How to Dress for a Long Road Trip and Drive in Style

A long drive with your friends or family, solo or with the other half is usually positively memorable. Every pit stop before the destination should hold its own rememberings that are dear to everyone because it is a fun and enlightening experience. 

No matter the destination or location, your outfit choice determines a lot during a road trip. It can affect the mood, enhance comfort, and even make some pitstop decisions. Because road trips go on for hours, you want to dress as comfortably as possible while staying fashionable. Stick to loose-fit clothes and comfortable shoes.

If you're in the UAE, your road trip can be a sightseeing tour from one emirate to another. One amazing feature of traveling in the UAE is the option of renting luxury cars to cruise with. Renting a car gives you both flexibility and an array of vehicle options to choose from. You can plan to rent a Lamborghini  or any other vehicle from a car rental service to enjoy your trip in grand style. 

How to Choose Suitable Clothes for a Road Trip

If you're going to spend long hours on the road, you shouldn’t give up on style. Here is a checklist of questions to consider which will serve as a guide for you when choosing your outfit:

• Is this outfit breathable? Think of the discomfort of sitting in one position in a vehicle for hours, even with regular pit stops. Wearing fabrics that stick to your skin can aggravate the discomfort even more. Instead, choose light fabrics like cotton or linen which can absorb sweat and keep you cool. 

• Can I move freely in this? You want to go for clothes that allow movement easily, so you're not uncomfortable after some hours. Joggers, soft leggings, and clothes with stretch are good examples. 

• Will this help if the weather changes? The weather can be unpredictable, but you can prepare for it. Aside from checking the weather forecast before your trip, you can layer nicely by having a cardigan or lightweight jacket. This allows you to take it off if the weather is hot and still keep warm if it gets cooler. 

• Am I ready for an emergency? It’s better to over-prepare than to under-prepare. You can take an extra pair of clothes with you just in case there's a spill or tear, so you can continue having fun without feeling self-conscious.

Minor Additions to Outfits for Traveling

Some minor details can make or mar the quality of your trip too. Let’s look at some additional considerations for your stylish travel outfit:

Comfortable and Cute Footwear 

You want to maintain your ongoing comfort theme but not at the expense of a gorgeous appearance. Look out for comfy sneakers, loafers, or cushioned loafers. Avoid heels and flip-flops for your trip as they can be dangerous for driving. 

Whether you're driving your own vehicle or one from a car rental company, your footwear still needs to be comfortable, especially for pit stops and when you get to your location. 

Accessories that Serve Double Purposes

Accessories can switch an outfit up from boring to brilliant. However, on a car trip, it is stressful to wear accessories just for fashion. For example, large stacks of heavy necklaces will only be a hindrance. You can lean towards more practical accessories like sunglasses for the UV rays, dainty jewelry, and basic hats for sun protection.

Essential Body Care

Being in a car for a long time can make you forget how you look. You should take enough water for proper hydration on the trip, a brush and deodorant to freshen up after some hours and some facial mist to keep you looking fresh. 

To Sum Up

Road trips are so fun! There's laughter from car jokes, awe at the beautiful scenery, and the feeling of bonding over an adventure together. These memories will last a long time, especially if you're planning to rent a car for convenience. Consider the outfit you'll wear properly so that you look stylish in pictures and feel comfortable on the drive.
