One of those things I did because I was “meant to,” usually while also brushing my teeth with one hand, wrangling a child with the other, and rushing to get something, anything, done before bedtime. And like so many of us, there were definitely times when I didn’t do it at all. Skin? I was just happy if I managed to change out of the clothes I’d been wearing since 6am.

Comfort-First Travel Outfits: What to Pack for Family Adventures

Posted on by Emma Reed
*Collaborative Post

Nine times out of ten, the hardest part of leaving for a family adventure isn’t the flight: it’s working out what to wear for it. Sticky fabrics that cling in overheated airport lounges can turn a routine queue into a meltdown, and flight attendants now openly warn passengers to ditch them.
