My EXTREME Light Weight Business Travel Wardrobe [0:00:00]
[Music] I can fit everything I need for one week in
this bag and still look good and I'm going to share with you guys how to do it. But,
before we get into that, I want to let you guys know I'm having three meet-ups in the
next three months around the world and you're invited.
First up, August 24th here in less than a week Dallas, Texas. Now, I'm in town for a
conference and I've got some other large influencers that will be present there with me, so if
you're anywhere close, I would love to see you.
Now, how to RSVP? Guys, I've got links down in the description. Now, you're going to have
to pay $5 to RSVP. I will pay you back or I'll buy you a drink. The point is I want
to get accurate numbers. So, if you can make it, please let me know.
Now, next up, September 24th, Mauritius. Yes, over off the coast of Madagascar off the coast
of Africa. I am going to be out in the Indian Ocean, but I want to meet you guys up. So,
there's over a million people in Mauritius, how many people can we get to the meet-up?
Well, I'm limiting these meet-ups to like 25 people, so go if you are in Mauritius.
And, finally, we've got October 17th in Los Angeles California. Guys, I would love to
see if you're anywhere close try to make it out. And by the way, we're going to have some
other sizable influencers out there, so it's not just going to be me. Again, to RSVP, click
on the link down in the description. I've got it clearly marked, so you can go over
there and let me know that you can make it. All right. So, with that out of the way, guys,
let's dive into what's in my ultra lightweight travel wardrobe.
So, first off the bag. This is made by Carl Friedrik, I've talked about them before. They're
not the sponsor of this video, I just simply love this bag. This is a great-looking functional
just well-made travel bag. If I'm going for more than two days, I'm going to want to workout.
For me, the easiest workout I can do anywhere in the world is to go for a run.
Right here, I've got some Asics, but I'm really a big fan of Brooks, their Adrenaline. So,
those are my usually my go-to running shoes those are my backups. And then, I go with
a simple pair of shorts and a shirt. Now, these shorts right here they can double as
swim trunks. So, let's talk about underwear. When I travel,
I take a pair of underwear for every day I'm traveling up to day four. If I know I'm going
to be traveling for say seven days, I'll take four pairs and, yes, after I wear that first
pair I'm just simply going to jump in the shower with my underwear then take it off
and I'm going to wash it right there and then hang it out to dry.
So, when it comes to socks. I don't follow the underwear rule, although if I'm traveling
for more than seven days, I will actually look for a laundry. So, I don't usually take
more than seven total pairs, but I look to mix and match with no-show and then with ankle
length socks. So, I usually like to go for a performance
sock. There's a company I've worked with called Feetures. I really like them because they
look like dress socks and they come in a wide variety of colors. But, what I really like
about them is they're designed actually to be also athletic socks, so I can use these
when I go running if I so choose. And, during the summer during the warmer time of the year,
I wear a lot of no-show socks. I find these are very small lightweight and I love actually
just the way that they look and they keep me cool.
And now, let's talk undershirts. So, it depends how many times I need to dress up how many
times I need to wear a jacket a long-sleeve shirt, I will take an undershirt for every
time I expect I need to dress up up to about three undershirts. I use these really lightweight
ones from RibbedTee, absolutely love that company. And these dry very quickly and, yeah,
when it comes to undershirts kind of treat it like underwear.
Next up, let's talk about trousers. And let me start this off by saying I don't travel
with jeans anymore. I used to I liked jeans, but I have found performance pants have really
surpassed anything out there. And when it comes down to a look, actually it's a little
bit dressier and comfort you really can't beat performance pants.
My initial to travel trousers are going to be a light gray and a dark charcoal gray.
Why would I just go with two boring colors like that? Because your trousers should be
simply like a canvas. It allows me to wear almost any color shirt because gray is a non-color
and match it with a wide variety of jackets. Same thing actually for my shorts. So, if
I'm going to a place that's a little bit more tropical, yes, I will take and I will wear
shorts. Gray shorts like this, again, going to go pretty much with any shirt that I bring.
Now, I will occasionally spice it up with going with a simple khaki. Yes, I know not
much of a spice up there, but I will admit if I go for a third pair of trousers I'm traveling
for a while, I'll bring in a dark green. This is not going to match everything in my wardrobe,
again, made by Lululemon. And my go-to shirts when I'm traveling, performance
polos. Now, notice the colors here. I've got a light blue, I've got a white, we have a
dark navy. Guys, I love dark navy, but the point is all of these are going to go with
the trousers and shorts that I just showed you, so again I focus in on the interchangeability
of my wardrobe. Gents, I've talked about the power of the
interchangeable wardrobe before, I'll link to that in the description of today's video.
But, remember, if you've got clothing that's interchangeable, all of a sudden you're able
to get more outfits from less clothing. And, what about long sleeve shirts? Of course,
I always take a long-sleeve white. What I like about this is you can dress it up, you
can dress it down, I can roll the sleeves. Made from the performance material, I'm not
going to have to worry about any ironing. Now, I will take occasionally a linen, I will
take occasionally a cotton especially if I'm going to be traveling for more than three
to four days. But, the issue there is that you've got to take the time to iron and press
the clothing. [0:05:06]
A couple other things you're going to see me pack in my bag. I'm going to take some
sunglasses, so when I get off the plane. And I'm going to take a travel hat especially
if I know it's going to be hot if the sun's going to be on top of me. What I like about
this hat is I can just fold it up and put it right in there on the top of my bag.
And, what about entertainment? I always like to have a book with me one I can start at
any point one that I don't have to turn off whenever the planes about to fly off. Right
here, we've got Manvotionals is great book by my friend, Brett McKay. And, I always have
my Bluetooth headset because I'm not really a big fan of -- I love music, but I don't
actually have any music on my phone, what I do have tons of audiobooks. I've talked
about this before, I absolutely love Audible always trying to get a little bit smarter.
I know it's difficult for me, but I'm working on it.
And, of course, my Dopp kit, here's a look inside. This is for a typical three-day trip.
As you can see nothing too crazy. Oh! And I almost forgot my comb. I could probably
go with something a little bit smaller, but I did want to stress I like to go for a wide
toothed comb. Now, what about shoes? Well, this is where
you want to keep it really light. If I'm only traveling for a few days, I'm going to go
with one pair. If I'm going to be wearing my suit more often, then I want to go for
a pair that I can dress up. If it's going to be more of a casual trip, then I'll go
with a pair of casual loafers that are going to be more for hot weather.
Now, if I'm traveling for more than three to four days, I will occasionally bring in
another pair of shoes, something that grabs a bit more attention something to change things
up especially if I'm going to be wearing a suit if I'm going to be dressing up a bit
more. Oh! And, I almost forgot, I wear my bulkiest
clothing on the plane. So, when it comes down to my jacket, this is something I'm going
to travel with. It is not going to go into my suitcase. I'm always going to have a pair
of trousers. In this case, I've got dark charcoal. As you can see the shoes, I showed you a little
bit earlier with no-show socks. Right here, I've got my watch I've got a Rolex Submariner.
And then, I've got a long-sleeve dark -- if anyone knows me, I wear these navy shirts
all the time. So, that’s it, guys. Hopefully you enjoy
this a little bit more personal a little bit different of a video. But, I want to give
you guys an insight into my lightweight travel wardrobe. This has really been the clothing
I've been wearing every time I travel. And, yes, I am getting away with one single jacket.
Now, if I'm going for a week, probably I'll throw another jacket in there. But, that's
it, guys. And, again, if you're in Dallas, Texas, you’re
in Los Angeles, California, you're in Mauritius, I would love to meet you. I'm going to link
to the meet-ups down in the description of today's video. Guys, go check it out and let
me know if you can be there. I’m excited to meet you. And, yeah, that's it. Take care.
I'll see you in the next video. [0:07:24] End of audio
