Pack light.

You'll be glad you did. Choosing a wardrobe of basics will help you deal with space limitations. Select clothes that will coordinate with each other. Try to stick to one color scheme (black/brown/navy) or select clothes that can be mixed and matched.

Pack tight.

Packing loosely wastes precious space and causes clothes to wrinkle.

Make a list.

Your list will prove invaluable in the unfortunate event of lost of stolen luggage, while you are away.

Bring clothing that requires little care.

Wrinkle-resistant, quick drying fabrics are best.

Think of travel activities ahead of time.

Plan your clothes for business, sports and leisure activities.

Check seasonal weather conditions.

Pack a raincoat or warm/cool clothing as appropriate.
