Items to have on a business trip
October 25, 2018
As we all know, in the business world, travelling is one important part of the deal. So in this blog I am going to share with you guys some items to carry along with you when preparing to make a business trip.
A SUIT CASE / TRAVELLING BAG
A travelling bag is one of the necessary item you have to get. Without a travelling bag (suit case) other items mentioned below can't be taken with you on your trip. A comfortable and portable travelling bag can serve the purpose.
PANTS (TROUSERS)
A pair of well fitting pants (trousers) and should't be too tight on the body.
SHIRT / CARDIGAN /JACKET OR BLAZER
A pair of white and blue oxford shirts can serve the purpose for a business meeting (my opinion). Also, I advise to carry along a cardigan. A cardigan can be worn on a business event. Any color of blazer preferable charcoal black, navel blue or grey color. Too brighten color blazer is not really cool. Don't forget we are dressing for a business event not for a fashion show.
SHOES
At least two pairs of shoes. A black and brown shoes are perfect. In cases, where your business meetings (trips) involved more mobility, then I will advise to carry along with you comfortable shoes to avoid foot ache.
TIE / TIP CLIPS /CUFFLINKS
You choose a tie that matches up with the color of the shirt but should be darker especially if the shirt color is bright and vice versa. A tie bar/ tie clip is helpful a lot in keeping the tie fixed to the shirt. It prevents the tie from unnecessary movement and discomfort. A cufflinks adds a touch of fashion to your formal outfits. It makes an outfit look smart and classy.

ACCESSORIES ( WRIST WATCH/ BRACELET/RING)
A simple and classic styled silver or gold watch with a limited or less complicated features.
BELTS / SOCKS
A black belt (if you decide to go with the black color shoes) or brown belt for brown shoes. Also you should take with you a few pair of socks.
PAJAMAS /UNDERWEAR/ WORKOUT CLOTH
When packing for a business trip. It obvious you might have a stay over. Meaning you will need something to put on when it's bedtime (or you can go to bed with your business outfit on you… joking), so to avoid that, don't forget to carry pajamas or sleeping dress (if possible two pairs if your trip will involve more days). Another compulsory item to carry along with you is an underwear. Also, don't leave your workout outfit especially, if you are the workout type of person. For example, when I travel for a business trip, I carry along with me, my workout outfit. I love to workout and I do love running. I use that medium to explore the new environment.
NOTEBOOK/NOTEPAD/LAPTOP
If you are fortunate to own a laptop, that's great. You can carry it along but if you don't have a laptop, a notepad/tablet or notebook can serve almost serve the same purpose.
PHONE CHARGER/POWERBANK
When packing for a business trip, you should not forget to take along with you a phone charger and a power bank just in case you can't find an outlet to charge your phone. Just a backup source of power.
