The one problem with this is that there is no fashionable true gym shoe for serious amateur athletes or workout clothes on your list. I workout religiously and work travel is no exception. I need Hokas for knee and back issues to workout (no cute Converse or Veja for the gym). Your formula works to a point. I never wear Hokas as a fashion sneaker so those go in my carry on. The work shoes need to be functional and stylish, usually somewhat funky (I opt for Docs, Sorel, or Fluevog.) I would love to pack pumps but they can’t trudge through an airport and I would not be caught dead wearing Hokas for fashion.
Great point! I find that New Balance 530s (for running) or Adidas gazelles (for weight lifting) strike a pretty good balance between workout functionality and style. For more walkable work shoes, I'd go with something a thick-soled loafer or a pair of comfy flats.
This is an excellent start. It seems like this trip is intended as two work days plus travel and sightseeing days? That would be helpful to know. Would also love to see a shot of the suitcase. Can you fit it all in your carryon rolly? Agree with the prior post that workout sneakers are key - the workout clothes are small but I guess one would need to wear running shoes on the plane (which is not a professional look).
Thanks, Rose! Yes, it all fits in a rolling carry-on. I have the Away, but most carry-ons should work. I'll try to include a shot of the suitcase next time :)
I shared a couple outfits for each scenario as an example, but you could definitely tweak the combos to work for more office days or more sightseeing days, depending on what you have planned. Here are a few more ideas for office outfits:
Sylvie dress with the Kiki sweater on top (or draped over your shoulders)
Ayla jacket + Natasha turtleneck + Bia pants
Filomina shirt + Allyn pants + Curtis trench
See my reply above for more thoughts on workout shoes. I'm impressed that you're all maintaining your workout schedules while traveling - I'm inspired!!
