12 Picks for Your Warm Weather Escape

Polar Vortex, ice storms and deep freeze are just some of the chillier-than-normal weather conditions this winter has foisted on us.

If you have had enough and are ready to pack your bags for a sunny tropical destination or a relaxing cruise, you might need a few things to give yourself a spiffier image while you’re strolling down a promenade, relaxing at the bar poolside or dining under the stars.

That’s right, old T-shirts and tattered shorts are not going to cut it. After all, show some respect to the locals. Also some cruise ships are bucking the all-too-casual trend by implementing dress codes for dinner times, and some resorts are enforcing a dressier code of attire for their dining venues.

Don’t look at it as a chore. The stores are already brimming with warm weather clothing (retailers are always dreamers!), and picking out a few colourful things should lift one’s spirits from winter’s doldrums.

Besides, when you return, your vacation attire will be ready for their next outing – spring and summer.
