How to stay fresh for a good summer look is always a challenge when traveling. A top notch sun screen is a must, and then fabrics that live and breathe, and yet are flattering. For a fresh look for summer, these points can help:

Pack easy-care fabrics and lightweight knits that can be washed and dry easily when in a hotel room. With airline demanding more from consumers when boarding a plane, an easy to carry, and easy to tuck bag under the seat is a must. There are many styles available for color and fabric. The challenge is to pack light, yet still keep the style desired. Pack first the key basics one can’t do without - then carefully look at flexible basics that go everywhere. Those light cottons with spandex are comfortable and pack well. The dress that flows and moves with the frequent airport transportation points, can be a lifesaver in comfort and coolness. The secret to packing light without sacrificing style is to start with flattering, flexible basics that go with everything.

The tiered maxi dress, for example, flows in festive tiers from a simple sleeveless bodice with a drawstring-tied empire waist. The cotton-spandex, ankle-length dress is machine washable.
