Most people are happy to do anything with their friends. If you have solid group of friends, then simply getting together and spending quality time as a group is sufficient to make you happy. However, that doesn’t suggest that you cannot push the boat a bit and do things that are more challenging and fun every now and then.
Take, for example, going on a trip together. This can be an awesome way to deepen the relationship you have already got. There’s no scarcity of fun vacations you can take as a group! One of the more elegant ones is the stylish ride, which is in big style.
In this blog, we’ll cover some key tips that will make sure that your trip is stylish from start to finish.
where to go
First things first: choose a destination that will let you live a life of luxury. All objectives have plus points, but not all score high on the stylish front. In general, big cities are the way to go. If you are on the east coast then New York City would be the evident choice. If you are on the west coast, then Los Angeles could be the way to go. It’s all about choosing a place that has the qualities of restaurants, bars and hotels you need to live well.
Where to stay
You want the class to walk through every element of your journey. That means you must find the perfect accommodation for you and your friends! There are many options. You can look at Airbnb and choose a luxury home or apartment that can accommodate everybody. It’s best if you find a place that has a balcony with a view, a pool or spa, or something really out of the ordinary.
Dress up
Classiness is not just something you experience. It’s something you do. A big part of your stylish trip is the clothes you wear. During the day, it does not matter what thread you have. But at night? That’s your chance to actually take things to the next class level. Men can wear sharp suits (which are a little bit fashionable, not the usual office attire), while women can wear the most elegant dresses and the most fashionable make-up.
Fine Dining
Most of us cannot eat at the best restaurants. After all, they’re expensive! But when you are on a trip full of class, it is worth pushing the boat out and eating at a high-end restaurant. You may not be going to the best in town (particularly if you are in a place like New York; reservations can be hard to come by!), but so long as this is a fine dining establishment you should be fine. It’s sure to be a step up from the hyper-casual places you and your friends are used to.
Cocktail Bar
And what’s classier than a cocktail bar? There are lots of bars you can hang around at, but a cocktail bar is an awesome place to go when you are looking to have a stylish night out. Even the bartenders will dress up! If you are not sure what type of cocktail you are attempting to find, ask the staff. They will become experts in cocktail making and will absolutely create something delicious for you. Want to make your cocktail experience even better? Pair with a cigar. If you are in a place with a balcony, you can smoke in style while enjoying an awesome drink. Life does not get much more fun than that.
Travel Enhancement
If you are using this kind to celebrate a special occasion, why not make one addition special? You may consider increasing your booking so you have a better experience. For example, if you fly, can you all upgrade to business class? It can be more cost-effective than many people think. Plus, it is arguably one of the things you should do at least once in your life, so why not when you are traveling with your best friend?
Other upgrades to consider include your accommodations. If you are staying at a hotel, then there may be premium suites that you can get for only a small amount of money.
Visit Spas
Having a stylish vacation is all about indulging in the finer things in life. And for many, there’s nothing quite like spending the day at a high-end spa. You’ll be pampered, you will relax, and you will leave a spa feeling on top of the world. It’s the perfect way to warm up on a stylish night out on the town with your friends. If you are visiting something near a major city, you will have several options at your disposal. Try to choose one that’s big on ambiance in addition to facilities. Alternatively, you can choose a hotel that has a spa — which tends to make things easier!
Upscale Shopping
And while we’re talking fun, why not grab some new clothes while you are on the go too? If you are one of those people who only visits basic stores when they need to pack their clothes, then luxury shopping can be a revelation. You do not have to spend plenty of money either. It’s all about visiting boutique stores rather than luxury brand stores. You and your friends will have plenty of fun trying on outfits and leaving with some pretty new items. Plus, it will provide you with something else to wear while you are on the go!
Soundtracks
There’s all the time a soundtrack for your journey. Away from background noise; it helps to define the trip. So while you are trying to make a playlist for your getaway with friends, try picking out some stylish hits of all time. There are tons of genres to pick from — big band, classical, jazz. Leave pop and radio hits behind until you get back home.
You can take this idea even further by hitting up a music club while you are there. We do not mean nightclubs (even though if there is a place like Studio 54 you are visiting, by all means!). In New York, for example, there are several great jazz bar which will let you experience New York to its fullest. There’s something magical about dressing up and getting a yellow cab to a jazz club!
Everything in Style
In the end, elegance is not just something you must tap into here and there while you are on the move. It can be something that can feed everything what you do. When doubtful about how to act, seek guidance from some of history’s most fashionable men. Audrey Hepburn seems to do everything with style, so follow her lead! There are plenty of opportunities to have fun when you are with your nearest and dearest. This trip should be the opposite!
Conclusion
In our opinion, not enough people take the time to bring class and style into their lives. It’s one of those things that may sound expensive or difficult to do, but it does not must be one of those things. Indeed, so long as you are all dressed sharp and you are ready to have fun, you will be there. And you will not regret your decision to take a trip like this. Be sure to take lots of photos: this will be a trip you’ll want to look back on for years to come.
