Pool: If you’re going to be spending most of your time working on your tan by the resort’s pool, you’re going to want to be sure to protect yourself. Aside from a swimsuit, bring a sunhat that covers your face, sunglasses, and a high SPF that will prevent you from burning. If you have extra sensitive skin, a swimsuit cover-up or a rash guard can offer additional protection. If you do burn easily, having aloe vera on hand will help save you from some serious pain.
Nightlife: Seeing another city’s nightlife scene is one of the most exciting parts of a vacation. Going out on the town means getting to dress up a bit. For women, a dress is always a great option though you can always stick to a good pair of jeans, a loose blouse, and a pair of wedges. Men should wear a nice darker pair of denim, a classic button-up shirt, and loafers.
Sightseeing: I love spending my days exploring a new city. When sightseeing, especially in big cities like Paris, Rome, or San Francisco, you’re going to spend most of your time on your feet which means the most important thing to pack is comfortable shoes. I typically prefer sneakers that I’ve already broken in that I know will keep me going for miles and miles. You’ll also want to be equipped with layers, plenty of sunscreen, and a neck wallet or purse that pickpocketers can’t get into
Snow Sports: When going skiing or snowboarding, you don’t want to have to worry about the weather which means wearing the appropriate layers is important. Start with a base layer and add on either a snow bib or ski pants, a thick winter coat, gloves, a helmet, and goggles. And while it may seem trivial, SPF is extremely important when on the slopes.
