How Can I Set Up a Travel Capsule Wardrobe?
Creating a travel capsule wardrobe focuses on a small collection of versatile clothing items that are easy to mix and match. First, choose your pieces based on the purpose of your trip (beach destination vs. business trip) and the weather. From there, try to narrow down your selection to as few tops, bottoms, layers, and shoes as possible that will still create the appropriate amount of outfits you’ll need for your trip.
How Many Outfits Do I Need to Pack For a Trip?
The amount of outfits needed to create a solid vacation wardrobe will differ from person to person. To help you determine your needs, first answer two important questions. First, how many days will you be there? And second, what events or activities are planned? If you can rewear or wash any of your clothes during your stay, that will make it even easier to narrow down on the amount of outfits you need to pack!
How Many Bras and Underwear Should I Pack For Traveling?
It’s always a good idea to pack a pair of panties for each day of your trip, plus a couple more. You never know when that extra pair will come in handy. When it comes to bras, if you find a style that goes with all of the outfits you packed, you might just need one. For longer trips, you might want to pack a couple, especially if you won’t have any way to wash your bra.
How Do You Pack to Save Space?
Aside from choosing versatile pieces that’ll create multiple outfits, there are a few additional ways to save space when packing. The rolling method is a popular way to fold underwear, base layers, and non-bulky fabrics that optimize the available room in your suitcase. Also, using packing cubes helps compress clothing and keep everything organized!
