The more I travel, the better I get at choosing my travel gear! You know the reason why? Well, that is because I seem to face all those problems during my travel days and hence need a solution to make my travels more comfortable. Over the many years of travel, I have upgraded my backpack, upgraded my footwear many times, purchased a smaller rugged laptop and bought myself many gear that either solved my problems during travels or provided me with innovative solutions.

I apply the same logic to my clothes too. They should be utility driven. They should be comfortable of course as I will be living in them for a long time. with a backpack and sometimes in inhospitable weather. They should be fashionable so that I can mix and match them for different types of occasions.

And one of my top brands for choosing travel clothing is Nautica. I used their Autumn-Winter collection during my backpacking trip to Turkey and have been hooked since. They are also useful for Christmas holidays, but with additional layers. And I tried out their Spring-Summer collection for my recent Europe and US trip.

If you have been following my blog posts, you will know that I have just returned home after a lovely 6 weeks across Germany, France and the United States of America. It was summer and I was blessed with bright sunny days for most of my trip. And this is where I used the clothes from Nautica’s Spring-Summer collection.
I normally travel like I belong there. This is how I did that at Santa Monica California.

I cannot tell you how much I loved using the stretchable fabric polo shirts of Nautica. These were super comfortable, completely odour proof, looked great on me in their popping colors, did not crease even with rough use (like putting and removing backpacks like a zillion times), dried out super quickly (either in rain or after a wash), looked clean and simple (the way I like it) and at most times I felt like I was hardly wearing anything.

I could say the same about their regular polo shirts and jeans too, though they do crease and take time to dry. But, again, insanely comfortable.
This is one picture everyone gets clicked when they go to Paris. I did too. At Eiffel Tower, Paris.
Be it a cool and sunny day in Stuttgart, a wet and nippy day in Paris, steamy hot weather in Austin, San Antonio and New Orleans, windy in New York or super pleasant in Los Angeles, the Spring-Summer collection from Nautica kept me comfortable, presentable and going.
Pierre Herme’s Macarons are a world apart. I lost myself in that world many a time during my stay in Paris.
And for a brand conscious person like me, donning an international fashion label makes me feel good, which is an added bonus, like the icing on the cake. The clothing does the rest. I think I look wearing clothes from Nautica. I am not sure what your opinion is. But, if and when you try them out, you will exactly understand their comfort value. The clothes are a bit pricey from a regular Indian standpoint, but once you feel its comfort and revel in its young and fresh fashion sense, you will be hooked on to their clothes like me!
