<\/p>\nA TV fashion guru has revealed the shoe rule he always follows whenever he travels – and why you should never pack flip flops.<\/p>\n
Footwear is one of the easiest items to fill a suitcase with, so holidaymakers need to be disciplined with which shoes they take and which they leave behind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One person who knows this all too well is Queer Eye star Tan France, who has come up with a strategy to make sure he doesn't fill his case with footwear, while still packing enough pairs to offer versatility.<\/p>\n
His three-shoe rule includes packing one option to wear on the ride, and two further options for his carry-on luggage.<\/p>\n
To save space, he always recommends wearing the biggest pair for the journey, with the smaller two packed in his bag.<\/p>\n
However, he also recommends bringing something more comfortable to slip into once the plane or train sets off.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He told Real Simple: \u201cThe longer the train or plane ride, the more important that you take on that chunky shoe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always got, in my backpack or bag, a pair of thin slippers that I will change into as soon as I get on the plane."<\/p>\n
In his carry-on luggage, Tan has two further pairs of footwear for the rest of his holiday.<\/p>\n
One of which is a "lightweight sneaker, perfect for walking around the city all day\u2026from train to tube to bus and still feeling comfortable.\u201d <\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Tan insists that these shoes should be ones you don't mind getting dirty, as they'll be worn if it rains. <\/p>\n Finally, he suggests packing a pair of leather sandals over a pair of flip-flops, for both style and practical reasons.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cWhy not a flip-flop? Even at the pool, rubber flip-flops don\u2019t exude chic. In contrast, leather sandals are easy to clean, comfortable to wear, and just as versatile."<\/p>\n Tan has previously revealed other tips he uses when he travels, particularly if he's trying not to be spotted out an about.<\/p>\n He told Travel + Leisure he does this by blending in with outfits people wouldn't expect him to wear, of course while remaining stylish.<\/p>\n He said: "I don't want people to know it's me and I don't think anyone expects me to wear sweats and a baseball cap. <\/p>\n "I also don't look like most people and if you spot my hair you know it's me in about a second. So I cover up as much as physically possible and then it is very rare that they can tell.<\/p>\n "But the sweats are very nice and it is a full ensemble and I will wear a beautiful coat over it, but it is casual."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, this A-list actor has revealed the clothes he thinks you should always wear when flying.<\/p>\n And this is why\u00a0dressing smart\u00a0might not ever get you an upgrade.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2021-easyjet-rejected-unsolicited-takeover-744883919-2.jpg\")
