LuxeGetaways Magazine – Fall 2016 | When it comes to traveling, there is always the need for that go-to jacket and swimsuit when packing your bags for your next exciting destination. The key to finding the perfect travel jacket is versatility. Several of our favorite looks include the classic trench and cinched-waist coasts (ideal for unpredictable and in-between-seasons’ weather), a fitted blazer (for a professional finish to a look), a chic leather jacket (they never go out of style and can take you from day to night easily) and Athleisure (offers several choices from comfort to modern vogue).
Swimsuits are available in so many styles, sizes and patterns today that there is always a perfect swimsuit for each occasion. It often depends on your destination, and whether you will be relaxing in a spa and indoor pool environment; sunbathing on a white sandy beach; or living the posh life on a yacht. While women have a wider variety of swimsuits that are easily paired with cover ups, men’s selections are primarily about the colors and patterns; and then the decision of going with the briefs, longer board shorts, or somewhere in between – with the 5-inch short currently being the most popular choice for traveling, or fitting any situation.
Colors and patterns are often the main priority in picking swimsuits. Neutrals are always the best bet for making a style work year-round, but don’t be afraid of a pop of color that matches the destinations you frequent, and your personality. For some inspiration, we have pulled a few of our favorite jacket and swimsuit options for men and women this season so that you can discover the best solution for you to travel in style.
