Jet-Set in Style
Not sure what travel accessories to pack for your upcoming vacation? Whether you’re visiting a beachy European coastline or a dazzling Asian city, you’re going to need these travel essentials for men. Let’s find out more.
The Best Travel Essentials for Men
Travel Shaver
Vacation days are like normal days in some ways - specifically when it comes to Bodmin. You may want to take even more care of your appearance than normal. That’s where a travel razor comes in handy. Travel shavers are easy to find in the shops, and packing one with batteries is even better because there won’t be as many charging wires taking up space in your suitcase.
Shoulder Bag
When you’re on vacation, there might be a few extra items to carry around with you than on a normal day back home. You may need sunscreen and mosquito repellent or simply wish to take a good book with you to the beach. A small shoulder travel bag is the perfect accessory for this, being not only practical but fashionable too.
Phone Holder
Taking a mobile holder onto your flight with you might be the last thought on your mind, but it’s a really useful gadget worth the investment. Especially during long-haul flights, you’ll strain your neck looking down at your phone or cause your arm to ache, holding it up to eye level. With a specially designed phone holder, you’ll be able to keep your favorite movie or season at eye level without the trouble of straining.
Bluetooth Speaker
Nothing quite beats that moment when you first arrive at your hotel room, Airbnb or hostel. To improve on this already-special moment, it’s great to put on some music as you explore your new home. Whether you’re playing the top songs of your destination country or just some of your favorites, a small Bluetooth speaker fits the bill.
Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are a neat new invention that enables you to pack more of what you love, like tropical shirts and books. By using packing cubes, you’ll store more in your suitcase. Just remember not to go over your baggage allowance limit before arriving at the airport!
Headphones
There are a few moments when headphones come into their own, many of which happen during a vacation. Whether sitting on the plane looking excitedly out of the window at the new city below or strolling the streets of a glittery town after dark, headphones provide you with your very own soundtrack. Pack them to ensure you don’t miss out on those moments when you can feel like you’re in your very own movie.
Power Bank
Don’t come unstuck in an unfamiliar new place with a dead phone and no way home. Portable power banks are a useful travel essential for men, enabling you to charge on the go - even when you don’t have access to electricity. Power banks are usually designed to fit in jacket pockets, meaning that they’re easy to carry around when you’re out for dinner or chilling by the coast.
Toiletry Bag
Avoid your toiletries from spilling onto your swimming trunks and evening shirts by packing a toiletry bag. They’re ideal for storing toothpaste, hair gel and more. And don’t forget - many airlines require toiletry bags to be clear.
Passport Cover
A passport cover is the best way to store credit cards alongside your passport itself, keeping everything you might need together in one place. Remember to add your passport to your travel packing list, too, and not just the cover.
Water Bottle
Ditch plastic by purchasing a reusable water bottle. Available in different sizes and colors, these eco-friendly products are as fashionable as they are practical. Plus, you’ll save money at the airport by not buying plastic water bottles.
Aftershave
Don’t be that person who gets ready for a night in your new vacation town only to discover that you forgot to pack your aftershave. Buy a miniature bottle before you jet off to make sure you’re always smelling your best.
Umbrella
Some things in life can be pretty unreliable, and one area where that is all too real is the weather. Even hot climates experience heavy rain showers from time to time. Avoid getting caught in the rain by packing an umbrella. It’ll seem silly when you place it in your suitcase - you’ll be thinking “Do I need an umbrella for my beach vacation?” Well, better safe than sorry!
Get packing today, and remember to add all of these essentials to your suitcase.
