Your ultimate summer vacation: tips for clothing, protection and packing

Summer is finally here! The days are getting longer, the temperatures are rising, and the holiday season is beginning. There is hardly anything better than escaping everyday life and relaxing on sunny beaches or idyllic holiday resorts. But before your trip can begin, there are a few things to consider - from the right clothing to UV protection to packing your suitcase. Here are some valuable tips to help you enjoy your summer holiday to the fullest.

The perfect summer wardrobe

When it comes to summer clothing, lightness is the key word. You want to feel comfortable and look stylish at the same time. Here are some must-haves for your summer wardrobe:

1. Bikini: A well-fitting bikini is a must for every visit to the beach. Choose a model that flatters your figure and in which you feel confident.
2. Beach towel - Pareo: A pareo can be used in many ways - whether as a beach towel, skirt or even as a scarf for cool evenings.
3. Summer dress: Light, airy dresses are ideal for hot days. They are comfortable and easy to put on and take off.
4. Summer skirt: An airy skirt can be combined with different tops and offers a welcome change.
5. T-shirt: A few well-fitting T-shirts are a must. They are versatile and easy to combine.
6. Makeup travel bag or accessories: Practical and stylish makeup bags help you keep your beauty essentials organized.

Protection against UV radiation

An often underestimated but very important aspect of summer is protection from the sun. UV radiation can cause significant damage to your skin, so you should take some measures:

• Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (at least SPF 30) regularly. Don't forget to put it on your ears, neck and feet.
• Hat: A wide-brimmed hat protects your face, ears and neck from direct sunlight.
• Sunglasses: Invest in a good pair of sunglasses with UV protection to protect your eyes.
• Lightweight, long-sleeved clothing: Even when it's hot, lightweight, long-sleeved clothing can provide additional protection.

Packing list for your vacation

To ensure you don't forget anything important, a well-thought-out packing list is essential. Here are some things that should definitely not be missing:

1. Documents: Passport, identity card, driving license, insurance cards and copies of important documents.
2. Money and cards: Cash, credit and debit cards, and possibly an emergency number for card blocking.
3. Electronics: cell phone, chargers, power bank, camera and possibly an adapter for foreign sockets.
4. Medicines: Personal medications, bandages, painkillers and insect repellent.
5. Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, comb, deodorant and shaving kit.
6. Sun protection: sunscreen, after-sun lotion, hat and sunglasses.
7. Clothing: Bikini, pareo, summer dress, summer skirt, T-shirts, shorts, underwear, pajamas, socks and possibly a sweater for cool evenings.
8. Shoes: Comfortable sandals, flip-flops for the beach and maybe a pair of sneakers for longer walks.
9. Accessories: beach bag, water bottle, books or e-reader and a small first aid kit.
10. Make-up and care products: Make-up travel bag with the most important beauty products and accessories.

Conclusion

A well-planned vacation starts with the right preparation. With a well-thought-out packing list and the right summer wardrobe, you can start your vacation relaxed and enjoy the sunny days to the fullest. Don't forget the important UV protection to protect your skin and stay healthy.
