The holiday you booked an eternity ago is creeping up and is only just around the corner. Despite this, many men are naturally very laid back about their packing list and are often very happy to leave packing until the last minute.
However, with a little consideration, packing need not be something that stresses you or your family out and can be completed in a straightforward and simple manner. A little planning can make the difference between turning up to your destination only to realise you have forgotten your swimshorts, or having to pack everything in your wardrobe in that final rush before dashing to the airport.
Here we outline some of the holiday essentials to ensure that your packing time is kept to a minimum and your holiday enjoyment is set to maximum.
The essentials you can't leave the country without
Your passport, wallet and travel documents are an absolute essential and should always be kept somewhere safe. Investing in a travel wallet, or hold luggage bag with specific compartments to keep these documents together in a secure place can be crucial in avoiding any airport panics.
Another obvious essential is swimshorts. In particular the famed ‘boardie' shorts are versatile enough to take you from the beach to the pool, in particular, look out for shorts that boast quick drying material - particularly if you are the type of man who will only pack one pair.
When heading to the beach there are a few other essential items that deserve their place in your suitcase. The blinding rays of the sun mean that sunglasses with an adequate UV protection are an absolute essential. With a diverse range available on the market today, there is bound to be a style to suit each and every face shape.
Additionally, hats can be a great way of providing further protection to the delicate face area as well as helping to keep the body cool in extreme temperatures. Once again, there are a huge range of styles available, with straw hats perhaps the most en vogue at the moment.
The key to packing light is choosing a few key essentials that can be mixed and matched with other items. As a result, pack a few cotton t-shirts that can go with swimming trunks, trousers and shorts. In particular, cool tones of blues, grey and white can be a great way of keeping the body cool.
Evening attire
When it comes to the evening, there can be nothing worse than having to put on heavy jeans and shirts in the humid temperatures. Instead, look for light materials such as linen, which can look smart but also offers the benefits of being light and airy and are ideal for the summer weather. Cotton is also a great material for keeping the body cooler, so 100% cotton shirts can be an ideal alternative.
Don't forget the suncream
Keep the washbag to a minimum by packing a versatile eau de toilette that can be worn during the day and the evening. However, at the very least make sure there is enough space for an adequate sun lotion and after sun to ensure your skin is protected against the harsh rays of the sun.
Packing for a beach holiday need not be time consuming or a dreaded task - simply thinking about the absolute essentials and any added extras can ensure you pack lightly without compromising.
