When it comes to fashionable traveling clothes, most peoples’ advice is to pack light, but packing light isn’t always easy when you want to dress nicely. It usually involves some battle over clothing that’s functional and great for site-seeing versus clothing that’s fashionable and so perfect for dinners, going out, and you know, looking pretty. Luckily for us, these travel bloggers who travel frequently are a pro at packing both functional and fashionable clothes. Check out what clothing for travel they never leave home without on their adventures around the world.

Megan of Bobo and Chichi loves her little black travel dress because she can dress it up or down and even wear it plain. She changes up the look of it by adding a kimono, sweater, pantyhose, or layers it with literally just about anything. It’s even versatile when it comes to footwear! She wears her comfortable Vans, sandals, and booties with her little black dress depending on where she is.

Check out these easy to dress up, down, and around little black dresses to pack.

2. Combat Boots

Both Mika of the Seoul Child and I agree that our combat boots are our must-pack fashion item for any trip. They’re comfortable enough to walk around on Europe’s cobblestone streets all day long and are lightweight. On the flip side, they look great with just about anything from dresses to shorts and can easily convert into nighttime bar and club apparel. Depending on how you dress up your boots, you can even wear them to dinner!

Mika is a fan of the Dr. Marten brand while I like these combat boots that have a little pocket for my cash. Style + function + security in One = Ultimate Winner!

3. Colorful Skirt

Diana is a fan of packing a long, colorful skirt especially because of its potential to give a photo the extra pop it needs. Besides how pretty it looks in photos though, long skirts are great for any climate because you can easily change up the top, add a jacket or wear stockings underneath.

Check out all these colorful skirts! They come in various colors.

4. Sarong

Amanda of the Travelling Blizzards uses her sarong as a wrap around her shoulders, a beach cover-up, a scarf, a top, and a dress! In addition, she’s used it before as a beach towel, shower towel, blanket, and dirty clothes wrap. Is there anything that this sarong can’t be used for?

Star of 87 Pages loves using her bright, multi-colored scarf as a head wrap, cover-up at temples, sarong at the beach, statement accessory for Fashion Week, and even as a picnic blanket! Jennifer of Luxe Adventure Traveler finds that the colorful aspect of it jazzes up any monotonous outfit.

Donna of Nomad Women uses her lightweight shawl just like Star and has even used it as a blanket on the airplane and towel in a pinch. She calls it the best of all possible travel accessories.

6. Black Leggings

Candy of the Travel Pockets always brings a simple pair of lightweight black leggings as part of her clothes for travel. She throws it in her carry-on or in her backpack when she’s out exploring in certain places. If she gets wet or spills something, she has her leggings as backup! If she’s wearing a skirt and gets cold, she throws on her leggings for warmth. Even when she’s not traveling, she always has a pair of black leggings in her car just in case. In addition, Billie of Sante Fe Travelers loves that her pair of black leggings are great for hiking but then can get dressed up for dinner.
