Want to pack a suitcase perfectly? Often, we end up with a suitcase full of things we never use on our trip. Sound familiar? It happens to us all. Here are some tips to help you choose clothes smartly, so you can create great outfits without bringing everything you own.
1. Basic or Casual Clothes: Pack clothes in universal colors like pastels, which are easy to mix and match. This way, you won’t spend too much time coordinating your outfits. A white top or T-shirt is versatile and perfect for summer because it matches everything.
2. Comfortable Clothes and Shoes: Comfort is key when traveling. Bring shoes that you know won’t hurt your feet. Avoid those stylish but uncomfortable pairs—they’ll likely go unworn and just take up space.
3. Foldable Items: Opt for foldable items as they are lightweight and don’t fill up your suitcase. If you have options, always choose the foldable versions.
4. Wrinkle-Free Clothes: It’s frustrating to find your clothes wrinkled after unpacking. Pick materials like polyester, cashmere, knit, or denim that look good even after being packed for hours.
5. Skip Large Jewelry: There’s a risk of losing or damaging big pieces of jewelry during travel. Unless you need them for a specific event, opt for a simpler, minimalist style instead.
