Five globetrotting travel editors share their tips and tricks for a stylish, stress-free trip.
Author:Molly McLaughlinPublish date:Jul 29, 2019Updated onJul 29, 2019A travel uniform isn't just an outfit, it's a lifestyle. As a concept, it means packing simple pieces you can mix and match to suit a range of different vacay situations. A uniform can also make those early-morning airport dashes a little easier — because you'll already know what you're going to wear when you roll out of bed, and you already packed a solid selection of clothing for your trip.
Christina Pérez sits somewhere in the middle, having ditched her career as a fashion editor to build a life as a travel writer who now contributes to magazines like Departures and Vogue. "It depends on where I'm going and for how long," she explains. "Checking in luggage can feel very luxurious — it's nice to be able to move through an airport without dragging around a suitcase. Plus, I like to pack extra wardrobe options and I always bring my camera tripod.
As a Caribbean travel writer and on-camera host based in Miami, Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon's style is heavily influenced by the tropical destinations she regularly visits. "I keep my Rollaboard half-packed with flip-flops, my running shoes and a zippered pouch that has other trip essentials, such as a sarong," she says.
Fodor's Travel Editor Teddy Minford adds Uniqlo to the list of labels offering quality travel staples. "I'm super minimalist and monochrome with my wardrobe when I travel," she says. "Almost everything is black or white and I tend to gravitate toward natural fibers and forgiving silhouettes — sort of like an Eileen Fisher vibe, but much cheaper."
Greaves-Gabbadon keeps the lower half of her outfit simple while adding interest up top. "My uniform is jeans — my faves are boyfriend jeans from G-Star Raw — a graphic T-shirt, and I always wear a jacket, usually a colorful track jacket from Adidas," she says. "I especially like their collabs with Brazilian brand Farm Rio."
