Travel clothing is clothing appropriate for traveling — often lightweight, wrinkle free, quick dry and comfortable. Plan outfits by location and by the purpose of the trip: a business trip requires a different wardrobe than a vacation, and business travel still calls for business attire front and center, even though convenience and comfort count. Some clothing overlaps between work and leisure — gym clothes, pack-and-go jackets, quick-dry stretch pants and bathing suits cover the free hours.

If the resort is in a warm climate they most likely have a pool or possibly are located with beach front property.
