Whether you're a well-traveled businessman who spends most of your life in the air or an occasional conference attendee a few miles outside your hometown, we all have an age-old problem. Packing for a two-day business trip is, let's face it, a problem that seems bigger than discovering a new galaxy on the eve of the trip. But we've worked hard, pondered, calculated to come to your aid. Finally, we've come up with the perfect equation for how to last two days with one single suit, from which you can create four perfect outfits.
So, get packing!
Here's your scouting list of what to pack in your suitcase: (We probably don't need to mention shorts.)
1 gray suit
1 white shirt
1 suit colored shirt
1 casual shirt
1 sneakers
1 jeans
Modern smart-casual is not only a great alternative to traveling in style, but also a practical tool for your ideal 48-hour wardrobe.
We don't need to dwell too much on the eternal problem of the packed suit. To avoid a wrinkled suit, keep your jacket on and tailor your outfit to it. Feel free to throw your suit trousers in your suitcase and head to your destination in comfortable beige chinos. To relax on the road, wear a black polo shirt over it. The choice of shoes is completely clear in this case. Loafers that you can quickly put on and take off in case of airport security are a clear and stylish choice.
Outfit 1: Journey
Traveling by train or plane was a social event until the advent of low-cost airlines. Although the days of business travelers in black suits and ties are long gone, don't succumb to today's fashion of traveling in tracksuits. Moreover, if business partners pick you up at the airport, those tracksuits suddenly don't seem like a very wise choice...
Outfit 2: Meeting and work
You've arrived at the hotel, dropped off your luggage, and it's time to head to work. This is where the gray-blue business suit comes into its own. Swap your beige chinos for suit pants, throw on a white shirt, tie, and get to work.
Outfit 3: Business dinner
You're back at the hotel and it's time to get ready for a business dinner. Instead of risking showing up inappropriately dressed in jeans, opt for your business suit again as an alibi. By swapping out your shirt for a patterned one, we guarantee that no one will know you've recycled your outfit. Still stick to the tone of the business shirts, but leave the tie in the room this time.
