If you love to travel, you know the importance of packing the right set of clothes and other accessories for your trip. Especially if you’re frequently on the go, it becomes all the more necessary for you to plan things out well and stick to a budget. Since it’s important to travel light, you need to ensure that you’ve packed all the essentials to have a great trip and also some style essentials for you to look fabulous in those travel pictures.

Here are eight such style essentials for a budget traveler:

1. Get the denims.

Since you’re continuously on the move and denims are always a great option. You need to pack at least two or more pairs of jeans, depending on the duration of your trip. Instead of going for the usual skin-fit option, it’s better to choose some loose boyfriend jeans or cargo denims with some pockets that are more travel-friendly.

2. Carry basic t-shirts.

As it’s not possible to carry an iron everywhere you go, it’s better to take a couple of wrinkle-free t-shirts along. These soft-knit cotton t-shirts are quite comfortable and great sweat absorbents as well. Apart from being quite comfortable, these are available in packs of two or three and are quite affordable.

3. A pair of comfortable shoes.

Shoes are one of the most important accessories when you’re planning to go for a trip. Since you need to walk for hours together, it’s better to go for flats and sneakers instead of choosing the other available options. After all, your trip is all about walking and seeing new places; you need to have the right set of shoes.

4. Some cardigans and cover-ups.

When you hit the road, don’t ever ignore the need to carry a few cardigans and cover-ups for your trip. In case, your hotel sheets are not clean enough, or the AC in the bus is broken, you can always use your cardigan to save you from some crazy cold air that can make you fall sick. Now you don’t want to catch a cold on your trip, do you?

5. A watch and some jewelry.

A wrist watch is quite an essential accessory when it comes to packing for a trip. Choose one of the slightly cheaper ones, so that in the worst case, if you happen to lose it, you don’t lose a lot of money. A watch with a rubber wrist is better than a steel or leather wrist. To up your glamour quotient, you could carry a couple of basic jewelry; that’s light and inexpensive.

6. A pair of sunglasses.

Sunglasses are quite an essential accessory that you must always carry before leaving for a trip. Depending on the shape of your face, choose a frame that suits you the best and don’t forget to take it along. Apart from adding to your looks, it also helps save you from the harmful rays of the sun, preventing unwanted tanning and sunburns.

7. A pair of black leggings.

Apart from their quality of matching with any pattern and color, black leggings are way too comfortable to wear. Their elastic nature makes them highly comfortable and stretchable and hence one of the best dressing options while traveling.

8. Maxi dresses and skirts.

If you’re traveling to a hot area, you can’t possibly wear jeans all the time. That’s when maxi dresses and maxi skirts act as your saviors. Apart from adding to your glam quotient, these dresses are highly comfortable to wear and hence help you stay fresh and free in the heat.
