Winter morning in early February. Today I have to decide on myclothing as our first visit to “Galinotati” is coming up. I stand in front of the wardrobe thinking. A sense of Deja vou! Before every trip… what to take… how to dress up… Each time less hesitant, more experienced. Now I consider myself learned… or not? But what did I learn? I learned how to decide what clothes to buy. For some, clothing during travels may be something simple or uninteresting. However, choosing the right or wrong clothes can greatly affect the outcome of your trip. Getting cold or sweating while trying to enjoy a walk or not being able to follow activities and shows due to clothing is not the best.
So let’s analyze 6 key factors that you should consider before packing your luggage.
#1 Budget
Financial cost is an important factor in organizing a trip. Most travelers try to adapt their clothing needs to the baggage policy of their chosen airline.
A “low-cost” company usually follows a strict baggage policy, which limits the size of the bag, as despite the attractiveness of the ticket price, a normal-sized suitcase costs extra. Consequently, their low cost profile is lifted and passengers adjust their luggage accordingly.
#2 Weather conditions
Studying weather report for your destination is essential, as it will determine your clothing. Since there is no way to take the entire wardrobe with you, the information about the weather conditions will guide you to the appropriate combination of clothes, which will not leave you exposed to the elements of the weather.
Extra tip: A very good site to be informed about the weather conditions of the destination country, as well as prices, accommodation, activities, attractions, transportation and car rental is hikersbay.
#3 Purpose of journey
The end justifies the means… For travelers, the end determines the trip and in your case, clothing. A leisure trip requires different preparation than a business trip, in which you may also need a specific dress code. It would be legitimate to put functional and durable clothes in your suitcase.
#4 Trip with friends or solo
The amount of your luggage is also determined by whether you are traveling alone, with friends or with your partner. Traveling alone, you have full control of the trip, and therefore of your luggage. So you won’t have to share space or add luggage. However, traveling with friends or with your partner is a good opportunity to save luggage and money by choosing a shared large luggage.

#5 Whereabouts
The new place you dream of visiting may be quite different from the one where you permanently live and work.
In order to choose the right clothes for your next travel excursion, let’s study apart from the usual (sights, local cuisine, entertainment) religion, as well as the relationship of the inhabitants with it. The character of your clothing should respect and not provoke.
Certainly, the economic situation and the prevailing living conditions should not be ignored, as with your clothing you can come into complete contrast with the local population. For every traveler, the goal is to enjoy their chosen destination, avoiding through clothing choices to attract the attention of a well-dressed ensemble, being aesthetically out of place, or to run the risk of being a victim of theft due to their inconspicuous expensive clothes.
#6 Footwear
The puzzle of your travel outfit can’t be completed until you’ve decided which shoes to wear. Your shoes are meant to take you to new places. To support you on the uphills, to warm you on winter night walks, to make sure that the hot desert sand will welcome your steps. Taking the trip, if you want, is a simple matter. Choose functional, comfortable and durable footwear. With them you will walk to the places of your dreams!
Open your wardrobe, fill your bags and fly! Away!
