How to Pack for an All-Inclusive Vacation

Stereotypically, men are notorious under-packers when it comes to going on vacation. Sometimes they forget essentials, like underwear. Sometimes they don’t have an accurate assessment of what they will need. Well, the embarrassment of scouring your suitcase only to turn up empty handed ends now. This year, when you’re planning your tropical all-inclusive vacation (you lucky dog!), check out our selection of men’s big and tall clothing. We’ll ensure that you have all of your vacation essentials.

Clothing Essentials for Big and Tall Men

Packing for vacation can be a bit odd when you’re leaving a colder climate with somewhere warm and sunny as your destination. One of our fleece jackets will go a long way in helping with the temperature transitions. Another thing you should do is make sure you have the basics for big and tall men ready to go. Some basic things that every man uses are:

Underwear and undershirts

Socks – a cotton/nylon blend works very well as they dry quicker. These socks are ideal for warm and cold days.

Big and Tall Pajamas. Even if you sleep without them, just imagine if there’s a late night fire alarm and you have nothing quick to jump into?

Good walking shoes that are already broken in.

Shorts. Preferably with plenty of pockets to stash wallets, digital cameras, water, snacks, and anything else you may need on your adventure.

If you’re unsure of your plans, it’s always a good idea to have some fancier options, in case you need to suit up:

A cotton/polyester button down may be a bit warmer, but these shirts are far less wrinkly than their counterparts. Time spent ironing is time that could have been spent sightseeing.

However, lightweight cotton pants are a cooler option than jeans.

A tie will add instant respectability to your evening wear.

It is also a good idea to cater your men’s big and tall clothing to whatever the weather could throw at you:

Bring two big and tall swimsuits instead of one. If you’ve ever put on a wet bathing suit, you’ll understand why.

Flip flops or sandals for the beach or pool are a great way to save your feet from the scalding sand

Bring a weatherproof windbreaker with a hood in case you have the misfortune of going during a wet season.

Extra Items to Include

While packing your men’s big and tall clothing, a few accessories can save you a lot of headaches later on. Sunglasses are must in any sunny climate. A money belt would not be a bad investment either, to keep your money and valuables safe. If you plan on living out of your suitcase, a laundry bag is a great way to keep your clean and dirty clothes separate. Don’t forget items to protect you from whatever nature throws at you, such as:

Bug spray

Sunblock

Hand sanitizer

Anti-bacterial wipes

Sewing kit

How to Pack Your Men’s Big and Tall Clothing

If you are travelling with someone, like a spouse, be sure to pack half of your items in one suitcase and the other half in the other and vice versa for your spouse. If the airline loses your baggage, you’ll have half of your big and tall men’s essentials. Also, pack items that you can’t be without in your carry-on. Keep medications in their original packaging, but keep in mind that due to security issues, those may have to be packed in your checked baggage.
