Travel is arguably one of the most fun activities for most of us. However, deciding what to pack can put some of us in a dilemma. Here are a few tips to make sure that one is on the go like a pro. There are a few must-haves for travel, like a a simple slip dress, as it can be worn on different occasions. Also, a blazer or any form of formal jacket comes in handy on holidays. Jackets are versatile — they can be dressed up or down according to the outing. A crisp white shirt with blue jeans is effortless and stylish. Carry a dressy top for night outing.

It is always advisable to travel light. But, do not forget to pack a pair of sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, a good book to read and power bank. Accessorie­s play a major role to uplift your look. Go for jewellery that is easy to pair and is fuss free.

The handbag that can carry your basic essentials is the one you should be carrying. A cross-body bag in tan, black or a nude shade is the best bet.

The need for a stylish and comfortabl­e pair of shoes shouldn’t be underestim­ated. And, white sneakers get a thumbs up. Skin care products are the most important during travel, as when you do get on a flight or due to change in climates, the skin tends to get very dry or act up in general. Thus, a great moisturise­r and eye cream are among essentials.

Also, a little makeup should be carried. Never travel without your BB cream, concealer, mascara and red lipstick.

Another smart thing to do is to carry your workout gear. It won’t take much space and you will be able to exercise as and when you get time.
