Whether you are going on a business trip or personal vacation, packing light is essential for embracing the chaos of travel. Keeping everything in one carry-on means more saving in baggage fees and less time spent in airports. Here, I will show you how to choose your outfits and travel light.
Before packing, there are a few things you need to keep it in mind:
- Consider lightweight luggage or duffle for carry-on
- Bring only essential items
- Pack for the best-case scenario
- Avoid bulky coats
- Stick with trial size toiletries.
Lay it out
Place everything you think you might need on the floor. Eliminate items you can do without. When in doubt, leave it out.
Mix & match outfits
Use mix & match approach to change your look. Make sure each outfit, shoes, and accessory matches several other items. This will also give you more flexibility to adjust for different weathers.
Dress it up or down
Bring outfits that can be easily dressed up or down. For example, a simple shift dress can go casual with ballerina flat. But, pairing the dress with a high-heels and blazer will give you a more polished look.
Wear the bulkiest items in transit
Wear thicker or heavier items when you fly, you will be able to pack more lightweight items in your luggage. Instead of packing jeans and jackets, wear them. It will also keep you warm during the flight.
Roll, roll, roll
Roll your clothes individually. It will fit much more neatly and compactly into luggage than flat, folded clothes. This method can also save space and avoid wrinkles.
If you pack smart and plan ahead, you can still fit a wide range of outfit options in a single carry-on. Here is an example of how to mix-and-match 7 pieces of clothing for a 10-day trip:
