Packing 101 - The Basic Travel Clothing

Black Girl Travelers know packing right is packing lite!

Clothing is probably the toughest for anyone who wants to learn how to travel lite. The two biggest tips to packing the right clothings, is to color coordinate, and to layer for a versatile look.

Coordinating Colors
Remember the old "Garanimals" children's clothing where you matched tags to match your outfits? Make sure every single item you take matches with each other. This means you'll probably have to stick with neutrals--tans, greys, blacks, with some white or accent colors thrown in.

Layering is key!
You can dress stylish for a month with just the following items. You can change your look with just a simple scarf or accessories. Pearls are great for day or night.

Blazer or lite stylish jacket
LBD ( Little Black Dress )
Silk evening/party dress
Dress shirt or top
Long-sleeve casual shirt
White tee shirt or Tank top (easy to wash and dry over night)
Black pants
Pencil or A Line skirt
Dark well fitted jeans
Fashion scarf
A few great accessories that can dress-up or down an outfit
One hangbag (for day & night)
One pair of neutral colored pumps (for day & night)
Wedge shoes (for tours & casual nights out)
