When you are planning a trip, the most challenging part might not be what sights to see first or which restaurant has the best deal on dinner. For men, women and children, the frustrating part might happen even before you leave home for the airport. Trying to pack a week’s worth of outfits into one suitcase can be virtually impossible. That’s why travel clothing is so appealing and becoming more and more popular.
We’ve all heard the horror stories about how much luggage goes missing each year. If you happen to be the victim of disappearing baggage you know exactly what it feels like. Not only does it ruin your entire vacation if the bag goes astray on the way to your destination, but if you lose it on the way back, all the souvenirs you collected may be just a distant memory. Packing light so you can carry-on your belongings removes all fear that they’ll be misplaced. With travel clothing you can pack everything you need in just one small bag.
Choosing a color scheme for the outfits you plan on wearing is really the key to packing light. This can be a challenge for women but if you give it some effort, you’ll find that you can pack fewer things and still enjoy just as many outfits. For example a pair of jeans can be worn both during the day and in the evening. With a white t-shirt they’ll keep you stylish and cool all day, when paired with a glittery black top you can go clubbing all night. The key to packing travel clothing is choosing things that can be worn more than once in different ways.
Another thing to consider is bringing fewer items and washing them while you are away. Some fabrics just don’t wash well. They need to be pressed after washing and drying and they’ll wrinkle even when in the suitcase. Leave these at home and instead opt for travel clothing that is wrinkle-resistant. Imagine placing a few shirts and skirts in a suitcase only to find them looking great once you arrive at your travel destination.
| Quote of the Day |
... one of those fortunate men who, if they were to dive under one side of a barge stark-naked, would come up on the other with a new suit of clothes on, and a ticket for soup in the waistcoat-pocket.
| —Charles Dickens (1812–1870) |

Also bear in mind when you are packing what the temperature is like at your final destination. If it’s warm, you are only going to need one pair of long pants along with one sweater for the evening breeze. If you wear these on the airplane, you’ll be affording yourself much more room within the bag. Layering while flying is also a great idea, as sometimes the travel clothing we wear during the trip leaves us either too hot or too cold while in flight. If you have on a t-shirt and a sweater you can easily remove the latter if you get too warm or put it back on if you feel chilly.
Smart planning is really all it takes. By mixing and matching and choosing easy to care for fabrics, your suitcase will be lighter and you’ll worry much less about what to wear while you are away.
