Planning Your Travel Outfits

By

Planning the right outfits can literally make or break your trip. If you’re anything like me, you probably put off packing until the last minute, but think about for weeks. My trick to getting over the packing procrastination is outfit planning, and agile agenda planning. By agile agenda, I mean I plan a list of Alf the things I want to do. These are my goals. But I don’t assign them to a specific day for each thing. This way I can be more in the moment and live according to real life conditions like weather, how I feel in the moment, and meeting new people. Once I know what I want to do, I can plan my outfits for each thing. For example, on my last trips to Portugal, I know I was going to do a few key things. Going to Lagos, a beach town in the Algarve, going to Lisbon and touring the Palacio do Pena, and going to Porto to explore the historical center. (This is an abbreviation of my actual plans, to illustrate my point.) The beach, the palace, and the city centers all have different vibes, colors, and appropriateness levels that I considered while planning what to wear. I needed to put to together some versatile outfits quickly and within a budget. So I went to the Express Factory Outlet. Open this post for an exclusive promo code.

Streetwear Look 036 South Beach

By

Took my bike out for a spin around the beach path and stopped here to check out the views of the cruise ships. Today I felt like mixing some greens and blues to match the ocean hues. Adding some natural color is a great way of brightening up your daytime outfit. These slim flat front stretch shorts are perfect to wear on a casual bike ride or walking around town. They’re comfortable to move in while keeping you in a smart causal dress code. I paired the shorts with this flamingo print short sleeve button down shirt. Being able to pop open a few buttons is a great style technique for keeping cool on a hot sunny day in Miami Beach.

What to Wear to Work on Friday This Fall

By

Friday’s call for a casual dress code at pretty much everyone’s office. That doesn’t mean you should dress as if it’s your day off. Today I had some meetings in Boston. I styled this smart casual menswear look with some new gear I picked up from Express. I swapped my button down shirt for this textured, long sleeve knit, and dress pants for these soft, cotton, slim fit jeans. These jeans and knit shirt fit as comfortable as sweatpants and a hoodie, while feeling on point and styled for work. This brown, suede moto jacket is doing the trick to keep me warm. I’m impressed with the cut and quality of this piece to its price point. I’m going to have to fly back up for a another meeting next week, just so I can wear it again.
