From cozy local getaways to international adventures like Oktoberfest in Germany, autumn is full of crisp air, golden leaves and unforgettable destinations. It's also one of the best times to travel. Here's what to pack for fall. Best Fall Travel Outfits and Packing Tips for Local Trips, Halloween and OktoberfestFall is one of the best times of year to travel. But packing for fall trips can be tricky. The fall weather shifts from warm afternoons to chilly nights (and sometimes even early frosts) add an extra layer of thought to consider when you pack for fall.At 1923 Main Street, we live and breathe travel style. Our graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies are designed for travelers who want to pack light while staying stylish and comfortable. Here’s your ultimate guide on what to wear and pack for fall travel adventures.What to Wear for Fall TravelThe secret to fall travel outfits is layering. Layers keep you comfortable in changing weather and make it easy to adapt to different settings—from apple orchards to cobblestone streets.Base Layer (T-Shirts): A breathable graphic tee is the perfect starting point. It works on its own during warm days and layers easily under a hoodie or jacket when temperatures drop.Mid Layer (Sweatshirts and Hoodies): These are fall travel essentials. A cozy sweatshirt or hoodie keeps you warm in cool evenings and can double as a pillow on long flights.Outer Layer (Jackets or Flannels): For extra warmth, add a lightweight jacket or flannel shirt. If you’re traveling somewhere unpredictable, go for a packable, water-resistant jacket.Best Shoes and Accessories for Fall TravelShoes: Comfortable walking shoes or boots are a must. Waterproof options are ideal if you’ll encounter rain (like Europe in the fall).Bottoms: Dark jeans, joggers or travel pants that you can easily dress up or down.Accessories: Scarves, beanies and gloves don’t take up much luggage space, but they add warmth and style. And, of course, sunglasses are still essential for those bright, crisp days.Fall Packing Tips for Local GetawaysIf you’re planning a local day trip or weekend getaway in the fall—to a pumpkin patch, winery or mountain town—you don’t need to overpack (you never need to overpack).Pack two t-shirts, one sweatshirt or hoodie, and one jacket.Stick to jeans or versatile pants that can handle day hikes and dinner in town.Bring a small backpack or crossbody bag for snacks, water and souvenirs.Dressing for Pumpkin Patches and Halloween AdventuresSome of the best fall memories are made closer to home—picking the perfect pumpkin, getting lost in a corn maze, or heading out for a spooky Halloween event. For these outings, comfort and fun go hand in hand. A cozy hoodie or sweatshirt layered over a travel-inspired graphic tee keeps you warm for hayrides or evening trick-or-treat strolls. Pair your tops with jeans or leggings and comfortable boots, and don’t forget a scarf or beanie for when the temperature dips after sunset, if those are your type of thing. These outfits not only keep you comfortable but also look great in all those pumpkin patch photo ops.What to Pack for Oktoberfest in Germany (or any International Fall Trip)Heading abroad this fall? Whether it’s Oktoberfest in Munich or exploring European cities, smart packing is key.Daytime: Wear a t-shirt with jeans or joggers and add a hoodie when it cools down.Evenings: Add a flannel or jacket for warmth and style.Shoes: Comfortable walking shoes are essential for sightseeing (and for dancing in beer tents—don’t say we didn’t warn you).Extras: Leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs—you’ll definitely want to bring home a scarf and a beer stein (or two).How to Pack Light for Fall TravelThe beauty of fall travel wardrobes is that you don’t need much. By sticking to neutral colors and versatile layers, you can mix and match outfits without overpacking.A sample carry-on fall packing list:3 graphic t-shirts1 sweatshirt1 hoodie1 flannel or light jacket2 pairs of pants (jeans + travel joggers)1 pair of walking shoes, 1 optional dressier pair of shoes or bootsAccessories: scarf, hat, gloves, sunglassesWith this core packing list, you’re ready for anything—whether it’s cider tasting, exploring European cities, or cozy nights by a fire.Fall Travel Style with 1923 Main StreetFall is all about comfort, adventure and creating memories. With travel-inspired t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies from 1923 Main Street, you’ll be ready for every part of the journey—warm afternoons, chilly nights and everything in between.Shop at 1923 Main Street, Graphic T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

We did a little research to come up with what we believe are 10 of the worst things that you can do when you travel. We’ve seen it all. Nothing ruins a vacation faster than being that tourist: the one who ignores local customs, disrespects sacred spaces, or treats a destination like their personal playground.10 Worst Things You Can Do on Vacation (and How to Avoid Them)At 1923 Main Street®, we believe the best journeys happen when you wander off the map, get lost in new places, and explore with curiosity. But there’s a right way to get lost — and a wrong way.So, before you zip up your bag and head out into the world, here are the 10 worst things you can do when you’re on vacation — and how to avoid them. Travel in style, travel with respect and get lost the right way.How many of these things have you witnessed or experience on your travels, and how did you react to them?10 Things to Avoid Doing When You Travel1. Ignoring Local CustomsEvery culture has its quirks, traditions and unspoken rules. From removing your shoes before entering a temple in Japan, to using the right hand for eating in India, ignoring local norms isn’t just awkward — it’s disrespectful. Do this instead: Learn a few key dos and don’ts before you travel. Locals will appreciate the effort, even if you don’t get it perfect. 2. Overpacking (and then Complaining About It)Dragging a giant suitcase over cobblestones while sweating through three layers? That’s not a vibe.Do this instead: Pack smart and light. Tip - a good travel hoodie or versatile tee goes a long way. 3. Treating a Destination Like a Theme Park People don’t exist for your entertainment. Snapping photos of locals without asking, or expecting “authentic performances” on demand are surefire ways to sour your experience. Do this instead: Engage your destination with curiosity, not consumption. Ask before taking photos of locals and participate respectfully. 4. Being Loud and ObnoxiousThat all-night party spirit may fly at home, but in a quiet village or a small guesthouse, you’re just the neighborhood fool (or worse).Do this instead: Keep it fun, but always keep it considerate. Follow the lead of those in the know.5. Only Eating What You Know Flying across the world just to hunt down your favorite burger chain, or asking a local restaurant if they can make your favorite dish from home... nope. Do this instead: Taste the local specialties. Food is culture and your taste buds will thank you. Worst case scenario, you have another great travel story to tell. 6. Forgetting Basic Phrases “Hello,” “Please” and “Thank you” go further than you think. Showing up without knowing a single word of the local language says, “I really don’t care.”Do this instead: Learn a handful of common words. Even if your accent is terrible, people will truly appreciate the effort.7. Disrespecting Sacred PlacesScratching your name onto ancient ruins, shouting in cathedrals, or dressing inappropriately at temples — huge nos. There have been too many of these stories in the news recently, so please do not be that tourist.Do this instead: Follow dress codes, keep your voice down and always remember that these types of spaces often hold deep meaning for locals.8. Overplanning Every MinuteVacations shouldn’t feel like military operations. Running from landmark to landmark without breathing means you’ll miss the magic in between.Do this instead: Leave time to wander, roam freely and even get a little lost. Getting lost often leads to your best stories (trust us, we’ve been there).9. Leaving a Trail of TrashPlastic bottles on the beach, food wrappers on the trail — nothing kills paradise faster.Do this instead: Carry reusable gear and leave no trace. Treat every place as if you’ll be back tomorrow.10. Forgetting You’re a Guest At the heart of it all, the worst travel mistake is forgetting that you’re a guest in someone else’s home town. Entitlement never looks good, no matter where you are.Do this instead: Travel with humility. Respect opens doors (and hearts).Travel in Style The world is wide and wonderful and waiting to be explored.  Every destination (near and far) deserves respect. Avoid these travel missteps and you’ll come home not only with amazing memories, but with the pride of knowing you traveled well.And if you want to wear your love of travel on your sleeve (literally), you know where to find us: 1923 Main Street® — for those who explore with respect.Shop at 1923 Main Street, Graphic T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

If you’re wondering whether or not to wear a costume to a Halloween party at Walt Disney World or Disneyland, here’s what you need to know.Does Everyone Dress up at Disney Parks Halloween Parties?Disney Halloween parties are very fun events and, of course, Halloween is a time when many people love to dress up. But if you’re heading to your first Disney Halloween party and you’re wondering if you should bring a costume on vacation with you, this is what you need to know. Whether you are attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World, or the Oogie Boogie Bash Disney at California Adventure at Disneyland, dressing up is a fun way to add to the Halloween spirit.A quick note to keep in mind is that Disney does have rules around what types of costumes are acceptable (and more specifically what is not acceptable), so be sure to check the Disney costume guidelines on their website before you go.Will I Feel Out-of-Place if I Dress Up (or Don’t Dress Up) for a Disney Halloween Party?A common question for first-time guests at a Disney Parks Halloween party is “Will I feel out of place if I don’t dress up?” Or sometimes, “Will if feel out of place if I do dress up?”In both cases, the answer is no. Disney encourages party guests to dress up because it adds to the festive atmosphere of the parties, but not everyone does. We have been to Disney Halloween events at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World and in our experience, it feels like a 50-50 split (give or take) between costumes and non-costumes on most party nights. People attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World may be more inclined to wear a costume compared to the Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland, but either way, whether you go in costume or not is completely up to you. Instead of a Halloween Costume, You Can Go with a Spooky ThemeCast members and other guests love seeing the costumes that guests wear. Some people really go over the top and it is great to see. But, remember to balance the practicality of the costume if you plan to go on rides or do anything other than posing with characters and trick-or-treating.If you don’t want to go fully into costume mode, there are other options. An easier way to get into the Halloween spirit of the Disney party vibe is to wear a graphic t-shirt or similar apparel that has a Halloween theme generally (or even a Disney Halloween theme, like Hocus Pocus or even a Haunted Mansion shirt).This is easier to wear, can be more comfortable and won’t take up too much extra space in your luggage. Also, if you’re attending one of the Disney Halloween parties in August or early September, it can be hot and humid (and even stormy) at night, so that is something to consider no matter what you plan to wear.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

When you’re packing for a trip – whether it’s an island getaway, a European vacation or a Disney vacation – every item should have to earn its place in your bag. And that leads to a very common travel question: Should I pack a hoodie for this vacation?Answering the Question: Should I Always Pack a Hoodie When I Travel?At 1923 Main Street®, we create travel-inspired graphic hoodies, sweatshirts and t-shirts for travelers who want comfort and style on the go. We also know the hoodie can be one of the most versatile pieces you bring—or one that takes up space without ever leaving the suitcase. How to Decide Whether to Bring a Hoodie on VacationLet’s look at the pros and cons of packing a hoodie on your next travel adventure.The Pros of Packing a Hoodie for Travel 1. Versatile Comfort on the RoadA good hoodie is like a wearable comfort zone. It works in airports, on long flights, during cool evenings, or when early-morning coffee runs come with chilly air.2. Built-In Travel PillowYour hoodie isn’t just clothing—it’s a neck pillow, lumbar cushion, or rolled-up headrest for a train ride or airport layover nap.3. Stylish in Any SettingWhether you’re exploring mountain trails, wandering city streets, or watching the sunset from a pier, a hoodie shines with relaxed, travel-ready style.4. Sun, Wind (and even Rain) ProtectionA lightweight travel hoodie can protect against sunburn on boat rides, cool winds on breezy beaches and even scorching weather on desert hikes. As a bonus, a hoodie can also work as a rain blocker in an unexpected pop-up thunderstorm.The Cons of Packing a Hoodie on Vacation1. Takes Up Valuable SpaceHoodies are bulkier than t-shirts, sweatshirts or light cardigans, so packing one can mean leaving another item behind—especially in a carry-on or if you’re capsule packing.2. Slow to DryUnlike quick-dry travel shirts, hoodies can stay damp for hours if they get wet, which can be a problem for fast-moving itineraries.3. Not Essential for Every DestinationIf you’re heading somewhere hot and humid with minimal indoor AC, you might never actually need a hoodie. And the number one reason for overpacking is: I might need this…Do You Need a Hoodie for Summer Travel?The answer to this question is a possible yes. Even in warm weather, a travel hoodie can be useful:Air-Conditioned Flights and Buildings – Airplanes, buses (Disney buses, anyone?) and even museums or shops can feel freezing compared to the outside.Cool Evenings and Mornings – Coastal towns, deserts and high altitudes often bring a chill after sunset – even when the daytime temps call for your lightest of lightweight clothing.Additional Sun Protection – Breathable hoodies can offer good sun protection coverage in many climates, without overheating.Expert Hoodie-Packing Tips for Travelers If you do plan to pack a hoodie for your travels, here are a few packing tips to keep in mind.Pick the Right Weight – A lightweight, packable hoodie is perfect for summer; a thicker, fleece-lined hoodie works for colder trips. The most common hoodies you’ll find with be somewhere in the middle and can usually be flexible enough to adapt.Wear It in Transit – Save space in your luggage and stay warm on the plane by wearing your hoodie or tying it around your waist on travel days. Airplane pillow anyone?Roll, Don’t Fold – Rolling minimizes bulk and can cushion fragile souvenirs as an added bonus.Think Multipurpose – Use your hoodie as a blanket, privacy shield, or even a light sleep mask.The Bottom Line: Should You Bring a Hoodie on Vacation?If your destination has unpredictable weather, chilly mornings, or overactive AC, a hoodie is likely a good candidate to be a smart travel companion. However, if you’re headed somewhere consistently hot with little need for extra layers, you can probably skip packing that hoodie without too much regret.At 1923 Main Street, we design hoodies that earn their spot in your suitcase and for everyday wear. We create hoodies that work in multiple climates, keep you comfortable in transit, and still look great when you step out to explore.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

If you’ve ever caught yourself staring out a window, daydreaming of cobblestone streets in Paris, sunrises over Bali rice fields, or the quiet serenity of a mountain trail, you’re not alone. Wanderlust—the irresistible urge to travel—is more than a trendy hashtag or a clever slogan on a hoodie. It’s a deeply rooted part of human psychology.A Journey into the Mind of the TravelerAt 1923 Main Street, we live for that pull toward the horizon. But what is wanderlust, really? Why are some of us always dreaming of elsewhere?Let’s take a journey into the mind.Born to Roam: The Science of WanderlustWanderlust isn’t just a personality quirk—it’s something researchers have studied and even tried to measure. There’s a term for the personality trait most associated with travel: “high openness to experience.” Psychologists define this as one of the Big Five personality traits, and it’s a strong predictor of someone’s love for novelty, adventure and yes—travel.Studies have shown that people who score high in openness tend to:Be more curious and imaginativeSeek out variety and new experiencesBe more tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguityIt’s not just about loving travel—it’s about thriving on the unknown.There’s also a genetic component. A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior suggested a connection between the DRD4-7R gene and a tendency to love exploring. People with this “wanderlust gene” tend to be more risk-taking and exploratory. Not everyone has it, but those who do are statistically more likely to crave far-off places.The Eternal Elsewhere: Is Wanderlust Good or Bad?Like anything, wanderlust has its pros and cons.On the plus side:Travel lovers tend to be more adaptable and resilient.Exploring new cultures fosters empathy and creativity.Experiences (like travel) are known to bring longer-lasting happiness than possessions.But a constant yearning to be somewhere else can also have its downside. If you’re always focused on “the next place,” it can be hard to appreciate the present. Psychologists refer to this as destination addiction—the idea that happiness is always “somewhere else,” just out of reach.The trick? Embrace the adventure, but don’t lose sight of the beauty in everyday life. (That’s part of why we design our graphic tees and hoodies the way we do—to bring a little bit of your favorite places with you wherever you are—including enjoying those memories at home.)The Social Media Effect: Inspiration or Illusion?We all know that the digital age has turbocharged our wanderlust. Your scrolling fingers barely have time to rest before you’re seeing someone’s photo of Santorini sunsets or Patagonia peaks.But beware, because social media can play a little game of angel/devil:Angel:It fuels inspiration and discovery—introducing places you might never have dreamed of.It creates a global community of like-minded adventurers.Devil:It can create unrealistic expectations (hello, curated perfection).It may lead to comparison fatigue, making us feel like we’re missing out.Research from the University of Pennsylvania showed that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day can reduce feelings of loneliness and FOMO—especially relevant when every scroll seems to showcase another person’s passport stamp or sunrise mountain top photo from a faraway land.The key? Let social media inspire your dreams, but not dictate your worth.Are You Wired for Wanderlust?Wondering if you’re part of the wanderlust tribe? Ask yourself:Do I get excited by planning trips—even ones I might never take?Do I sometimes feel more “me” when I’m out of my comfort zone?Am I more drawn to experiences than stuff?Do I keep a mental list (or an actual map) of dream destinations?Have I ever picked a hoodie or tee just because it reminds me of a place I love?If you nodded yes to most of those, chances are—wanderlust runs through your veins.Final Boarding CallWanderlust isn’t something to be cured—it’s something to be celebrated. The desire to travel pushes us to explore, connect and dream. Whether you’re planning your next trip or reminiscing about your last, 1923 Main Street is here to keep that adventurous spark alive. Our travel-inspired apparel lets you wear your passion for the world—wherever you are, wherever you're going next.So go ahead—dream big, roam far, and bring a piece of the journey with you.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

If there’s one thing that’s universal about traveling in the era of social media, it’s that travel can be tough on style. Look Good, Feel Great: Mastering Travel Style Without CompromiseBetween long flights, unpredictable weather and the need to pack light and be ready for that magical photo moment, many travelers feel like they have to choose between looking good and feeling comfortable. But here’s where we can help: you don’t have to compromise. With a few smart strategies and the right wardrobe choices, you can build a travel outfit that delivers both fashion and function—no sacrifices required.Why Fashion vs. Function Feels Like a Tug-of-WarThere’s a reason this dilemma exists. From a logical perspective, travel demands practicality: wrinkle-resistant fabrics, breathable layers and outfits that can go the distance from airport lounges to late-night dinners. But fashion? That calls for intention, personality and a sense of style. Logic isn’t always at the forefront. The tension arises when we assume these goals are at odds. However, with a little pre-planning, they can work together just fine.Modern travelers usually want clothing that’s versatile, expressive and wearable. That’s where the right design comes in: thoughtful pieces that layer well, flatter the body and still make a statement.Style Choices That Don’t Sacrifice ComfortTo balance comfort and style, start by thinking about fabric and fit. Look for breathable cotton, soft French terry, and flexible weaves that move with you, not against you. Whatever is most comfortable for you, begin there. You may want to prioritize silhouettes that are relaxed without being shapeless: something like tailored joggers instead of bulky sweats, or a fitted tee instead of an oversized top. On the other hand, you may prefer big tees and wide-leg bottoms. Whatever the case, keep your style in mind and overlay comfort.Color and graphic elements can elevate even the most casual outfit. A well-designed graphic t-shirt, for example, adds instant visual interest without adding bulk or weight. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference—especially when it reflects your passion for travel.Travel Outfit Formulas that Just WorkThere’s no one-size-fits-all approach to travel fashion, but there are reliable formulas that work across body types, climates and destinations. Here are three of our favorites as examples:The Layover Layer Look: Start with a statement graphic tee, add a lightweight sweatshirt or hoodie, and finish with tapered joggers or leggings. This look is perfect for navigating airports or cozying up on a train ride.The Urban Explorer: Combine a clean-cut hoodie with fitted jeans and comfortable shoes. Add sunglasses and a crossbody bag if you want to accessorize and you’re ready to explore the city in style.The Adventure-Ready Outfit: Choose a breathable t-shirt with a moisture-wicking base layer, top with a hoodie, and pair with hiking pants or stretch chinos. Ideal for days when your itinerary includes both scenic viewpoints and scenic cafés.These formulas rely on layers that are easy to shed or add, making them perfect for the unpredictable nature of travel.Where 1923 Main Street® Collections Fit InAt 1923 Main Street®, we believe your clothing should travel as well as you do. That’s why our collections of graphic travel t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies are designed to do more than just look good.Each piece in our lineup is built with comfort-first fabrics that are soft, breathable and durable. But just as important is the design: our graphics are subtle yet expressive, inspired by the art and emotion of travel. We design for travelers who want to feel put-together while still staying grounded in comfort and authenticity.Whether you're walking the cobbled streets of a European old town or boarding your next long-haul flight, a 1923 Main Street piece ensures you're ready for the journey—inside and out.Travel Tip: Pack smart by building a capsule wardrobe around a few essential travel pieces. One or two versatile t-shirts, a hoodie, and a sweatshirt from 1923 Main Street can anchor multiple outfits while keeping your luggage light and your look on point.Final Thoughts The next time you’re packing for a trip, don’t settle for "either-or." The right travel outfit lets you feel like yourself—comfortable, confident and stylish—no matter where you’re headed.

Whether you're traveling in the balmy summer or during those cooler winter months, layering is your best friend.Warm Weather Option: Start with a buttery-soft graphic tee, such as one of the classics from our subtle Disney styles. These shirts breathe through the heat, but pair beautifully with a lightweight linen shirt or soft chambray button-up for when the sun sets. Tie it around your waist during the day for that casually put-together look.Cool Weather Option: In chillier seasons, transition seamlessly from daytime adventure to nighttime sparkle with a trademark 1923 Main Street fleece-lined sweatshirt or hoodies. Our original upscale designs bring Disney charm without the cartoon vibes, offering warmth and class in one perfect layer.2. Embrace Subtle Sparkle and Moody TonesNighttime Disney calls for a little extra something. The look for Disney at night should be elegant casual meets theme park chic.Consider incorporating subtle sparkle through accessories—think a starry crossbody bag or shimmer-accented Mickey ears in a deep midnight hue. Our tees and sweatshirts in moody tones like cardinal, navy and charcoal give your look that elevated feel without screaming tacky theme park.The goal? Let your love for Disney show without sacrificing style. With a 1923 Main Street shirt as your canvas, you’re already ahead of the game.3. Style that Flows from Parks to DiningIt’s not uncommon to go from taking the perfect castle photos at golden hour to a dinner reservation at one of Disney’s signature restaurants as the sun sets. And with the right outfit, you don’t need to run back to the resort.A fitted 1923 Main Street t-shirt tucked into a high-waisted skirt or chic shorts can look perfectly polished. Depending on where you’re dining, you could even add a blazer or cropped jacket. Going somewhere where purc comfort is the priority? An elegant subtle Disney sweatshirt with tapered joggers or a maxi dress will instantly give you a layered, cozy-elegant look.Our pieces are intentionally designed to blur the line between theme park apparel and travel-ready fashion—so you can dine at Topolino’s or Napa Rose while feeling both magical and modern.4. Let 1923 Main Street® Subtle Disney Apparel Be Your FoundationOur subtle enchanting designs are made for moments like these. Unlike loud, kitschy park merch, our clothing is designed to elevate your Disney experience while keeping the magic just beneath the surface.Our monorail design, for instance, nod to the iconic transportation system without screaming it. It’s a conversation starter at any Disney bar or lounge and a stylish choice for those after-dark park selfies. Every 1923 Main Street piece is made to move with you from sunrise to starlight.5. Accessorize with IntentionAccessories are where nighttime looks shine. For evening events like themed parties or Disney After Hours go for any of the following:Themed jewelry in gold or silver tones—castle pendants, subtle mouse ears, or star motifs.Stylish ears or headbands in velvet or metallics.Sleek crossbody bags with hidden Disney touches.Classic sneakers or sandals in coordinating tones that keep you park-hopping in style.These small additions elevate your outfit without overwhelming it. They pair perfectly with the subtle storytelling found in every 1923 Main Street subtle Disney design.From Day to Night, Magic in Every StitchDisney after dark is a special kind of magic and your outfit should reflect that.

If you like to take travel style photos on vacation, then half the fun of travel is planning what you’re going to wear. And while we love a good outfit-of-the-day #OOTD selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower or Cinderella Castle, there’s something even better than scattered snaps: a thoughtfully curated travel lookbook. It’s part mood board, part memory keeper and part style savior—and when done right, it’s as functional as it is fashionable.Whether you're island-hopping in Greece or road-tripping on Route 66, here’s how to turn your travel outfits into a wearable lookbook that makes packing easier, boosts your style confidence, and levels up your Instagram social game.Why a Travel Lookbook Helps with Packing and StylePacking for a trip can be as overwhelming as choosing your airplane seat. To help make the process a little easier (and hopefully more fun), a travel lookbook is your cheat sheet. When you plan your outfits ahead of time, you avoid overpacking, underdressing, or ending up with five pairs of pants and zero tops that match.A lookbook forces you to think in terms of outfits, not items, so everything in your suitcase pulls its weight. You’ll feel more put together, and you won’t waste precious vacation time figuring out what to wear. Note: If you’re wondering how a lookbook differs from a capsule wardrobe, read this post.If you create pre-trip look book, you’ll never again be asking yourself “why did I pack this?”Start with a Mood Board (Pinterest is Your Best Friend)Before you even open your suitcase, create a visual game plan. Pinterest is the MVP here. Start a board for your trip and pin anything that feels right—colors, landscapes, street style and of course, pieces from the 1923 Main Street® collection that reflect your destination’s vibe.Heading to Italy? Think neutral tones with a pop of lemon. Bali? Light, breathable layers and earthy textures. A Canadian Rockies getaway? Cozy layers, vintage washes, and a splash of outdoorsy charm A Walt Disney World vacation? Subtle Disney style is your friend. Your mood board becomes a visual style compass. It helps you stay cohesive, focused and inspired when building your lookbook. It’s also a lot more fun to scroll for ideas and themes online that to look aimlessly through your closet.Documenting Outfits as Part of the Travel ExperienceFor a lot of travelers, outfits are a key part of the journey. Just like that amazing pastry you had in Paris or the hiking trail you conquered in Utah, your travel wardrobe tells a story. So make sure that you set yourself up to capture it well.Snap a quick mirror shot before heading out, get a street-style pic mid-day, or ask your travel buddy for a few candids. You don’t need a professional shoot—natural moments look much better almost every time.To level up your vacation outfit game, use your phone’s photo album or an app like Stylebook to save outfit photos and notes (weather, comfort level, what you’d tweak next time). This turns your lookbook into a functional archive for future trips.Tag, Post, Repeat: Boosting Social Engagement with Your LookbookSharing your lookbook on social media isn’t just for the ‘gram—it’s a way to connect with fellow travelers, inspire future trips and grow your personal brand with truly unique content (yes, even if it’s just for fun).To get the most from your lookbook style, mix up your posts. Try a carousel of outfits, make a Reel of your daily looks, or do a “what I packed vs. what I wore” TikTok.Every time you post, you're not just showing off your look—you’re contributing to a global style story. And if there’s one thing that people love to like on social media, it’s travel outfits.Make It Personal, Make It PracticalCreating a travel lookbook isn’t about being perfect or matching every trend. It’s about feeling confident, having fun and making memories—in style. Whether you’re a visual planner or a spontaneous packer, a little forethought goes a long way.So next time you’re prepping for a trip, think beyond the selfie. Start a mood board, build your looks around your favorite 1923 Main Street staples, and create a travel lookbook that’s not just wearable—but shareable, memorable and 100% you.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Whether you're jetting off to a sunny beach in the Caribbean, exploring the misty cliffs of Ireland, or exploring the rugged Pacific Northwest coastline, coastal travel style is a category all its own. Not all Coasts are Tropical, How to Match Your Coastal Style to Your DestinationAt 1923 Main Street®, we know that packing for the coast isn’t just about tossing in a swimsuit and calling it a day. It’s about curating a wardrobe that reflects your destination’s climate, culture and vibe—without sacrificing comfort or style.Let’s break it down: how coastal style differs from your typical city vacation (or even a Disney getaway), and how to build your perfect shoreline look, from fabrics and colors to layering pieces and graphic tees.City vs. Coast: It’s a Vibe ShiftWhen you're packing for a city trip or a Disney vacation, you're often focused on versatility, movement and weather changes over long walking days. Maybe denim, athleisure and structured pieces come to mind so you can layer for days exploring art museums, park hopping, or indulging in foodie adventures.But when it comes to the coast, your suitcase needs to shift gears.Coastal travel style is about ease, texture and embracing the natural environment around you. Whether it’s breezy and balmy or misty and moody, coastal destinations call for styles that move with the wind and echo the tones of the sea, sand or cliffs. The Staples of Coastal Travel Style1. Light, Breathable FabricsTropical coasts (like the Caribbean or Florida Keys): For warm weather tropical coasts, linen shirts, cotton sundresses, gauzy kaftans and soft-wash t-shirts are all great options. You want breathability and pieces that look better a little rumpled from the sandy beach, sea breeze or salty air.Cooler coasts (like the Pacific Northwest or the Irish coastline): Layering becomes key in these types of environments. Look for organic cottons, waffle-knit thermals and cozy hoodies. Lightweight waterproof jackets are also a must-have, or at least a consideration depending on where and when you’re traveling.2. Soft, Coastal ColorsCoastal destinations are nature's own neutral color palette. Your wardrobe should reflect the coastal colors of your region. Consider the following:Beachy tropical coasts: Go for whites, sands, sea-glass blues, coral and palm green.Northern or rustic coastlines: Think misty greys, deep ocean navy, sage, foggy lavender and stormy teal.Our 1923 Main Street® coastal collection of graphic tees and hoodies often draws from these palettes, with colors designed to complement ocean horizons and shoreline sunsets of all shapes and sizes.3. Comfortable LayersWeather on the coast (any coast) can change with the wind (and often does). Be prepared for the inevitable and always bring:A light sweatshirt or hoodie (especially one of our super-soft, travel-ready 1923 Main Street® designs)A long-sleeve tee for layering on cooler morningsA light scarf or wrap that can double as a beach blanket or an impromptu windbreakerDestination-Specific Coastal StyleTropical or Warm Weather Beaches For warm weather beaches, like the Bahamas, Florida, California, Maui, the South of France and so on, consider the following must-haves.Pack: Swimwear, linen cover-ups, wide-brim hats, flip flops or espadrillesStyle tip: Go with relaxed fits and graphic t-shirts with a vintage surf vibe or palm-print accents.Pacific Northwest Whether it’s the Oregon Coast or Vancouver Island, you’ll want to pack for a whole different style of coastline.Pack: Waterproof hiking boots, thermal leggings, cozy fleece-lined hoodies and even knit hats, in some casesStyle tip: Layer a classic 1923 Main Street® hoodie over a graphic tee for coastal walks or campfire eveningsUK or Scandinavian CoastlinesThe natural beauty and rugged terrain of these northern coasts beg for a little unique style of their own. Consider the following:Pack: A windproof trench or raincoat, wool socks, breathable base layers and sturdy walking shoesStyle tip: Moody coastal vibes are perfect for darker-toned sweatshirts and subtle, literary-inspired travel graphicsOne Last Pro Tip: Dress with the Daydream in MindCoastal vacations aren’t just a break from the norm—they’re a mood. So your wardrobe should feel like vacation, even if you're just grabbing coffee before a morning paddle or reading by the dunes.That’s why our 1923 Main Street® travel-themed shirts and sweatshirts are made to carry the feeling of travel with you, from beachside to boardwalk. Designed with premium, lightweight fabrics and custom graphics inspired by wanderlust, they’re just as perfect for morning flights as they are for sunrise or sunset strolls.Wherever your next coastal adventure takes you, let your style flow with the tides—effortless, elevated and endlessly inspired by the shoreline.Check out our latest coastal-inspired travel gear to bring that breezy vibe wherever you go.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Bold prints, bright colors and character-covered tees once dominated the Disney Parks style scene. But a new wave of fashion-forward Disney fans is shifting the narrative — and it’s all about minimalism. The Art of Subtle Disney Shirts and StyleIn the world of Disney fashion, louder used to mean better. This is the era of subtle Disney style, where quiet nods to beloved characters and stories speak louder than the loudest graphic tee. At the forefront of this movement is 1923 Main Street®, the original travel style brand redefining what it means to dress for Disney travel and beyond.Why Subtlety is StylishThere’s a reason minimalist fashion has remained timeless: it’s sophisticated, versatile and allows personal expression without overwhelming the senses. Subtle Disney fashion borrows this same elegance — offering a way to wear your fandom with class and creativity. Instead of flashy prints, think sleek typography, clean lines and abstract references that spark conversation, not cartoons. The minimalist approach resonates especially with adult Disney travelers who want to celebrate their passion for Disney in a way that’s elevated, travel-ready and style-conscious.The Rise of Minimalist Disney FashionAs fashion evolves and the Disney audience grows, so do the ways fans express their style. The rise of minimalist Disney fashion reflects a cultural shift toward meaningful, design-led clothing. People want wearable reminders of the magic that fit seamlessly into their everyday wardrobes — not just their park days. This is subtle Disney style at its finest1923 Main Street was an innovator of subtle Disney style and one of the first brands to champion this approach. Designing understated Disney shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies with original, clever references that only true fans recognize was an early hallmark of the 1923 Main Street brand. These aren’t just clothes — they’re conversation starters and memory-keepers, crafted with intention.Styling Low-Key Disney Looks at the ParksCreating a travel-ready look with subtle Disney pieces is easier than ever, especially when starting with the right foundation. A text-based or abstract reference tee from 1923 Main Street can be the perfect starting point. Whether it's a nod to a favorite princess, Disney travel tip or hidden detail only Disney regulars would catch, these designs pair beautifully with smart travel staples:Layer a minimalist sweatshirt over a neutral midi dress for a chic, effortless park-to-dinner look.Pair an abstract subtle Disney tee with high-rise shorts or linen pants and add a lightweight denim jacket for cooler evenings.Tie a 1923 Main Street hoodie around your waist during warm days — it’s practical, comfortable, and keeps your subtle Disney look consistent. Plus, it’s ready to go when the sun goes down.Accessories Make the MagicMinimalist Disney style doesn’t mean skipping the fun — it just means choosing pieces with intention. A pair of mouse-inspired stud earrings, a tone-on-tone Disney backpack, or a hat with a discreet reference adds character without clutter. Scarves, neutral sunglasses and sleek sneakers (subtle Disney or not) round out the look while keeping it versatile for long park days.Layering is key here. Mix textures — soft cotton, woven straw, lightweight knits — and let your subtle Disney top take the spotlight. Whether you're park-hopping, rope dropping or enjoying a Disney resort brunch, you’ll feel stylish without screaming Disney “tourist.”1923 Main Street®: The Original Brand in Subtle Disney Style1923 Main Street isn’t following a trend — it's leading a movement. Each 1923 Main Street design is an original creation, born from deep Disney knowledge and a passion for thoughtful fashion. The brand's mission is simple: to make Disney style more sophisticated, more wearable and more personal.By blending storytelling with clean design, 1923 Main Street proves that Disney inspired fashion doesn’t need to shout to be seen. Whether you’re a seasoned park-goer or a traveler bringing a little magic into the everyday, there’s power in keeping it subtle.Minimalist Disney fashion is more than a look — it’s a mindset. It’s for those who carry the magic quietly, proudly and stylishly wherever they go.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Unscripted travel moments don't only offer the best travel memories, but unscripted travel also creates great outfit styles as a result.Leave Room in Your Bag — and Your Plans — for AdventureThere’s something undeniably magical about boarding a train with no fixed destination. Or veering off the mapped-out route because a crooked sign pointed toward something called "The Devil’s Bathtub" or "Whispering Rocks." These are the moments that stay with us — the ones that weren’t booked through an app, recommended by a thousand blogs as “unique” (clearly not), or squeezed into an itinerary.Let the Road Write the Story. You Just Show Up in Style.At 1923 Main Street®, we believe in the beauty of unscripted travel. Because while a little planning is smart (we're not suggesting you forget your passport), leaving space for the unexpected opens the door to the best kind of stories — the kind that can’t be Googled.Wouldn’t you love to be among the first to share a unique story?The Best Stories Aren’t on the ItineraryAsk any traveler to tell you their favorite travel memory, and chances are, it won't be the hotel buffet or the all-inclusive pre-package fun. It will be that time they got caught in a street parade in a city they didn’t even mean to visit. Or when a local pointed them to a hidden walkway that led to a picture-perfect uncrowded beach, a tiny taverna, or a rooftop bar that no guidebook mentioned.When you leave space in your schedule, you make room for discovery. And discovery is the heart of real travel — not vacation. It’s raw, sometimes messy, but always unforgettable.Travel Style That Roams as Freely as You DoSpontaneous travel demands clothing that works just as hard as your spirit of adventure. You don’t need to dress like a walking checklist of tourist clichés. (Please don’t.) You need gear that moves with you, tells your story and doesn’t scream: “I’m new here!”That’s why our designs at 1923 Main Street® — especially our Unscripted line — speak to the soul of the traveler, not the schedule. They’re carefully created for those who’d rather follow a back road than a travel app. With subtle, inward-facing designs inspired by the magic of discovery, you’ll look like you belong wherever you end up. Or at least, you won’t look like you definitely don’t belong. And that is by design at 1923 Main Street®, because all of our original creations are based on experiences and this philosophy.Our pieces aren’t just bold in statement — they’re bold in versatility. Toss one of our graphic hoodies into your bag, and you’re ready for chilly train rides, windy cliff tops, or impromptu dinners under string lights in a tucked-away courtyard.Planning a wardrobe for unplanned travel is different (and more fun) than planning your outfits for a tightly controlled itinerary. It’s going to force you to be more creative, more flexible with your choices and – likely – better styled overall.A Little Planning Goes a Long Way When You Travel — the Rest is Pure MagicWhat exactly do we mean by unplanned travel? Unplanned travel doesn’t mean no planning at all. It’s obviously important to most people to have a starting point and a loose agenda. Let’s be real. You’ll want to book your resort hotel and perhaps a few spots to visit and places to eat. But leave the rest open. It’s in those undefined spaces — the cafés you stumble into, the trails you didn’t mean to hike — where the real magic happens.And when you look back, years later, it’ll be the photo where your shoes are muddy, your sweatshirt a little wrinkled and your smile completely real that brings it all flooding back. That’s the magic of wearing the adventure.So pack light. Roam Freely. Wear Boldly. And leave some room for the road to surprise you.Because the best journeys — and the best versions of ourselves — are never fully planned.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Whether you're a fan of the timeless classics or drawn to bold villain vibes, the iconic Disney characters we all know and love offer more than entertainment—they offer serious style inspiration. From Mickey Mouse to Maleficent, their looks are instantly recognizable, full of personality and perfect for inspiring your everyday wardrobe.Inspiration to Style an Outfit for Your Disney VacationHere’s how to tap into those signature styles—without going full cosplay—and create effortless, character-inspired looks with graphic tees, sweatshirts and hoodies that reflect the spirit of Disney.Signature Style Elements Worth NotingEvery Disney character has their thing. Mickey’s red shorts, yellow shoes and classic ears. Minnie’s polka dots and bows. Donald’s nautical vibes. Each member of the Fab Five has a look that’s uniquely theirs and it’s all about color, accessories and attitude. These signature elements are what make them iconic—and you can channel that without dressing head to toe like them.Take Minnie Mouse: her signature red-and-white polka dots are unmistakable, and her love of bows gives off playful femininity. A sweatshirt in red or black with a subtle bow detail or polka-dot pattern nods to her style without being literal.Mickey Mouse is a masterclass in minimalism—black, red, yellow. That’s it. A tee or hoodie in this palette instantly reads as Mickey-inspired, especially with vintage graphics or modern line-art versions of the character.Character-Inspired Color PalettesOne of the easiest ways to bring Disney style into your wardrobe is through color. Each character has a color story:Ariel: Seafoam green, lavender, coralBelle: Golden yellow, rose redElsa: Ice blue, silver, whiteMaleficent: Black, purple, neon greenUrsula: Deep violet, black, seafoamGoofy: Orange, green, blackDaisy Duck: Soft lavender, white, pinkOur collection at 1923 Main Street includes several pieces that subtly echo these palettes, making it easy to wear your favorite character’s vibe without a costume. A pastel hoodie in Elsa’s hues or a dark purple tee inspired by Ursula brings Disney style into your everyday look.Graphic Tees and Hoodies that Reflect Disney VibesYou don’t have to shout “Disney fan” to show your love. Many of our best-selling tees and hoodies feature clean designs, clever nods, or vintage-style prints that tap into a character’s essence without being over-the-top. For fans of Disney Villains, bold typography and moodier colorways are the way to go. Our villain-inspired designs embrace attitude and elegance—perfect for adding a bit of edge to your outfit while still staying in the Disney realm.How to Build a Character-Inspired Capsule LookThink of Disney character style the same way you’d build a capsule wardrobe: Start with a key piece, then layer in supporting elements.For example:Minnie-Inspired Look: A black graphic tee with a minimalist bow design, red high-waisted pants, white sneakers and polka-dot accessories.Mickey-Inspired Look: A red hoodie with a vintage Mickey-inspired print, black joggers and yellow sneakers.Belle-Inspired Look: A golden sweatshirt paired with rose-accented jewelry and denim for a soft, romantic vibe.Villains Look (Maleficent or Ursula): A black hoodie with bold green or violet accents, dark jeans and statement earrings.Mix and match based on your personal style—you can go subtle Disney style or a bit more bold, depending on the day.Everyday Disney Style, Your WayDisney bounding might be the gold standard for park outfits, but when it comes to everyday wear, we’re all about effortless character inspiration. Whether you’re cozying up in a hoodie that channels Mickey’s bold color scheme, or layering a tee that hints at Ariel’s sea-swept palette, there are countless ways to infuse your look with that timeless Disney spirit.At 1923 Main Street, we create pieces that celebrate the characters you love—designed for daily life, not just the parks. Because when you wear what makes you happy, you carry a little bit of Disney magic wherever you go.Want to explore the full range?

There’s something magical about stepping into the unknown, suitcase in hand and curiosity leading the way. But ask yourself this the next time you pack your bags: Are you a traveler… or a vacationer?Traveling and vacationing aren’t the same, so which one is you?It’s not about right or wrong. It’s about why you go and how you go.The Vacationer: Comfort, Convenience and Checked BoxesVacationers crave rest—and who can blame them? They’ve earned that all-inclusive escape. Their plans are polished: the resort booked, excursions mapped out, every detail wrapped in a tidy bow. They're here to relax, recharge, and maybe grab a few Instagram-worthy shots while following the path most traveled. Or maybe the vacation is a mission to do as much as possible according to plan.Either way, there’s a certain ease in that kind of trip. Predictability. Familiarity. But there’s also something… missing. That spark of discovery. That thrill of being surprised by a place. That connection to culture and community that doesn’t always fit inside a brochure.The Traveler: Curious, Open and Eager to DiscoverTravelers take the road less photographed. They don’t just want to see a place—they want to feel it. They linger in local cafés, talk to strangers, or take a wrong turn down an alleyway in an old European town just to see what’s there. They don’t mind the imperfect hotel room or the language barrier. In fact, they welcome it. Traveler’s are often lost by design, because it means they’re doing it right.To the traveler, every destination is a chance to grow. Every moment is part of a bigger story. And sometimes, the best adventures begin when the plan goes out the window.So… Which Are You?Take the quiz and find out.Do you stick to the itinerary—or stray from the script?Do you leave with a suntan—or a story?Do you chase rest—or revelation?The following 10 questions will tell your travel story.The 1923 Main Street Traveler or Vacationer QuizAnswer YES or NO to the following 10 questions. Keep track of your yes answers.Do you prefer planning the bare minimum so you can explore freely?Have you ever skipped a famous tourist site in favor of a local recommendation?Do you enjoy getting a little lost in a new city or wandering without a set agenda?Would you rather eat at a hidden neighborhood café than a popular chain?Do you love learning local customs or picking up a few words of the language?Have you ever changed your plans mid-trip just because something interesting came up?Do you travel to connect with people and culture—not just to unwind?Would you trade a five-star resort for a locally run guesthouse with character?Are you okay with a bit of discomfort if it means having a more authentic experience?Do you feel most alive when you're somewhere unfamiliar?Your Results:0–3 YES Answers: You’re more of a Vacationer—and there’s nothing wrong with that! You travel to relax, recharge, and take in the sights with comfort and ease. Just don’t forget to occasionally stray from the itinerary… magic often lives outside the guidebook.4–7 YES Answers: You’re a Hybrid Explorer. You like a balance: a comfy bed and a structured plan, but with room for curiosity. You’re open to adventure, especially when it fits into the day’s schedule. A little more freedom and spontaneity could turn your trip into a deeper story.8–10 YES Answers: You’re a True Traveler. You live for the moments that can’t be booked in advance. You seek connection over convenience and discovery over direction. Every journey is a chance to learn, grow, and get beautifully lost.

Summer can be a great time to vacation in Orlando, but visiting during July and August has some key differences that will impact what you pack and what you wear.We Bust the Myths About What You Really Need to Bring and Advice to IgnoreFor starters, Orlando summers are hot, humid and often wet. Afternoon thunderstorms are a near-daily occurrence, and temperatures hover in the high 80s to mid-90s (°F) and sometimes top 100°F. Add in the Florida humidity and you can expect to experience heat like you’ve never felt before.Still, summer vacation in Orlando can be fun and has a few benefits, as long as you’re aware of the weather and prepare for it. So how do you stay cool, dry, and comfortable while still enjoying your vacation? Here’s your essential Orlando summer packing guide:Summer Clothing for Orlando: Think Light, Breathable and Fast-Drying1. Lightweight T-Shirts and Tops When it comes to travel shirts and t-shirts, choose lightweight, moisture-wicking materials like performance blends or soft cotton. Avoid anything heavy or clingy. Thick cotton tees can get soggy quickly in the humidity or during a daily afternoon downpour.Tip: Be sure to plan your wardrobe so that you can swap out a shirt if you need to change midday after rain or sweat.2. Quick-Dry Shorts or Skorts The top pick here is athletic or casual shorts made from fast-drying and lightweight materials.   These types of shorts are more practical than denim or heavy canvas shorts, both of which hold moisture and can feel heavy and uncomfortable. Skorts are also a great option for women who want a mix of comfort and coverage.3. Comfortable Footwear You'll be walking a lot, especially in theme parks. Go for breathable sneakers or well-ventilated walking sandals with good support. Also, shoes that dry quickly after a downpour are great for summer vacations in Orlando. There are also a growing number of waterproof running shoes that are perfect for summer in Florida. Tip: Avoid flip-flops unless you’re heading to the pool or water park. If you want to wear sandals, make sure they’re made for long walking days and can handle getting wet.4. Lightweight Rain Jacket or Poncho: Yes or No? Afternoon thunderstorms roll in daily like clockwork in the summer.   If you’re a poncho person, a compact rain poncho or a lightweight, breathable rain jacket will save you from getting drenched—and cool down drafts from intense indoor A/Cs. However, these plastic wraps can also make you hot sticky and uncomfortable in the oppressive Orlando summer humidity.   Instead, we recommend a super small travel size umbrella as a better option, the kind that fold to fit in the palm of your hand. Remember, you’ll dry quickly if you don’t mind a little summer drenching. We find this preferable to wrapping ourselves in plastic and cooking in the Florida heat.5. Sun Protection Gear For the record, sun protection is always something to keep in mind. Consider the following when you pack for your Orlando summer vacation:Wide-brimmed hat or baseball capUV-blocking sunglassesSwimsuits (bring more than one)Cover-ups for pool daysOrlando Summer Heat Accessories: Do You Really Need These?You’ll often see these items recommended, but it is really worth lugging around extra gear? We don't regurgitate the same old stale advice. Here are the straight yes or no answers.1. Refillable Water Bottle (No) Staying hydrated is key in the Florida heat. An insulated refillable water bottle can keep your drink cold all day. However, many theme parks have free refill stations and you can also get free ice water at any time from any quick service restaurant at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando. So, no, we never bring a refillable water bottle, but you might want to lug one around.2. Sunscreen (Yes) Choose water- and sweat-resistant SPF 30 or higher. Reapply every couple of hours, especially if you're outside all day. 3. Small Daypack or Sling Bag (Yes)While we recommend carrying around the least possible amount of stuff, if you do have a few things, then these small bags are perfect for carrying your rain gear, water, sunscreen and snacks. Look for a water-resistant option or bring a plastic bag to protect electronics when it rains.4. Portable Fan or Cooling Towel (No)Battery-powered fans or cooling towels are often recommended while waiting in lines or walking around midday. Sure, theme parks and other stores want you to buy this stuff, but this kind of extra stuff is really not necessary. A refreshing stop in the A/C with an ice water goes a lot further than a tiny little battery fan that you have to carry around. Remember, you’re not traveling to the middle of a remote desert, so don't pack like you are (avoid the tired old repeated hype of so many "expert" travel blogs). There are plenty of better ways to stay cool (including fun theme park mister cooling stations). As far as cooling towels go, the truth is that any moistened towel or facecloth will do the exact same thing. Cooling towels marketed that way are nothing special (it's all marketing). Any towel will give you the cooling effect and this method will cool you down if you are overheated. But don't spend money on something marketed as a cooling towel. Grab a face cloth from the hotel room and you're good to go.5. Ziplock Bags or Waterproof Pouches (Maybe)These can be useful for keeping electronics or important documents safe when those summer storms hit and even for water rides where you risk getting splashed.What Not to PackHeavy clothing – You won’t wear it and it takes up bag space.Heels or fashion shoes – Choose comfort over style, especially in the summer.Thick denim jeans – Too hot and slow to dry. Not a summer essential in Orlando.Big Umbrellas – Often impractical in busy parks; we recommend a tiny palm size version.Final Thoughts on Packing for an Orlando Summer VacationPacking smart for an Orlando summer vacation is all about staying cool, dry and comfortable.Choose breathable fabrics, prepare for both heat and rain and don’t forget the sunscreen. With the right gear, you can focus less on discomfort and more on making magical memories.Bonus Tip: If you’re planning theme park days, pack a change of socks and stash them in your bag. Wet socks + walking = guaranteed blisters. Plus all onsite hotels at Walt Disney World have laundry, so dry those wet clothes or shoes if you need to.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies, dresses, swimwear and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X,

If you’re a fashionista when you travel, there’s a certain magic and charm that comes with dressing for the city you’re exploring—not to try to fully blend in, but to become part of the story told by each destination. How to dress for a trip to New York, LA, Paris, London and Rome. If You Like to Bring Outfits on Vacation, Here’s How to Do ItAt 1923 Main Street®, we believe your clothes should say as much about your journey as your photos do. Whether you’re wandering through the lively streets of New York City, café-hopping in Paris, or soaking up the west coast vibes of LA, we’ve got you covered—literally.Let’s talk travel style: unscripted, effortless and rooted in curiosity. Here's how to pack with purpose and style, wherever your itinerary takes you.Fashion-Forward Travel Outfits for Five Popular City DestinationsNew York City: Urban Pulse Meets Creative EdgeIn the city that never sleeps, your style needs to move with you—fast, fresh, and bold. For summer in NYC, keep it street-smart and breathable. Rock our Unscripted Statement graphic tee with relaxed cargo shorts or distressed denim. Swap the leather jacket for a lightweight button-down or leave it out altogether. High-top sneakers still rule, and bold sunglasses or a bucket hat add just enough edge without trying too hard. NYC style is about individuality—make a statement without shouting.For men, pair the same tee with slim, cuffed chinos or athletic shorts and standout sneakers. Leave the jacket at home, but keep the energy strong with layered chains or a structured cap. Whether you’re downtown or crossing bridges, your look should feel effortless but always on.Paris: Effortless Chic on Cobblestone StreetsParisian style thrives on thoughtful simplicity, even in the summer. Trade heavy layers for a lightweight tee or tank (our Unscripted Dare to Roam design works perfectly) paired with high-waisted shorts or a breezy midi skirt. Add minimalist sneakers and a woven bag—or yes, a beret if you’re feeling bold. The key: looking effortless while still turning heads. It’s style without the show.For men, lean into quiet sophistication with a crisp tee, tapered chinos or linen pants, and clean leather sneakers. Swap the trench for a linen overshirt if there’s a breeze. A slim watch and classic sunglasses seal the look. Parisian summer style whispers confidence—cool, collected, and always chic.Los Angeles: Laid-Back LuxeLA is home to many different categories of style, so your outfit here calls for comfort with a definite style edge. Our vintage-wash Roam Freely Wear Boldly tee is the perfect base for denim shorts, a flannel tied around the waist, and oversized sunglasses. This is a city where your look should feel as relaxed as your agenda—unplanned, free, and sun-kissed.For men, try our Unscripted Adventure Arch tee with joggers or shorts and comfy clean sneakers. Add a lightweight overshirt or open button-down for layering and finish with retro shades. London: Timeless Cool with a Rainy-Day TwistLondon style in summer is all about effortless cool and being ready for anything. Start with a breathable short-sleeve tee or linen shirt, then add tailored shorts or relaxed trousers. Swap boots for crisp white sneakers or sleek loafers, and don’t forget a lightweight tote or statement sunglasses to elevate the look. Londoners master the mix of classic and unexpected—think a retro cap or a bold crossbody to finish it off. Sun or shade, the style always shines.For men, aim for laid-back polish with clean lines—our Unscripted Statement tee is a go-to. Wear it solo or toss on a light overshirt for breezy evenings. Pair with drawstring chinos or rolled denim, and complete the outfit with low-top trainers. A minimalist watch adds that refined summer touch. Londoners know how to make sunshine look effortless.Rome: Sun-Drenched Elegance with a Hint of DramaSummer in Rome is all about effortless elegance that sizzles with style. A linen-blend tee tucked into high-waisted trousers or a flowy midi skirt is perfect for wandering cobblestone streets or sipping espresso at a café. Add strappy leather sandals and oversized sunglasses for that classic Roman holiday feel. Gold accents—think hoop earrings, a sculptural cuff, or sleek cat-eye shades—bring just the right amount of drama. In Rome, style is art. Dress like you belong in a Fellini film.For men, keep it cool and polished with the same breathable tee, tailored linen pants or dressy shorts, and a slim leather belt. Loafers or crisp white sneakers are ideal for strolling through piazzas, and vintage-inspired sunglasses add a refined finish.
