Whether or not you buy clothes specifically designed
for travel is up to you and your budget. I usually mix a few travel
specialty clothing items in with of my regular clothing, but doing so is a
luxury not a necessity. If you will only be traveling a very short time or
have an extremely tight budget, then don't worry about buying special
clothes for your trip.What makes travel
