The Ultimate Summer Packing List for Your Teen's First Big Road Trip
3. Appropriate Clothing and Footwear
Packing the right clothing helps your teen stay comfortable and prepared for weather changes. They'll want to take weather-appropriate outfits and light layers, such as a hoodie or jacket. They should also bring comfortable walking shoes, sleepwear, and swimwear if they're headed somewhere with a beach or pool.
Unexpected weather shifts or spontaneous activities are part of the road trip experience. When your teen packs versatile clothing, it can prevent discomfort and unnecessary purchases.
