36 Chic Travel Outfits: What to Pack for Your Holiday

By Gemma Prior

Creating a packing list for a holiday always seems a challenge. How do you cover all the weather you might be dealt without packing in excess? How do you cater for the different settings and occasions, casual days and evenings out? And of course, what will keep you comfortable?

Packing the travel outfits that will provide everything you need for your trip, but also offer the style you enjoy, can take hours.

When you enjoy fashion, considering ideas for what you might get to wear while you’re away is fun. But actually packing what you need to create those holiday outfits is something else.

How can you create the packing list you need and want that will cater to a variety of occasions and changing weather conditions, all in your head!

Well, that’s why I 've created this blog sharing 36 versatile minimalist looks to help you create the packing list for your next holiday. You can thank me later.

I’m always a minimalist when it comes to my style, and I imagine if you’re here visiting With Bogart, minimalism may also be your go-to look. And one of the benefits of loving a minimalist style is the adaptability of outfits.

You can create so many outfit ideas with far fewer pieces than a more trend-focused or vibrant style simply because the pieces you have meld together so well.

I’ve included different wardrobe options for different seasons to provide a range of ideas. You can adjust each look with the layering option that suits the climate you’ll be dressing for. And it’s generally only a small change that’s required to make these looks work for a variety of seasons. You might replace a coat with a trench, or style with a light jumper rather than a turtleneck.

Another one of the things a minimalist wardrobe offers is the option to chop and change looks to suit whatever you’re dressing for in terms of the occasions you need to cover. It’s much easier to smarten a minimalist look simply by exchanging sneakers for a leather flat, or wearing a blazer rather than a casual jacket.

Colours in a minimalist wardrobe are also interchangeable. I’ve used a simple palette of black, white, grey and beige, however, other primary colours such as olive and brown could easily be included.

Of course, another challenge when creating a packing list for our travel is luggage restrictions. Whether you’re driving somewhere and there simply isn’t room in the car for you to take your entire wardrobe, or you’re travelling by air and weight limitations are the problem, we need to restrict our luggage.

So, please keep scrolling to find the 36 looks I’ve created to help you pack the travel outfits you need for your next trip. I've also included links to the pieces I've used to create these looks, or similar options. Enjoy!
