Look online or check the area’s news forecast to get an idea of what the weather will be during your trip. Pack items that will work well for the weather, and leave behind pieces that aren’t seasonally appropriate.  Is it going to rain? Pack a rain jacket or something that can get wet and dry quickly. If it is going to be hot, pack shorts. On the other hand, if it’s going to be snowing the whole time, you can probably leave your shorts at home, no matter how good they look. Think about what you will be doing on your trip, and pick clothes that match your agenda. If, for example, you want to spend most of your time at the beach, focus on packing swimsuits and lightweight clothes. If you’re packing for a business trip, though, you may want to focus more on professional attire like collared shirts and blazers. If you can, try planning each day in advance. Pack in outfits, rather than singular items. This will help you decide exactly what pieces of clothing to take. While some trips may require certain outfits for special occasions, most trips don’t. In those cases, look for items that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on what you need for that day. Try to keep items in the same complimentary color palette to make sure everything you bring goes together.  Instead of bringing a different dress for walking around during the day and going out at night, for example, try bringing one cute and comfortable black dress. Pair it with a cardigan or sweater to dress it down, or let it stand by itself for a night out. Save shoe space by opting to bring one or two pairs of neutral tone shoes that can go with multiple outfits. A pair of black ankle boots with a chunky heel, for example, can take the place of a pair of casual flats, formal heels, and sturdy trainers for walking around town. Light layers typically work well for both warm and cool weather. If you plan on visiting multiple climates, pack items like basic t-shirts, light jackets and sweatshirts, and scarves that can easily be put on and removed as necessary.  If you are packing for multiple occasions, bring a few basic items like shirts or blouses. Then, dress them up with layers like jackets and blazers, or dress them down with casual accessories. Light layers are often helpful, but they aren’t the right answer for every destination. If you’re going to the Arctic Circle in the winter, you should pack one durable sub zero-rated jacket rather than several lighter sweatshirts. Some hotels and hostels will have laundry rooms for their guests to use. Others may be close to a laundromat or a dry cleaner. See if there is a laundry service at or near where you will be staying. If so, plan on doing a load or two of laundry so that you can reuse clothes instead of packing more. Once you have a clear idea of what you will need to match your trip’s weather and schedule, make a packing list. This will help keep you organized and bring only the things you need. If it’s not on the list, it likely doesn’t need to be in your bag. Don’t forget to include things like underwear, socks, sleepwear, and toiletries on your packing list. These items can be easy to overlook.
