The heat is coming and we're all thinking the same thing, aren't we? HOLIDAYAAAAS. Even though it's still April, this could be the perfect time to take your first vacation of the year. You don't necessarily have to stay in Portugal, and you can choose a destination where the heat is already felt on a regular basis.

That's why, in this post, we're going to give you golden tips on what to pack in your travel bag, so that you take everything you need, and don't forget anything. We already know that women, as a general rule, always bring the house to its knees, literally. However, there are also men who are already very vain and who also like to carry several options because they don't know what mood they will be in that day.

The first thing you should do is check the weather of the destination you are going to. It's important to know at least how long it will take. From there, just start packing your bags. Let's assume you're going to a place where the heat will be felt throughout your stay.

Bikinis

You should start by always wearing bikinis, so you can rock the beach and enjoy your vacation to the 100%.

Shorts

Whether it's for after coming from the beach, or even for a walk, taking shorts is always a good option. In the heat, there's nothing better than a pair of shorts to keep you cool, but at the same time comfortable and fresh. See our collection of shorts for men and women .

Slippers and Sneakers

On vacation, we want to be comfortable. Therefore, we must have shoes that provide us with just that. An example of this are flip-flops and sandals , which, in addition to being extremely comfortable, are easy to put on. If you don't like wearing flip-flops , we get it, so you can always take your favoritesneakers . Keep in mind that they have to be comfortable if you want to walk for a long time to be able to visit everything you had planned.

T-Shirts

A new t-shirt a day, you don't know how much good it would do you! Going on vacation is no exception. You need at least two tees a day. One for the beach, and one for going out to dinner. That's why we're going to give you lots of options, for men and women . If you already have children, don't worry , we also have t-shirts for them.

Coats

Yes, you read that right. Even though it's hot, you can't help but bring a coat. The truth is that in many paradisiacal places, it is very hot during the day, but at night it feels good to wear a coat. If you're not going to a country where it's not hot, you really need to take at least one, so you don't freeze! See our collection of Jackets for Men and Women .

Caps

A cap is always good to take on your vacation. Whether it's to protect you from the sun on hot days, or to add a special, cool touch to your outfit . See our Caps collection.

Suitcases and Bags

When talking about useful and yet stylish accessories, we can't leave out bags and purses . That's why they're so important to take on your vacation. You can store everything you need, keep it safe and still look super cool . If you're an adventurer, we have The North Face backpacks , which have space to store everything you need to face your adventures.

Now that you know which are the essentials to keep in your bag, you have no excuse for forgetting the things you need most.
