What to Wear in USA

Top style tips for USA

For most of America casual is the main dress style – even for dining out.
Jeans are always popular and will serve as a versatile base to your wardrobe. Wear them with cool layers such as a camisoles or t-shirts for the summer, or warmer ones e.g. a long-sleeved shirt and thick sweater in the winter.
In the summer wear plenty of sunscreen (we love the Riemann P20 range for 10 hour protection), sunglasses and a sunhat.
Ensure you bring a versatile travel jacket. We love the SCOTTeVEST travel jacket because it has over 23 pockets, removable sleeves and RFID protection.
Pack light as it's very easy to get clothes laundered.

There really is loads to see and do and most of it is best done on foot, so make sure you take comfy footwear for daytime (for total comfort we love Hotter shoes, and they look great too).
Save your high heels for the evenings.

A few well-chosen pieces of costume jewelry will transform any outfit.
And a pashmina is a versatile piece that will add a bit of ‘glam', keep you warm, or cover your shoulders for modesty.
The leather RedDog BagPod is a really versatile and stylish bag that can be used from day to evening. Wear it over the shoulder or convert it to a clutch, or use it to keep your belongings and travel documents tidy and easy to find.

If you're looking for versatile and stylish casual wear, try the Madda Fella range of shirts, shorts and polos.
For great versatile travel jackets with multiple pockets including RFID security options, we love the SCOTTeVEST range.

Everything's easy to buy, so don't take up valuable packing space with regular cosmetics, medicines, books or the like. Buy them when you arrive.

To use electrical gadgets you may need a travel adapter plug, and also a step up voltage converter if your devices are not designed to work with American voltage (120V).

Avoid paying unexpected baggage fees – use an accurate luggage scale to ensure you keep within the weight allowance. Don't forget to leave room for souvenirs on the way home!
Keep any relevant paperwork and documents such as your passport, copies of reservations for hotels or hostels, and a copy of your travel authorization ready in your hand luggage for easy access when you land.
