Women's Travel Clothes - Ten Pounds Less Dress
Flattering Baby Boomers' Travel Wear Dresses and Clothing Tips
Jul 30, 2009
Peruse these great women’s travel clothes which help gals to look ten pounds less. Try these flattering Baby Boomers’ travel wear dresses along with the other clothing tips.
Clothes for Women - Same Color Head to Toe
To look taller and thinner, wear the same (or similar) color from head to toe. With lighter colors or summer looks, wear flesh-toned shoes or boots so there’s no cutoff at the leg. Avoid anything that chops up the look. Beige sandals, with a wedge, gives one longer legs. Beige heeled boots do the same.
For darker or winter looks, wear dark boots, or dark shoes and tights. No matter what younger stylists say, a mid calf dress lengthens and flatters more women than a mid knee length. Exceptions are usually: Petites and gals with Tina Turner legs.
Travel Dress for Boomers at TravelSmith.com
Why is a travel dress better than jeans or slacks for comfort? Ever eat too much Bavarian Leberknodel Soup or too many Bruges chocolate cherries? Dresses also look more urbane.
Look for these features in a travel dress:
- No waist - wear belt as needed
- Stretch fabric for good fit
- Substantial fabric - enough weight so no bulges show
- Right length - Too short (silly), too long (dowdy on some)
- No zippers - Easy changes, no snagging
- Wrinkle free
- Dark colors - darker reds absorb light
There are many online sites that have caught on to the Baby Boomer travel style, but not all clothes have the right qualities. Shiny jersey shows bulges. Look for matte fabrics like these at TravelSmith.com:
Women’s Wrap Dress in dots or stylized floral:
A good wrap dress, with stretch, will give a better fit than anything else. For head-to-toe color, wear tights or stockings to match the dress and footwear. Add a hat or slouchy beret.
Women’s Twist-Front Cap-Sleeve Dress:
This dress makes pear-shaped women look 10 pounds thinner (dark color) and cap-sleeves balance large hips. Stout, round, and short-necked women are better off with deeper vee-necks when possible.
Travel Clothes - Look Ten Pounds Less at Spiegel.com
Look for clothing without pockets for sleekness. Here are two possibilities, though apple-shaped women should know that Spiegel cuts are long and tight through the tummy.
Signature Sportive Cotton-Knit Scoopneck Dress:
- Nice summer length for Italy or Hawaii
- Check tummy in three-way mirror
Signature Modal Jersey Wrap Dress:
- Very travel worthy if not too sheer (can wear over black shapewear camisole and leggings)
- Creates waist with side gathers
- Beautiful colors - right colors for one's complexion draw eye to face
Make sure the skirt is not tight in rear and the wrap closes enough to sit down. Get a size that skims but doesn’t cling.
Flattering Dresses - Color Blocking at MyShape.com
If the Yoana Baraschi Color-Block Jersey Dress fits, buy it. It’s perfect. (See photo.) A similar look can be achieved with a red jersey dress and a long black cardigan with a tie waist.
Heavy apple-shaped gals should avoid some empire waists which look like maternity-wear.
For Plus Size:
The Igigi Jersey Dress with Loop Tie has a fabulous neckline and color. To make it funky for daytime, wear as a tunic with pants.
Travel Wear - The Territory Ahead
Check out their Three-in-One Dress. The print is a good size and will camouflage bulges and flaws. It’s a perfect dress for Spain though travelers will need a shawl for Cathedrals.
