Dress from City Chic
Summer's calling, right? Sun, fun, and new adventures are just around the corner. But the thought of packing? Ugh. Especially if you're a plus-size traveler, it can feel like a monumental task. But trust me, packing light and looking chic is totally doable, no matter your size. Let's dive into how to build a killer summer travel wardrobe that won't break your back (or your suitcase).
Mix & Match Magic: Versatile Pieces & Wrinkle-Free Wonders
The secret? Pieces that can do double (or triple!) duty. And fabrics that don't wrinkle just by looking at them. Think jersey, knit, linen blends, and microfiber. They'll survive the trip looking fresh and can even be quickly hand-washed and dried if needed.
The Maxi Dress: Your Travel BFF: A flowy maxi is a lifesaver. Dress it up with wedges and some sparkly jewelry for dinner, or throw on some sandals and a sunhat for daytime exploring. Darker colors are more versatile, and a wrap dress is always flattering.
Tunics & Leggings: Comfort is Key: Pack a few comfy tunics in different colors and prints, plus a pair or two of leggings or jeggings. Perfect for sightseeing, long travel days, or just chilling at the hotel.
The Statement Skirt: Turn Heads Effortlessly: A knee-length or midi skirt in a fun print or bright color can be dressed up or down. A simple tank top works for daytime, and a cute blouse or kimono elevates it for evening.
Shorts That Actually Fit & Flatter: Find a pair of shorts you love in a comfy fabric like denim or linen. Bermuda shorts or a more tailored style are super flattering.
Layer Up (or Down): A light cardigan, a denim jacket, and a scarf are your layering heroes. They'll keep you warm when the AC is blasting, protect you from the sun, and instantly upgrade a basic outfit.

Underwear That Doesn't Dig: Invest in breathable, comfortable underwear and shapewear that won't pinch or create weird lines. Seamless is your friend.
Happy Feet = Happy Travels: Pack comfy walking shoes and sandals with good support. Blister prevention pads are a lifesaver, seriously.
Swimsuit Season, Stress-Free: Pack a swimsuit that makes you feel amazing. Tankinis, high-waisted bottoms, and swim dresses are all great options. And don't forget a cute cover-up!
Pack Like a Pro:
Roll, Don't Fold: Seriously, it saves space and wrinkles.
Packing Cubes: Your New Best Friend: These little organizers keep your suitcase tidy and help you squeeze in more.
Shoes & Accessories: Less is More: Choose a few versatile shoes and accessories that go with everything.
Wear Your Bulkiest Items: Wear your heaviest shoes, jacket, and jeans on the plane or train.
