With summer in full swing, I’m sure you’ve been planning your perfect vacation for months. Whether it's a trip around Pakistan or a journey across the Atlantic, there’s always gonna be a list of essential clothing items you’ll need to pack. Here’s a small guide on what items you should pack with you to maintain your style!

1. Functional Outfits

On those days when you have a planned itinerary, it’s important to pack clothes that have a purpose. Take a workout shirt and leggings on days you’re going hiking, and a short-sleeved shirt on casual sightseeing days. Wear a bag fit for travel, such as this Kate Spade Backpack and Steve Madden Crossbody Bag that we have in stock. To top it off, pack some durable shoes, such as these Clarks Brogues and DKNY Sandals.

2. Dressy Outfits

If you’re going to a different country, it’s a must to bring some fancy clothes with you. You can dance the night away in flared black pants and this River Island Top we have in stock. Along with this, take a pair of Platform Heels a small Satchel with a long strap to keep your belongings with you at all times, even on the dance floor.

3. Comfortable Shoes

Perhaps one of the most important things to pack is the right shoes. With most vacations, there will be a lot of sightseeing, and bringing comfortable shoes will save you from massive body pain by the time you return home. Luckily for you, we have numerous comfortable shoes in stock, such as Gucci Wedges, Clark's Wedge Sandals, Trina Turk Sandals, and Charles & Keith Sandals. Comfortable sandals would look great with dresses and a satchel.

4. Spacious Bags

You can recognize another Pakistani in a different country by the massive amounts of bags they’re always carrying. You’ll definitely run out of arms, so we’d suggest you carry a large tote or shoulder bag to fit everything inside. Try these tote bags by Michael Kors and Guess. Other options are a messenger bag by Michael Kors or a large shoulder bag by Calvin Klein. If you’re feeling extra fancy, pack a Louis Vuitton to carry your essentials in a peak fashionable way. 

5. Versatile Accessories

When it comes to accessories, pack a few essentials that will match every outfit. We’d suggest a few silver items, such as a Swarovski Bracelet for upscale events, or a simple charm bracelet for everyday wear. Bring a silver or gold chain duo so you can easily match it with every outfit. To finish off your packing, grab a silver watch and black sunglasses to stay at the top of your fashion game in any country!

We know how easy it is to overpack, but it's important to stick to essentials and take items that can adapt to most situations. Start packing for your vacation in no time by ordering from Secret Stash to make it memorable!
