Pack smart on a biz trip

by Glynda Alves


Suit

Make a good impression at the meeting in a two-button suit in a neutral colour. Navy or grey are your best options. And to get a more relaxed look, simply un-button, remove your jacket and roll up your sleeves.

White shirt

A white dress shirt will always come in handy. Pair it with your suit pants or even roll up the sleeves and wear it with shorts for a laid back look. If you’re not a fan of white, choose another light colour.

Dress shoes

Black or brown Oxfords are a failsafe option. These shoes will go with any coloured suit or pants. However, make sure you polish them well before your trip.

Dark jeans

A well-fitting pair of dark blue jeans is a must for business travel. Pair it with a crisp white shirt and smart running shoes for a casual Friday look that shows off your laid back but professional style.

A good watch

Men (and women) judge other men by their watch and shoes. A classic gold or stainless steel watch will prove to be a stylish and functional accessory on your trip.

Twin power bank

You’re going to be making a lot of calls. Whether it’s to check on business back home or to fix a up a date, you can talk and charge simultaneously with this twin U4400mAH emergency phone charger. This is an excellent back-up power source; it’s an easy way to charge essential electronic equipment when you’re out and about.
