If there’s one thing I have a problem with when it comes to travel clothing it is that it’s not always very attractive. You may not always want to look like you’re on safari or ready to hike through the rainforest, so you may not be looking at your local outdoor store for items to stock your travel bag. Luckily, not all travel clothes are created equal. With Anatomie Wear, you’ll look more like you’re ready to board a yacht than be the host on Survivor.

As you know, I’m a firmbeliever in quality over quantity and Anatomie shares those same values. Theydon’t have the largest selection of travel clothes for women, but what they do have works together to create agorgeous travel wardrobe. They are by no means cheap clothes, but they areattractive and indestructible, meaning you can wear these classic pieces formany years. The longer they last, the more value you’ll get out of them. I owna lot of active wear and it’s discouraging when you find them starting to fadeafter several washes. One of the things that attracted me to Anatomie, besideshow pretty they are, was the review that I saw that claimed they washed theirpants at least 100 times and they still look brand new. That’s hard to find.


Getting on board with thenautical trend that is carrying over from last year, I chose a navy palette formy Anatomie outfit. I was really excited to try out the SusanSkinnies and the MonteCarlo long sleeve top. I’ve shown them together and separate, soyou can see that not only will they work with other Anatomie items, but theycan integrate into your current wardrobe. That’s great if you can’t afford morethan a few pieces at a time.

The Susan Skinnies are one ofthe best pairs of travel pants I’ve encountered. They are true to size, lookand feel great, plus they weigh less than you expect, which means they willtake up very little room in your carry-on. The have a great fit that isn’t tootight or too loose, they make my butt look good and they don’t make theswish-swish noise like some quick-dry travel pants do.

I love the zipper details onthe pockets and the legs. I’ve worn these to work and they were supercomfortable sitting at a desk all day. Even though they can work for a dressyoccasion, they can also be casual-looking if you throw on a tank top ort-shirt. If you’re traveling somewhere cold, you can still pack these pants.Invest in some base bottom layers to throw on under them. You’ll look put togetherand keep warm.

Here are the other featuresyou’re going to love about the Susan Skinnies (and all other Anatomie pants):

• They never wrinkle!
• They are stain-resistant.
• They only weigh 6 oz.
• They are ultra-quick-drying - Anatomie claims they can be dried in 10 mins!
• They are made from the finest fabrics.
• They have stretch to make them even morecomfortable.

You can never go wrong withresort wear. It looks good on everyone and, unless you are vacationingsomewhere cold, it works for just about any trip. The navy and white MonteCarlo top will be a fabulous addition to your travel bag and will look perfectnext to the pool and at a romantic dinner. It pairs soft viscose with mesh toshow some skin and create interest. Throw it on over your bikini top or a tanktop for two totally different looks that both make you look like a millionbucks.

While you can wear the Monte Carlowith your Susan Skinnies, it also elevates the look of a simple pair of Bermudas.Mixing and matching is incredibly important to packing light and if you onlybuy a few pieces of Anatomie Wear, I’d definitely suggest a pair of pants, apair of shorts and a tank. It’s easy to branch out with these staple pieces andthey will still look as good as when you first bought them when you add newitems to your Anatomie collection. More luxurious pieces, like the Monte Carlo,can go far as well, as they are multi-functional. With the lightweight nature oftheir clothing, you can pack eight coordinating pieces, easily, in a carry-onand still have room left for your sunscreen, beauty products, accessories andseveral pairs of shoes. What girl doesn’t want to pack more if they can?

So, if you want to lookfantastic and feel comfortable on your travels, make sure you check outAnatomie clothing. As I say with so many other things, the prices aren’t cheap,but the clothing is made for the long haul. Whether you are hard on your travelclothing or not, it’s hard to turn your nose up at the word “indestructible”.These are pieces that can live in your carry-on for many years to come and thatyou’ll be glad you invested in, because they don’t look like you skimped onthem at all.
