Travel in style for summer: Go sleek Associated Press Copyright 2012 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 10:53 a.m., Thursday, July 5, 2012 The coveted look for vacationers this summer is sleek and chic — with an emphasis on sleek. People are thinking about packing light at all stages of the traveling process: from what suitcases they'll use to the souvenirs they'll buy. Stylist Amanda Ross, fashion director for travel-themed Departures magazine, says she thinks about packing when she's doing her initial shopping. There are more FedEx boxes of clothes and accessories coming into the lobby of Manhattan's upscale Mondrian SoHo than one might imagine — and fewer luxury-brand suitcases that would complement the handbags that its typical fashion-savvy guests carry, says hotel General Manager Gary Thomas. "The weight issue has become huge, especially in the past year," agrees Dan Tarala, vice president of product design and strategy for Victorinox Travel Gear. [...] consumers want to shed weight without losing any of the features they have come to like or looks they want to wear. Hard-side suitcases made of polycarbonate, as opposed to soft leather or nylon bags, are gaining wider acceptance, Tarala says. Hotels expect to provide many grooming products, especially with the liquid limits on airplanes, and many hotels, even — and maybe especially — those in remote locations have retail stores. Buying an umbrella, sweater or rain jacket is probably a smarter souvenir than a tchotchke, he says.
