The number of pockets – Whenever going on a trip remember to choose a dress with more number of pockets. You’ll need them for keeping cash, mobile, wallet, and passport etc. It is way better than carrying a handbag that can fall or get snatched.

A number of underwear and shocks – While keeping as less as possible dresses is a good thing, you should consider taking a larger number of underwear and shocks.

And the shocks can get really smelly if you don’t change them often.
