Guide – Ready, set, travel
As temperatures climb and outdoor activities beckon, it’s time to gear up for summer vacation adventures. Whether you’re jet-setting to Europe or going on a spontaneous road trip down Route 66, ensuring your packing list is well-equipped is essential. Here are a few of our favorite packing tips.
1. Roll clothes and pack them first
This one may be a bit obvious, but in addition to rolling clothes to save space and prevent wrinkles, packing your clothes first is key. Packing cubes also help keep outfits organized. While you may be tempted to pack shoes in the bottom, it’s easier to fit them in the odd spaces on top. To combat dirt, place them in shoe bags, or at least turn them upside down.
2. Choose your shoes wisely
When it comes to packing like a pro, start from the ground up. Since shoes are the bulkiest part of luggage, it’s important to choose them wisely. Pick out your favorite and most versatile pairs. Use the inside of solid shoes for extra storage. Nude-colored sandals or heels, sneakers and flip-flops are the most flexible shoes.
3. Choose travel-friendly fabrics
When traveling, choose knits and stretchy fabrics. Woven fabrics like linen, cotton or twill are more prone to wrinkles. Even if your knits get wrinkles, simply hanging them will typically eliminate the suitcase wrinkles. A steamy bathroom helps.
4. Avoid under-packing
Yes, that’s right. We all know not to over pack, but it’s just as important not to under pack. Leaving extra space for souvenirs causes items to shift, crumpling or breaking them. If you must pack less, fill empty spaces with foldable bags (for those souvenirs) or dry cleaner bags.
5. Make a packing list by activity
An easy way to make packing a little less daunting is to break up your list into occasions. Write out all the activities you must pack for (beach, shopping, bike ride, dinner). Once you have a better idea of what you will be doing, you can take that into account when deciding which outfits to bring. And of course, check the weather.
6. Mix and match
Pack items with similar colors and styles to mix and match so that you’ll get the maximum number of outfits out of versatile styles that you can wear in different ways. Keep this in mind when you want to bring that top that only goes with one bottom in your suitcase.
