This issue of 'Fashion Column' features lightweight and portable companions, with new materials and designs for clothing, bags, and shoes, making travel more comfortable and stylish.

        The Teacher's Day holiday has just passed at the end of September, followed by the Mid Autumn Festival, Double Tenth, and Liberation Day holidays in October. There are strategies for planning a trip, and of course, there should also be countermeasures for packing personal belongings. It is recommended to master the following principles:

        Single item multi-purpose: lip and cheek dual-use cream, shirt that can be worn alone or as a cover up, double-sided styling hat, etc., are all clever ways to reduce luggage space but increase styling. With a pair of sandals, it can be worn indoors or paired with colored socks when going out, and you can cleverly stay at the forefront of the trend.

        Choose a new material for the jacket: Carefully choose windproof, water-resistant, technological materials, and a storable hooded jacket that is small in size, easy to carry, and can easily adapt to various climates. It is recommended to choose versatile and textured earth colors, Morandi color schemes, or vibrant color combinations that are also very pleasing.

        Choosing luggage requires knowledge: lightweight and durable, equipped with universal wheels, TSA customs locks, and a travel suitcase with multiple compartments for storage is absolutely necessary; We recommend a functional waterproof backpack that can free up your hands. If necessary, carry the backpack in front to ensure safety. In addition, make good use of travel storage bags to categorize them, keep them clean and tidy, and move them quickly.
