Make your business travel work for you.
Feuilletons 17 February 2017 Krzysztof Sadecki
On a business trip: 7am flight, 11am – conference, 6pm dinner with a client. Does this sound familiar? You can make an impression only once, and this will decide if and how you’re going to be remembered, and perhaps your table neighbor is key to advancing in your career? If you get ready for it, a business trip can turn out to be an effortless and exciting journey.
Pack for plans.
Prepare your outfits according to your travel activities. Pick versatile items of clothing and don’t forget about the weather – pack for the climate you’re going to, not where you’re travelling from. Air conditioning, trains, and airports – layer it up, you never know what’s coming.
Less is more.
Stick to colors and patterns that you can easily mix and match. If a suit is your staple, be sure to pack a few shirts and tops, and change the style from desk to dinner. Make the most of accessories too; they express your personality and increase the number of outfit options. They could even vamp up your suit by adding a touch of evening glamour.
Discover the new generation of business wear. Check out the new business fashion brand – ENNBOW. Their clothes are an absolute delight; an energy boost for women whose lifestyle requires flexibility, mobility and presence. Inspired by clothing for athletes, ENNBOW garments are unbelievably comfortable, thermoactive and don’t require ironing.
Take shoes that were made for walking.
Sore feet can take your focus away, so bring your ballerinas along with your high-heels. Do you like running? – pick your trainers as your travel flats. If you’re flying, take a pair of warm socks on board – they can make a hell of a difference.
Your luggage is worth more than a thousand words.
A leather folio looks professional and keeps everything you need—phone, iPad, noise cancelling headphones, business cards, boarding pass—all close at hand. Invest in a quality travel case – it says a lot about you, and will keep your wardrobe organized and fresh.
Enjoy it and smile!
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
