Welcome to Travel Crush Tuesday!

1. How do you curate the perfect vacation wardrobe?
Creating outfits for each occasion and climate is my favorite thing to do. I usually do in-depth research on the country I'm visiting and what is worn during the season and use that as a guide to plan. I collect inspo from Pinterest and some of my favorite fashion influencers and create albums or fashion mood boards filled with my favorite outfits. Then I look for wardrobe staples and unique pieces from my favorite online stores.
2. What is one piece that is a must-have when packing for a trip?
Definitely boyfriend or mom jeans! They're versatile, comfy, and stylish and can be dressed up or down to match any occasion and season!
3. Which place has the best style? What do you appreciate most about their fashion sense?
Each place I've visited definitely has its own unique style, but for me, I'm most influenced by Asian street fashion. What I appreciate most about it is the diversity and how it encourages you to just be uniquely you. So many different styles and trends intersect that you can just dress to match your identity or mood. You can be your most authentic self!
4. What is one styling technique or fashion trend you've adopted due to your travels?
One styling technique I've adopted is the creation of a capsule wardrobe. One that consists of a few timeless essentials (primarily neutrals) that are interchangeable and can be used to maximize the number of outfits I can create. These items don't need to be expensive. The aim is to be able to create an outfit for almost every occasion from those items.
5. Where can folks find you other than Instagram?
You can find me on Tik Tok @nakifa_travels
