if you're going on a cruise in the near future, you are probably already getting excited about your upcoming adventure. In addition, you are more than likely also planning the items of clothing you'll take with you. If you've been on a cruise before, you already know that your storage space won't be huge. If you haven't traveled by cruise ship in the past, be prepared for the fact that your stateroom will have pretty limited storage space.
From packing color-coordinated outfits to taking accessories like clutch bags, here are some ideas that might help you to select the best wardrobe items for your cruise.
Color-Coordinated Outfits
Do you have a favorite basic color? For example, do you like navy blue or black? Perhaps you prefer a lighter color like khaki. Decide on one color for your basic wardrobe items and then work around that for the clothing you'll wear with it. For instance, if you select black or navy, colors like red, white, and yellow would all go with both black or navy.
Think of how you can mix things up. For example, maybe you are taking a great pair of black slacks on the cruise. During the day, say for your excursions, wear the slacks with a yellow cami and a matching cardigan sweater. The sweater can be tied around your waist if you get too warm. That same pair of slacks can be worn for an elegant dinner when you pair it with a white tunic and the right jewelry.
The Best Accessories
Think of how you can use the same accessories for different purposes. For example, if you pack a bag like a Chanel clutch bag, select one that has the option of pulling up straps so that you can wear it as a cross-body purse. For fun daytime use, tie a colorful scarf around the bottom part of the strap. That will certainly add interest to your outfit for the day, won't it?
The very same clutch bag can be worn with your elegant outfit. This time, consider adding a rhinestone clip-on pin, just to add pizzazz to the clutch bag. Think of basics you'll need to place in your clutch bag. For example, when you carry it for daytime excursions, you might want to pack a small bottle of hand sanitizer. No matter when you carry the clutch bag, think of carrying an ID card, a comb, and a lipstick in the clutch bag. Packing a credit card along with some cash would be a good idea, too.
