Styled by Rufaro Styling

Rufaro Styling

Are you looking for ethical travel outfit ideas?

The Look is a section to highlight brands highly committed to sustainability and an inspirational mood-board for your next modern conscious traveller look!

For this issue, my friend Joy, who runs the IG page Rufaro Styling, took over the section to put a spotlight on practical and light pieces that you can easily use for both day and night looks during your next holiday, always in the spirit to pack light luggage.

Rufaro Styling is a workwear fashion blog, focused on empowering corporate women through contemporary workwear, whilst building a community of like-minded professionals.  Joy also works as a Vice President at an Investment bank, working on the firm’s sustainability approach as well as managing the firm’s environmental and social risk issues.

Believing that personal style is about expression, communication and connection, Joy’s goal is to find a style that suits and represents you. While picking her “Look” pieces, Joy has been inspired by one of Be MyJourney escapes in the Italian countryside.

Picture yourself wearing this outfit while unwinding and enjoying the Italian way of living during your next Journey in Italy.
