The essentials

Start with a little inspiration

A lighter bag starts with a short plan. Check your airline’s current baggage allowance, choose a small colour palette, and pack outfits that work together. Keep medicines and essentials accessible, and leave a little room for the things you find along the way.

Pack for the days you have planned

Start with your itinerary, the expected conditions and any dress requirements, rather than packing for every possibility. Choose a small colour palette so tops and bottoms work together, then repeat comfortable layers across several outfits. Lay everything out before it goes into the case; remove anything without a clear use. Check your provider’s baggage limits and make a short list of items you need close at hand.

Make unpacking easier

Keep travel documents, chargers, valuables and the first day’s essentials in a bag you can reach easily. A simple pouch for cables and a separate bag for laundry help keep things in order. If you are travelling with others, split a few key items between cases where practical. Leave some space for the journey home, and keep liquids and other restricted items packed according to your carrier’s current instructions.
