When vacation planning for an extended getaway, you might think you’ll have to pack a lot, but minimizing your luggage can also reduce your hassle. To make the most of your suitcase space, use these tips. 

3 Tips to Pack Light for a Vacation

1. Roll Your Clothing

While it's common to fold and stack clothing in your suitcase, rolling takes up less real estate. It also makes it easier to see what you're bringing at a glance. Roll each item tightly, then line the bottom of your suitcase with each piece. Then layer bulkier items, such as sweaters and jackets, on top.

2. Pack Versatile Outfits

It's easy to get carried away when selecting items to bring on your trip. While you might want to bring all of your favorite outfits, choosing versatile pieces to mix and match instead can help you create unique looks without packing more clothes.

When vacation planning, consider the outfits you'll need for the trip. Find one jacket or sweater that matches with multiple shirts, dresses, or trousers. Look for pieces that can be dressed up or dressed down for both day and nighttime use.

3. Wear Your Bulkiest Items

When planning your travel wardrobe, select the bulkiest shoes or pieces of clothing to save space in your bag. If you're bringing a thick coat and boots, wear them to the airport rather than stashing them in your suitcase. Slimmer items, such as cardigans and slippers, will take up less space and weigh less, possibly preventing additional luggage fees.
