When selecting clothes for travel, look for lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant fabrics. Synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex blends are excellent choices. They’re lightweight, quick-drying, and often wrinkle-resistant. Plus, they tend to be more durable and stain-resistant than natural fibers.
