Mr Porter’s guide to travel fashion Singapore - The Best Picks

It’s essential to pack the necessary goods while travelling, and it’s even more important to look fashionable while doing so. However, most of the time, we go overboard with our packing. To solve that problem, we have assembled a guide to travel fashion for men. It can give you a brief idea about travel fashion, along with tips and tricks to stay on top of your fashion game. Whether you are travelling for 3 days or a week, we will make sure that you pack light this time you go on vacation. There are a few travel essentials in clothing that you need to invest in to balance your effortless travel style. If you’re looking to invest in high-end fits and accessories from Mr Porter, read on. 

Heading for a vacation and packing heavy is a big turn-off as it refrains you to stay fresh all while long. Travelling calls for comfortable fits while ditching your regular attire. If you’re going on a holiday to the beach, you would probably want to wear airy and breezy fits as the temperature is generally warmer. If you’re heading to a chilly place and if you are a mountain baby, carry a blazer, jacket and jeans. Let's discuss what are the factors you need to keep in mind while packing your stuff for travelling. 

You must pack according to the weather. Before you pack, check the weather forecast. In case rain is forecasted, an umbrella and a rain jacket are a must. Choose Versatile Clothing, invest in clothes that can be worn in various settings, like a multi-functional blazer or timeless pair of jeans. Doing so will allow you to pack lighter and mix and match your outfits. Don't forget to check out our Mr Porter's selection of gifts for him to find an amazing present for the man in your life. 

  • Go for Neutral Colors: Classic colours such as black, white, grey, and navy are perfect for any season and easy to combine with other pieces. 
  • Layer Your Outfits: Layering not only provides practical benefits while travelling but also adds dimension to your look. Don't forget to pack a lightweight sweater or jacket to layer over your clothes. 
  • Opt for Comfortable Footwear: Select comfortable shoes, such as sneakers or loafers, that can be worn for extended periods. Avoid shoes that are too tight or uncomfortable. 
  • Accessories can make all the difference in elevating your travel look. A nice pair of statement watch and a scarf can turn your dull outfit into a chic vibrant one. 

Now that we have highlighted the key points that are essential for travel fashion, let’s discuss how you can team up the outfits. 

Contrasting plays an important role

If you're travelling, your earthy tones and medium colour range may not work. You will need to stick to dark and light shades, which are iconic colour combinations. You can either wear dark T-shirts and light pants, or dark pants and lighter colour T-shirts for contrast. This way, you can use one pair of jeans for the rest of your trip and team it up with different uppers. 

Team it up with solid colors!

As much as you love going to the beach, your travel calls for one night out too. Giving importance to both, you cannot forget to pack lighter. One casual T-shirt can be worn at the beach, but not to the club. It's vital to have a shirt that can work in both places.

For instance, a plain, bright orange shirt with some accessories can be worn for a night out at the club, and also at the beach with some tailored shorts. You can find these items on Mr Porter's website under the vacation category. Additionally, you can use our Mr Porter promo code to save even more on your shopping. 

Fits for hiking

We cannot forget hiking and trekking when travelling and comfort should be the priority. A comfortable pair of track pants is a must-have to ensure there are no roadblocks during your hike. For instance, these RHUDE club-embroidered track pants, which offer a tapered fit, are ideal for this purpose and are available on Mr Porter. 

As much as your hands will be free, the journey will be serene. Ideally, you can carry a backpack that is both stylish and has a rugged appearance. This Gucci leather and monogrammed backpack are perfect for storing your essentials while travelling.

Appropriate Sneakers

One classic pair of shoes can sum everything up. Going overboard with shoes is not a good idea, as they can add extra weight to your baggage. Packing a single shoe that can go with all your outfits will be a game changer.

For instance, we have assembled two options, these cutesy Gucci sneakers would be perfect for a breezy summer vacation. On the other hand, the Balenciaga shoes are versatile enough to be worn for casual sightseeing, hiking, or a club night.
