Linen Pants and Black Tank: A Travel Outfit
Sometimes, the simplest outfits are the best outfits. I wore these pants on the way from the US to Georgia and for the car ride from Tbilisi to Batumi as well as our flight back to the US. Our flight out of Tbilisi was not till 9 PM, so we had one last day visiting the city before heading to the airport. We had a great time walking and discovering a couple new spots once again. Once was the remnant of the fortress we had seen from the botanical gardens the first day. There is not much left to it, just parts of a tower.
We went past the Turkish baths and discovered this bridge with the love locks on it. The bridge was there before, but I do not remember the locks.
We walked down one bridge to the river and then to our surprise found a tunnel with artwork and photographs leading to the main large river: the Kura River.
On that side we were pretty much at the level of the water (which was really high from all of the rain) and the path ended at a dock. This was very strategic as it was a place that advertised pontoon tours on the river. We actually had made fun of people that were paying for this activity, but we actually took a tour and we had a great time. Of course, it would have been more picturesque had the river not been muddy and brown, but it was really neat to see the city from a different angle.
We then said goodbye to the city after another wonderful meal. We had a great 2 week vacation and now are thinking ahead to our next destination abroad. My thoughts? Summer 2026 in Spain.
A bientôt!

I was glad for the length of the pants when we walked to this little fortress: it kept the weeds/bushes off my legs.

That is a fabulous outfit! I tend to wear tanks with linen pants for travel too and often top it with a long sleeved cardigan or jean shirt for the cooler air conditioned airports.

It is so simple but sure works well for traveling! I am thinking it will be my go to when we go to the beach in the fall (I do need to book that soon!)

You look cool and comfortable in this simple outfit. The crossbody strap looks really great with it too!

That strap was a good sales point as well as the size of the bag. I ordered 2 different ones and this was a keeper right vs the other which I returned.

Definitely comfy is key and yet you still looked stylish. Funny about the pontoon boats,

Thanks, Kathrine! I hadn’t originally planned to take pictures for a whole blog post but it was so picturesque!

A lovely travel outfit, comfortable and stylish. You look very trim and toned, your exercise routine is clearly working. Great pics. Thanks for linking

Thank you! Part of it was that I was having stomach issues on the trip but we did walk a lot and most of it was steep hills: great way to stay in shape!

My sister loves Spain and has been several times, so yes to that being your next destination. It looks like you guys kept discovering cool things to the very end of your trip, literally. Travel is my favorite way to spend money and the memories truly do last forever.

Yes! To both the favorite way to spend money we’ve saved is the vacations and how pretty the things around Batumi were.

HI MIrelle, I love the colour combination of your outfit. For some reason I’m reluctant to wear linen because it creases easily. I need to get over that and your post has inspired me to do that. The scenery where you have taken the photos is stunning! Thanks for sharing at #WeekendTrafficJamReboot and have a lovely weekend. x

I really don’t mind the wrinkles with the pants. I just bought a linen skirt a couple weeks ago and I have worn it for pics but not in real life. I did iron it. I will see if the wrinkles bother me, but I think I loved the skirt’s style well enough that it won’t bother me. We shall see.
