Clothes were never something I cared much about, I’d throw on jeans and a t.shirt for pretty much any occasion. My style when travelling usually leaves a lot to be desired for because I never plan my outfits and end up with a bunch of patterned trousers and striped t.shirt as I’ve discussed previously. However, these days my fashion sense is getting better (well at least I’d like to think so anyway). I still don’t spend a fortune on clothes, I mean flights are way more important, but I do spend a little more than before making sure I have a few good outfits in my wardrobe. Having just arrived back from Venice, where you basically have to look stylish, I thought I’d share with you what I wore.

The Stylish Adventurer Look

During late spring Venice can be pretty warm in the day so I opted for a longish pleated skirt. I paired this skirt with two different blouses, one that covered my shoulders and the other a one shoulder affair. There are a few places in Venice that request you to have your shoulders and knees covered so I had to make sure I had an outfit that did both of those things. I find white is a great colour for city exploring too as it keeps you quite cool and it works pretty well with the red skirt.

The Evening Out Look

I find it much harder to put an evening look together than a day time look. I’ve never been one to dress up too much and when travelling with hand luggage there isn’t always space for evening and day-time outfits. Thankfully I managed to squeeze one evening outfit into my case! I’ve never been a huge dress fan but my do I love a good jumpsuit. I picked this one up in H&M last month and I could not love it more. On normal people it would probably be a 3/4 length leg but on me it is more of a full leg length size. However, the wide leg makes this perfect for those warm Italian evenings. If you get cold then the perfect cover up would be a leather jacket. I forgot my jewellery on this trip but a necklace would complete the look.

The Casual Travel Day Outfit

During my travel days to and from a new destination I always have to wear something comfy and lightweight. I find airports and planes can either be freezing cold or boiling hot or normally both, in the space of an hour. A version of these patterned cotton pants have been a staple of mine for a long time, equally has a leather jacket. I’d be the first to admit I play it safe on travel days and wear a tested outfit.
