These are not the clothes of a person who goes out yo a nice dinner each night on vacation.

since this is in general parenting, I am assuming it is a trip and not a vacation. With children, going out every night to a nice restaurant is not my idea of a fun time.

Bring two nice outfits and wear them alternating nights. No need to wear something different each night.

We bring a nanny on our trips, so that they CAN be a fun time.

It’s interesting to me that as an adult you would need to ask what to pack.

After the beach day/shower I put on clean clothes. Then the next day if I need clothes before bathing suit time I wear those same clothes again. So it’s still just one outfit a day. I may throw in a dress or two but nothing fancy. I don’t go to the beach to dress up. Some days it’s literally pjs to bathing suit to shower back to pjs.

Pack cotton dresses that you can dress up a bit for dinner with shoes and accessories. If you put them on right after you shower in the late afternoon and only wear for 2 hrs at dinner, you can re-wear the cotton dress the next AM for your sightseeing with sandals or casual sneakers. Repeat each night/am.

This year we are going for 5 nights and will probably take 3-4 outfits each. The house we rent has a washer and dryer and we make use of it.

Unless the morning outfit got gross from sweat, I’d rewear it for dinner.

I’m an over-packer. If there is no washer available, I can’t do one pair of pj’s for a week. I also don’t rewear outfits without washing them. I hate packing.

I have never taken a trip like this. It honestly sounds like a really long day to go sightseeing, then change into swim stuff and pack up all the gear for only a few hours, then lug it all back, get all the sand off, showers and then sit through a dinner. I am more likely to do a day of sightseeing then a day of beach, etc. Also, are you driving or flying and do you have access to a washing machine or not? If driving and laundry access, bring whatever clothes you need. If flying and/or no laundry, try to minimize or re-wear (like 3 dress lady).

Morning outfit. Beachwear. After shower outfit. PJs.

4 total.

You must someone who travels with 10 suitcases.

One outfit, washed and reworn several times, for each “activity”: beach, house, town, other (usually sport). One bag. Done.

I re-wear the dinner outfits. So for a week it would be 3 dresses, not seven.

How many outfits do you pack for beach trips if you have regular activities like sightseeing before and meals after on many days?

I may be overpacking but is two outfits planned for a day should you go back out after the beach average? Beachwear consists of coverups and swimwear under do I don’t count those.
