and versatile. With the right top, you can even wear yoga pants to dinner in a restaurant. When you get back to your hotel or hostel, you don't even have to change because those pants make comfortable sleepwear too. A stylish sweater is a great choice for the evening or for rainy days too.

For strenuous outdoor activities, you need a pair of strong, durable pants. Cargo pants are great because you can use the pockets for carrying anything from sunscreen to energy bars. Some stores sell pants with legs that you can simply unzip to turn your long trousers into short pants, making for an extra versatile piece of clothing.

Good swimwear is essential too. If you're going to spend most of your time on the beach, by all means pack bikinis. However, a tankini that provides more cover is great for water sports. Besides, you'll even be able to wear the top as a sexy, normal top if you pair it with a skirt of nice pants. Men will find that their boardshorts make for great daywear too, especially if they choose more subdued designs instead of loud floral patterns.

Many people make the mistake of packing too many pairs of underwear. However, if you choose wisely, you won't need more than three pairs. Synthetic fabrics or cotton-and-Lycra blends are good choices because they dry very quickly. Women should also take at least one sports bra for activities such as hiking or horse-riding.

Your shoes are some of the most important items you can pack because you'll probably spend a lot of time walking. Do some research before your trip to see whether you'd need a pair of hiking boots or whether sneakers would be fine. Then pack the lightest shoes possible. Flip flops are great for the shower, for the beach or for lazing around in and comfortable sandals are perfect for travel days in hot weather.

Socks are a great item to pack too but you don't need more than three pairs. Choose a fabric that will dry easily, such as Lycra. Another accessory that's always a good idea is a bandanna. It will protect your head from the sun, is a great solution for bad hair days and on a hot day, you simply need to dip it in water and tie it around your head or neck for an instant cooling-off device.

Most clothing stores sell active lifestyle clothing but for the best choices, head to your local sports or outdoors store. Another option is to look online. Buy the most stylish-looking items you can find because then you'll even be able to wear them when you go out.
