Going on a summer holiday is your chance to relax, unwind and enjoy well-deserved rest. But, getting the balance right can sometimes be a challenge. From busy itineraries to scorching hot weather, sometimes you can return feeling like you need another break. We believe comfort is key when it comes to making sure you are getting the most out of your trip. Whether it be getting ahead with your planning or choosing the right socks, here is our guide of comfort tips for a truly relaxing time away.
Pack in Advance
For those amongst us who love to leave things until last-minute, this one’s for you. The first way you can beat any pre-holiday stress is to pack far in advance. We suggest making your packing list of summer holiday essentials a month before you jet off, so you can make sure you’re allowing yourself enough time to buy anything you may need. Then, start packing a week before your trip, creating extra lists along the way for the items you need to pack on the day of travel (we don’t want anyone to forget their toothbrush do we?)
Say Hello to a Digital Detox
We all understand that it can be very tempting to check your phone (or even worse your work email) whilst you’re away to make sure nothing has burnt down in your absence, but this is a definite way for you to ruin any chance of relaxation. On holiday, put yourself and your family on a digital detox and switch off any unnecessary notifications, encouraging everyone to spend more time in the moment. As your head starts to adjust to taking in the scenery around you, you’ll soon appreciate the time spent away from your phone.
Prioritise Rest
Whilst it can be tempting to fill every moment of your holiday with plans to make the most of your destination, an overly packed itinerary can become overwhelming and lead to the very tiredness you hoped to avoid. A great rule of thumb for how to manage your schedule is to make sure you’re spreading any big activities out, giving yourself a lovely few hours in the afternoon to relax on the beach or by the pool. Whether you’re exploring the local town and sightseeing or enjoying a coastal walk, ensure you are splitting your time evenly between discovering hidden gems and catching well-deserved rest.
Beat the Heat on Your Feet
Even if you enjoy basking in the sun and catching a tan, there’s one thing for certain no one appreciates: hot, sweaty feet. Our IOMI FootNurse PermaCool socks are a must-have to keep feet cool and comfortable throughout your holiday. With innovative cooling technology, these cool summer socks keep air moving over your feet, sweeping any moisture away. If you’re planning on wearing trainers, team them with our PermaCool Cooling trainer socks so you can fully focus on your holiday walks without letting sweaty feet ruin the fun.
Dress to Impress
If you treat every evening on holiday like a fashion show with the restaurant strip as your runaway, make sure you do it in true style with our range of stylish socks. If you’re wearing a minimalist outfit, we recommend including a pop of colour with our colourful socks from the Colourburst range, for Ladies and Men.
For socks that add personality to your outfit and are sure to impress your fellow holiday goers, our novelty patterned socks from our Fun Feet collection include a range of unique motifs that are ideal for adding a playful flair. If you’re looking for a ‘His and Hers’ style, our Ladies Seabed socks and Men’s Deep Sea socks are perfect for couples who want to dive into matching comfort together.
Now all that’s left to do is make your list, pack your bags, and put the rest of our tips into practice as you begin your next adventure. Whether you’re chasing sunshine, exploring new places or simply enjoying some well-earned downtime, a comfortable holiday is a happy holiday. So slip into your comfortable socks, soak up the memories and let your feet enjoy the adventure too.
