Tortoiseshell eyewear
Classic tortoiseshell sunglasses are a fashion staple for the rich. They are chic and understated; they usually wear well with any style of clothing. This is something you will see someone who was born into money wear.
Navy or gray blazer (weighted for the season)
You never know when you will encounter a cool night or be put in a situation where you must up your style for an event. A blazer is easy to dress up with a skirt and simple blouse. Dress it down with a button-down and jeans.
Button-down shirt
Never leave your home without at least two button-down shirts, and make sure one of them is white. You can create a lot of classy looks with a white button-down. You can wear them:
Tucked into slacks
Belted with jeans
Roll up the sleeves and wear khaki shorts and sandals
Wear them open over a mid-drift tank top
Cardigan sweater – great for draping over your shoulders
Quality Watch
Your watch is part of your fashion. It is expected and functional. Invest in at least one that compliments your style.
The Classic Little black dress
You may wear it with heels and pearls for a party or nice dinner, or with flats and a hat for a day of shopping. Always have one.
Sparkle time
Show off your jewelry while traveling. Don’t be foolish by wearing expensive diamonds that make you a target. But bangles, chunky necklaces, big earrings, and big rings work great while traveling.
What to take in your carry on
If you pack carefully, rolling what you can and tucking shoes along the edges, you can actually take 7-days worth of clothes in your carry on. This is great for a short trip and extremely helpful if your luggage is lost. Here is our suggestions for your carry on bag:
5 shirts (various styles that do not need ironing)
3 shorts or skirts (any mixture)
2 dressy options (take outfits that can be interchanged)
1 outerwear (lightweight navy blazer or cardigan)
Sneakers
Dressy shoes
Flip-flops or sandals
1 hat
2 swim suits
1 cover up
Pyjamas
Socks
Underwear
Accessories
Tips:
Place swim suits, underwear, socks, and accessories in a plastic bag so they will pass through security at the airport without further inspection.
Keep dressy outfits on the hangers and in the plastic from the cleaners, it helps them resist wrinkles.
Tuck socks and small items into shoes.
Remember, you can take 3.4 ounces of lotions and creams on the plane. Put one bottle of face and hand cream, and one bottle of sunscreen in your handbag or carry on. You should be able to get other items from the hotel.
Personal Grooming Attention
Have your hair styled in a low maintenance manner. Have freshly trimmed eyebrows, facial hair, and nails. Take a day to be pampered before your trip. Consider a manicure and pedicure for a classy look.
Freshly ironed clothes
Hotels have irons to freshen your clothes. They may have a laundry service. Spend a few dollars to have your clothes sent for fresh starch and ironing.
Bag and Shoes
People of wealth always wear quality bags and shoes. You cannot go wrong with leather. This is a good investment as leather lasts for years. Don’t spend your money on items that are covered in brands and labels. Rich people do not use their items as a way of advertising for a company.
Conclusion
With these basic tips and a little planning, you can look great during your travels. It is almost like taking along a personal assistant. Your goal is to always look like a millionaire in your travels. Follow these tips and you will accomplish your goal easily
