Published on August 25, 2019, these expert tips cover everything from wearing your heaviest clothing to utilizing shoe space and planning your outfits before you go.
1. Wear Your Heaviest Clothing ¶
Don't waste precious space in your luggage by packing your heaviest items. Wear your boots and carry your coat in your hands instead.
2. Invest in Packing Cubes ¶
Packing cubes are a game-changer for organizing your luggage and making the most of your space. Choose breathable materials and avoid plastic cubes that can trap moisture.
3. Store Items in Shoes ¶
Make the most of your shoe space by storing items like socks, perfume, and other small essentials inside. This will not only save space but also protect fragile items during transit.
4. Invest in Insoles ¶
Save your feet from discomfort and blisters by investing in insoles for your shoes. This is a cost-effective and comfortable solution for long trips.
5. Get a Dirty Shoe Bag ¶
Protect your clothes from dirt and stains by carrying your shoes in a disposable laundry bag. This is especially useful for trips with multiple shoe changes.
6. Don't Pack the Soap ¶
Hotels usually provide soap and toiletries, so there's no need to pack them. Leave space for your own personal items and face wash.
7. Toiletry Bags Are Gold ¶
Store all your liquids and toiletries in a toiletry bag to keep them organized and prevent damage to your clothes.
8. Less is Always More ¶
Don't overpack – it's better to pack light and enjoy a less stressful trip. Remove unnecessary items the night before your trip to avoid clutter and make the most of your space.
9. Plan Before You Go ¶
Plan your outfits before you go to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched, and don't forget to consider the color palette of your destination.
