The Travelling Fairy DancerWhat are the most convenient travel clothes?

One chilly, but sunny day in Paris, museums were explored, shops were ravaged, streets were traipsed and coffees were sipped. That cold, but starry night, restaurants were visited, wine savoured and floors of nightclubs burned; all in the same black pants.
Especially in winter, when sweating isn't such an issue, a pair of pants that serve day and night are invaluable. Crease free, stretchable and black are often the most useful.
For men, cargo pants with removable legs (zipped from the knee down) can serve a similar purpose for day to night wear.
Easy to pack, roll them or fold them twin sets (as in a singlet top with matching shawl/jumper/cardigan) also form a great basis for a day to night wardrobe. Scrunch a cardie up in your day pack to be pulled on over your singlet at night for an instant change of outfit. Like the black pants, it's all about the material so choose wisely.
Strappy sandals, providing they're ultra comfortable, are slim and light to pack. If you get the right style, they are perfect to convert from day to night as they're generally acceptable in most restaurants and nightclubs (with your black pants).
How many times have you been travelling and only worn half of what is packed in your bag? The trick is remembering what you liked wearing and leaving the rest at home next time!
If only I could practice what I preach...
