Travel outfit - Winter in Europe to Maldives

[paap1975]

I'm really stuck for what to wear to travel from European winter to tropical Maldives. Layers, I guess, but what? Also needs to be loose fitting and conservative.

Ideally, I'd like it to work with trainers, so I can wear my running shoes instead of having to pack them (limited luggage for seaplane)

I'm 5'8 and a size 12/14 (pear)

Thanks for your help!

i would wear:

harem trousers
a t shirt
a jumper
coat that can fit into rucksack
trainers

How are you getting to the airport?

If it's by car, just wear would you would normally wear when you go in the summer as you're not going to be exposed to the European weather for long - with a light cardigan over anything sleeveless for "decency". I always take a wrap for the plane though.

I've also done it where I've just done a quick change (or at least a layer removal!) at the airport at the other end.

Have a lovely time!

Maxi dress with leggings underneath and a jumper on top, then take the leggings and jumper off mid-flight.

Good call.

7/8 stretchy trousers, tee shirt, thin cashmere sweater, pashmina and a down jacket that gets left in the car.
I'd take a bikini , spare underwear & sunglasses in hand luggage as sometimes the seaplane gets full and hold luggage comes later,

Thanks for your input. My understanding is that leggings are not appropriate for the culture, so I think I'll go with harem pants or something similar. I think layers are going to be the key...
