Travel is a layering game: pieces that carry you from a plane to a meeting to dinner without a change. In heat, fabric and fit matter more than layering. Go breathable and a little looser; light colours help but fabric helps more. Read the room before you read your wardrobe: the same day can want a sharper or a softer answer depending on who you are seeing, and the middle is usually the safer place to land.
- Wear your bulkiest layer to save bag space.
- Natural fibres and a looser cut beat a lighter colour alone.
- Pick the palette before the pieces. Two neutrals and one accent rarely fails.
