Make Your Trip A Breeze With Active Lifestyle Clothing

By Eliza Mendoza


If you're planning on taking the trip of a lifetime, one of the most important things to consider is what to pack. It may be tempting to just take a couple of T-shirts and your favorite pair of jeans but jeans are rarely a good idea if you're going to be on the road a lot. They're bulky, heavy and take ages to dry. Instead, you may want to look at the many choices of active lifestyle clothing available.

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.

An essential for any trip is swimwear. While tiny bikinis are wonderful for a beach holiday, you may also want to pack something more suitable for water sports. For women, a tankini with boy shorts is great because you can wear the top as normal daywear too while for men, a pair of boardshorts is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can have in your luggage.

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.

Since you'll be doing a lot of walking, comfortable shoes are very important. It may be enough to take a pair of sneakers instead of bulky hiking boots but do your research beforehand. Good sandals are great too, especially in warmer climates. Pack a pair of flip flops too for the shower, the beach or for those times when you need to give aching feet a rest.

Pack a pair or two of socks too. Wool is warm but takes ages to dry, so consider acrylic or a cotton mix instead. Another wonderfully practical accessory is a bandanna, which can keep the sun off your head, keep you cool and is a life saver when you didn't have time to wash your hair.

There are many options when it comes to active lifestyle clothing. You'll find it in most clothing shops but the greatest variety is available from outdoors and sports shops. Choose wisely and you'll find that it's incredibly versatile too.
