5-Day Semi-Casual Work Trip Outfit Guide

Packing for a work trip usually causes a tiny bit of anxiety, at least for me anyway. Traveling for work can stressful enough (depending on the trip) , adding the pressure of trying to look cute too is simply exhausting. This style guide is meant to be used as a tool to help ease the hassle of packing.

My inspiration for this guide was based off of my experience working events. My selections work very well for semi-casual settings and tend to focus on the necessities for show and event production.

For a 5 day trip , I recommend the following:

• 2 pairs of pants (Try to choose pants that can be dressed both up or down.)

• 6 blouses (Can be worn with both pants - this gives you more outfit options!)

• 3 shoes (One should be comfortable , one that can be dressed up or down, and a pair of heels of course)

• 1 Jacket (Denim , leather , or a bomber is always a good choice)

• 1 Dress (Should be able to be worn to a meeting or dinner)

• 1 Purse (Solid color)

• 1 Watch (Solid Color)

• 1 Belt (Black or Brown is your best bet)

• 2 Necklaces / bracelets ( Should be versatile)

Tips for my peeps in event and show production:

- A belt bag is a must for carrying pens, sharpies , scissors, box cutters , post-its , and your phones.

- Get a watch , especially a smart / fitness watch, to count down the hours until you get reasonable sleep.

-You need a backpack that your laptop can fit in since you'll be carrying it everywhere with you...kind of like a new born child.
