Then you are really spread out across the world. (not so comfortable).</p> <p>@ Rachylou &amp; Sylvie: This article makes us look like clothes freaks. It's crazy. </p> <p>@ Roseandjoan: Travelling with children is wonderful but also makes you stick to a routine more. So in that respect, it is understandable one could change more often. And I imagine you spent a lot of time in the laundry room where all passengers compete for 3 machines...</p> <p>@ Ruth: Agree. If anything, one would change less often I would think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666898 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:44:02 +0000 krishnidoux 666898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Traci: you are making it make a bit more sense. Call me old fashion, I never thought that when you go out for the evening, you'd change again for the club... but then again, now that I think about it, it's much better to do so. I'm from an old generation who goes out like an adventure, ready to face anything...</p> <p>@ Ruth: Aren't those cruises just wonderful? You are lucky to have a husband who comes working out with you. Mine sleeps in the cabin! Re: Flip-flops: yes, I agree, very bad for the feet.</p> <p>@ Lisa: My pleasure. I tend to do like you: one day time, one evening wear and one swim or workout change. 7 is over the top I think.</p> <p>@ Suz: you have a point about the weather, however, is it worth changing your whole outfit? Isn't a raincoat or jacket enough? When I travel is when I am least susceptible of changing due to weather. Unless there is a sudden major heatwave and I happen to be wearing tweed. Otherwise...</p> <p>Re: bikinis: How many is too many?</p> <p>@ Mo: never say never again... you might develop a taste for clubs, who knows? Don't tell me you're too old! That is ludicrous.</p> <p>@ Teeandcee: I have this problem if I buy too much clothes while travelling. I want to wear those and my old ones suddenly seem so plain. Before I leave, I always pack in a 2-step process. The second time around is for editing and purging the suitcase. I read somewhere ''If you are beautiful in it now, you'll be beautiful in it when you come back''. </p> <p>@ Carole: I wouldn't either!</p> <p>@ JR: That is fantastic. What is your trick?</p> <p>@ Diana: so true about the cooking. It's so nice to be on vacation and not have to cook, nor shop for food. That is where a big part of the 'holiday' lies for me! (can you tell I hate cooking?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666884 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:19:14 +0000 RoseandJoan 666884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's right Ruth a city break would require fewer changes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666879 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:14:18 +0000 Anonymous 666879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The # of changes I posted in this thread is assuming I'm on a cruise ship and that I'm going to put on clothes to go eat breakfast, change into swimwear for a day at the beach (shore excursion), change back into regular clothes when I get back to the ship, change into whatever I'm going to wear to the formal dining room in the evening, and then change into pajamas. Obviously, this is not the normal travel scenario for me. If I'm just flying in an airplane, I'm going to wear the same outfit all day long. If I'm at a beach and if my DH and I have plans to go out for dinner, I'm obviously going to have to change clothes during the day to accommodate the various activities. When we were at Disney, I wore the same outfit all day long because the weather didn't get hot enough to warrant a clothing change. I just changed out of pajamas in the AM and back into pajamas in the PM.</p> <p>I still can't figure out how they came up with 7 wardrobe changes. Maybe they don't figure you're going to wear the same outfit after dinner? That's never been my style. I don't go clubbing, and a lot of my outfits are suitable for both day and evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666873 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:08:57 +0000 RoseandJoan 666873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I may have changed close to seven times a day when All Inclusive in Turkey, breakfast, lunch and dinner were served in a restaurant with a 'no pool attire' policy and being on holiday with children meant there was little chance of skipping a meal.</p> <p>A typical day would have been:<br /> Change out of nightwear into clothes suitable for breakfast and a little sightseeing whilst the sun is low.<br /> Change into pool attire for a late morning swim.<br /> Change for lunch and back to the apartment to avoid the midday sun and take a siesta.<br /> Late afternoon back into pool/ beach wear.<br /> Back to the apartment to change for an evening meal (no shorts or denim)<br /> Back into night clothes</p> <p>That is a lot of clothing changes but many of the outfits would be repeats. The baggage allowance with this holiday was a pitiful 25kg for 2 adults and 2 children.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666851 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:40:58 +0000 Sylvie 666851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, most of my vacation days are:</p> <p>Nightclothes to day-clothes<br /> Day-clothes to nightclothes.</p> <p>On one or two nights, I may change into evening clothes but not normally.</p> <p>The maximum number of times I'd ever change in a given day would be:</p> <p>Night clothes to Day-clothes<br /> Day-clothes to workout clothes<br /> Workout clothes to Day-clothes<br /> Day-clothes to Lounge clothes<br /> Lounge clothes to Night clothes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666807 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:58:16 +0000 rachylou 666807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way. You're not traveling if you can change that many times in a day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666806 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:58:08 +0000 Anonymous 666806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crikey!! This girl travels with just one carry-on piece of Tumi luggage cos I've learnt over the years NEVER to check my bags into the hold. ( I still remember a famous British Airways boast on a poster in a London subway train: "Breakfast in London, Lunch in New York". Some wit had scrawled underneath "and luggage in Hong Kong".) That hardly allows me to change seven times a day!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666805 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:55:50 +0000 Anonymous 666805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They must be counting putting on a cardigan as an outfit change, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666804 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:54:41 +0000 Diana 666804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So on a regular day (not vacation) I usually do the following:<br /> 1. Pjs to daywear (for work)<br /> 2. daywear to loungewear (when I get home)<br /> 3. loungewear to workout clothes (I have been working out at night)<br /> 4. workout clothes, shower, then Pjs for the rest of the evening</p> <p>I don't work out every day, so then it would be only 3.</p> <p>On vacation, I might actually have less changes because I probably wouldn't work out and I like to pack light so would probably just use the PJs as loungewear. The main reason I do not do this at home is because I usually cook and don't want either my street clothes or my PJs to smell like cooking. </p> <p>Beach vacation might be:<br /> 1. PJs to daywear<br /> 2. daywear to bikini<br /> 3. bikini to daywear<br /> 4. (maybe, if going somewhere nice for dinner) daywear to evening wear<br /> 5. back to PJs</p> <p>Still only 5. Non beach would be even less, since i would skip 2&amp;3. I am a light packer though and never use my full baggage allowance. I hate dragging luggage around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666794 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:45:07 +0000 JR 666794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate changing my clothes during the day, whether at home or travelling. (Trips to a beach or pool obviously are the exception to that rule.) I also usually take about half of the luggage limit, so maybe I'm a freak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666792 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 15:43:27 +0000 Carole 666792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! Seems with all the luggage restrictions and costs people would be finding ways to streamline. I guess it would depend on wear you were going and what you were doing, but I hardly think 7x is the norm. I wouldn't consider PJs an outfit, that's for sure, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666704 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:43:00 +0000 teeandcee 666704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely don't change that often, but I am guilty of not wearing all the clothes I bring. I don't go over my baggage limit if flying though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666696 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:24:07 +0000 Mo 666696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that it says one in ten women will change up to 7 times, but most average 4. I can see that. I usually just do 2 - daytime and nighttime - unless there is an activity specific need (workout, beach). I suppose if I were younger or hitting real hotspots I could change after dinner for hitting clubs, but that ship sailed lol.<br /> As for the flip flops, could it be that most British travelers take beach holidays to get some sunny warm weather? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666684 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:11:40 +0000 Suz 666684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would depend on one's holiday activities. I would rarely change that often (on holiday or not) but it IS true that a wide variety of activities plus weather changes could involve more changes than when at home. Luckily for the packer in the example, bikinis don't take up much space; she shouldn't have trouble fitting those in her suitcase! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666680 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:04:51 +0000 Lisa 666680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. The article also states 1 in 5 women go over their baggage amount. I have (so far) never done that nor have I changed 7 times a day on any trip, let alone 7 different outfits a day. I tend to repeat some of the outfits in a single day. The most I've changed is:<br /> 1. Sleep wear to daytime outfit<br /> 2. Daytime outfit to beach/pool outfit<br /> 3. Back into daytime outfit<br /> 4. Daytime outfit to evening outfit<br /> 5. Back into sleepwear</p> <p>Thanks for posting the article! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666664 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:21:24 +0000 Anonymous 666664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's funny! When travelling, the most I ever change clothes has been 5 times in a day. That would be as follows:</p> <p>Change out of pajamas into the casual outfit I'm going to wear for most of the day.<br /> Change from casual outfit into swimsuit, coverup and flip flops.<br /> After swimming, change back into casual outfit.<br /> In the evening, change into formal wear for dining.<br /> Change from formal wear into pajamas.</p> <p>The above scenario is only if I go swimming. If not swiming, then I'd change into exercise clothing (my DH and I do use the ship's gym when we're on a cruise). I don't think I've ever gone swimming and worked out at the gym on the same day.</p> <p>How they got to 7 beats me. Traci's scenario would never apply to me. And 3 pairs of flip flops? Really? Then again, I saw plenty of people walking around Disney in flip flops, and wondered how their feet felt by the end of the day. For me, flip flops are only for beach or poolside use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666621 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:50:22 +0000 Traci 666621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's how it *could* happen</p> <p>1. Out of pajamas into exercise clothes for morning workout.<br /> 2. something presentable for breakfast at hotel restaurant.<br /> 3. Beach outfit and swimsuit<br /> 5. Change of clothes after swimming to travel back to hotel<br /> 6. Back to hotel to shower and change into sightseeing clothes<br /> 7. Dress up for dinner<br /> 8. Change into a fun outfit to go out to clubs after dinner<br /> 9. Back into pajamas</p> <p>This doesn't even really account for sudden drastic weather changes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666620 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:39:37 +0000 ManidipaM 666620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could just about imagine two pairs --- one to wear when the other is wet. but unless these are people who wear nothing but flipflops on holiday, three is boggling my mind too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666619 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:37:30 +0000 krishnidoux 666619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you. How can one change 7 times a day, is that a typo?<br /> Is that an inflated number due to the fact the survey was ordered by a clothing store?</p> <p>Also: three pairs of flip flops? Does it make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666617 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:35:20 +0000 ManidipaM 666617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, and here I thought it was bad enough to change for evenings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666615 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:27:21 +0000 transition 666615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They gave a good example of three times a day: swimming, casual clothes for regular activities, dressing up a little for dinner out. That seems pretty normal to me. I'm not sure how they are getting seven, I come up with five: getting dressed in the morning, changing into swimming attire, changing back into casual attire, changing into dinner wear, and then getting ready for bed. It's hard to imagine more than that is typical. . . . the only time I've ever changed more than that was when being with babies and toddlers meant my clothes were dirty after every meal too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-change-outfit-7-times-a-day-when-travelling#post-666611 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:08:52 +0000 krishnidoux 666611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/9390244/Women-change-outfit-28-times-on-holiday.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tra.....liday.html</a></p> <p>Your reactions? </p>
