Merrell’s Top Holiday Packing Tips
Vacations are just around the corner – after what feels like a long couple of years of cancelled plans and cancelled trips – weekend breaks and extended holidays are back. What it also means, is making sure you can still pack as efficiently as you did before.
How do you streamline that packing process without the stress of having oversized luggage when you get to the airport? Our team have put together our guide on how to pack for that upcoming break.
A perfect addition to your luggage for exploring small cities, is our Trailhead 15L backpack. It has plenty of pockets and compartments for keeping your belongings safe when you’re out and about.
9. Pack transitional items –
Long shirts that can be worn as dresses and sneakers that can double up as all day shoes are a winner in our books. Our Women’s Cloud Moc Vent casual sneaker makes an ideal day to dinner shoe for city breaks.
10. Take a capsule wardrobe (if you can)
Pick 5-6 key items that can all mix and match. We recommend 3 T-shirts, 1 Pair Of Trousers, Shirt, shorts and a dress. This will keep your packing efficient and your suitcase light. Stay neutral to keep those outfits streamlined – greys, whites and beiges match pretty much any colour – if you like, coordinate with a bright scarf to add a pop of colour.
Our lightweight women’s Tencel Short Sleeved T-shirt comes in a variety of colours and makes for a perfect addition to a capsule wardrobe when out traveling. It folds small, and the Tencel technology means it is resistant to creases, so it’s great for throwing on during travels.
11. Wear in your shoes.
It’s important to wear in your holiday hiking shoes as soon as you can. Don’t wait to wear them until your trip or you may find yourself with shoes that rub, and even some blisters. Wear them around the house with thick socks before you go.
One of our comfiest shoes yet, the MQM Flex 2 combines both a trail runner and hiking shoe for maximum cushioning and comfort.
Whatever you are planning for your holiday, we hope you find packing a breeze. Shop our wide range of mens hiking shoes and womens hiking shoes and stay comfy this summer.
