Here is an inside look at how Candace and Ben conquered this task.

Candace:

“In order to make sure my client was prepared, we spent time going over the itinerary and prioritized the key pieces we wanted to take. This included versatile pants to go from differing climates and dresses that were adaptable. From there I layered in top options and minimal accessories.”

“For trips like this, it’s less about a collection of statement looks, but rather the simplicity of a core look that can be restyled time and time again. As stylists, this is exciting because it affirms our ethos of selecting pieces with intentionality, focus on shape, silhouette, and personal style.”

Ben:

“This is a client I have worked with for the last year so I knew how to reflect his personal style. The exciting challenge was how to pack minimally while also keeping in mind the varying climates they would experience during this trip. I did this by choosing classic pieces that could be layered or worn alone to create a capsule wardrobe. I also noted when pieces could be re-worn due to laundry access. I made sure to include lightweight shoes for excursions and exploration walking trips. Accessories are where I played a bit more, including my client’s favorite elevated accessories for dinners and nights out.”
