Vital accessories to pack for a summer holiday

  • June 22, 2015
  • admin

When you are preparing to go on a summer holiday, there are a number of things that you’ll need to remember to take with you.  From sunscreen and sunglasses to protect your eyes and skin, to swimwear and sandals for comfortable clothing, keep reading for a list of the top accessories you need to pack for your next trip away.

Sunscreen

The most important thing that you do not want to be caught without during the summertime is sunscreen. It can help you protect your skin and avoid sunburn. Make sure to buy a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.  If you have fair skin or are travelling with children, you’ll want to pack a stronger make.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. The last thing you want to do is be far from home, realise that you have forgotten your designer Ray Bans, and have to purchase another pair. In fact, it may be a good idea to wear your favourite glasses out the door to be 100% sure that you have them.

Lip Treatment

If you’re a male you want to make sure that you have some Carmex or zinc cream packed in your bag and if you are a female make sure you have lip gloss or lipstick. Your lips can still become chapped in the summertime just as they can during winter. There’s a reason why you always see sports stars like cricketers wearing it when they are outside all day.

Floppy Hat

Hats are another way to protect yourself from the sun. We recommend packing a floppy hat as it provides more coverage than the standard hat does. You can go with a designer one or you can swing by your local store to pick one up on your way to your destination. If you plan to soak up some sun on the beach, this item is vital for your holiday.

Swim Wear

More than likely, you are going on holiday to spend some time in some sort of water. You may be going to a water park, beach, or have a resort with a magnificent pool. Regardless of your destination, it is always best to make sure that you have swimwear just in case. Ladies, you know that finding the perfect swimsuit is not easy, so never leave your favourite one behind at home.

Sandals

While traveling, you may not feel comfortable wearing sandals. However, once you have arrived at your destination you are going to want to wear some comfortable shoes that allow you to take them on and off easily, as needed. Sandals are the perfect solution for this. You could go with some affordable flip-flops or you could throw in your favourite designer sandals that look good with any outfit that you decide to wear.

Overall, when preparing to go on holiday you want to make sure that you have packed the things we have featured. Not only will they protect you from the sun, you will also save yourself money by not having to repurchase the items once you have arrived at your destination.
