Bamboo clothing for the city break

Short answer: On a city break you walk a lot, move between warm streets and cool museums, and pack light. Clothes that work both by day and in the evening solve most of it.

Walking a lot

Many hours of walking mean sweat and chafing. Underwear and socks that carry moisture away make the biggest difference. See bamboo socks for men.

From day to evening

A plain t-shirt works for both if you change shoes and put a shirt over it. See bamboo t-shirt for women.

Layers

Indoors it is often cool. A thin long-sleeved top takes up little room in the bag. See long-sleeved bamboo t-shirt for women.

Chafing on the thighs

If you wear a dress in the heat, under-shorts are what stop the chafing. See bamboo under-shorts.

Pack few pieces

Choose colours that work together, so everything matches everything. See how to build a capsule wardrobe in bamboo.

Wash on the way

Thin clothes can be rinsed in the evening and be dry by morning. That means you can pack fewer pieces.

The shoes matter most

Whatever you wear, it is the shoes that decide how far you can walk. The sock can only help part of the way.

Frequently asked questions
