The Best Packable Clothing For Your Next Vacation
While getting away for a holiday promises a chance to relax and unwind, unpacking to find a duffle bag of wrinkled items takes away from all of that. And let’s face it, no one wants to have to whip out an iron or a clothing steamer when all you want to do is enjoy your peace and quiet.
The good news is that there are many great packable and wrinkle-free clothing options to choose from, and not all of them have to be knits. There are wrinkle-resistant items that range from casual to dressy and shoes that are comfortable and foldable. To keep things simple, you can opt to stick with neutral tones or clothes that are in the same color family so that there is less to pack or more options available to you.
So if you are in the market for easy-to-pack items, here are some wrinkle-free travel clothing items to take on your next trip.
1. Cariuma IBI Slip-on
Cariuma IBI slip-on shoes are the perfect go-to travel sneaker for your trip. They are great for getting through TSA as no unlacing and lacing up is required.
