Steps to Pack Your Suitcase The Right Way

Follow the following tips to pack your suitcase the right way.

Grab your clothes

If you want to avoid the common mistake of overpacking, it's a good idea to lay out all the clothes you might need for your trip and then whittle it down. Half or more of what you believe you need should be returned.

Quick Tip: Bring items that can serve multiple purposes. For example, you can sleep in your yoga pants. You can use a sarong as a scarf or a wrap.

Roll clothes

T-shirts and cotton pants, which don't wrinkle as quickly as other fabrics, should be tightly rolled and arranged along the bottom of the bag. Additionally, rolled jeans are required.

Arrange folded items on top.

Starched cotton shirts and blazers, which tend to be stiff and wrinkle easily, should be folded next. Overlap the folded items with the rolled garments.

Drape pants and skirts

If you have any longer items, fold them in half so that they fill the length of the bag, alternating the ends with the waists.

Quick Tip: Wear bulky items on the plane or in the car to save space in your suitcase.

Toss in some more minor things

Search for hidden storage compartments for underwear and socks.

Quick Tip: Stuff your bras with rolled-up socks to keep the cups from stretching.

Belt up your travel bags.

Snake belts encircle the bag's edges. Then, place a dry-cleaning bag over the whole heap. The smooth interior of the bag prevents the folded clothes from sticking together and forming creases.

Pick shoes wisely

Select three pairs of shoes that can dress up or down, such as sneakers, sandals, and a couple of dress shoes. Wear one pair while traveling, while the other pairs should be packed in resealable bags and placed along the outer edges of the suitcase.

Put your jewelry in a safe place.

Put your cheap jewelry in a plastic pillbox or a 35mm film canister for the week. When traveling, it is recommended that one wear expensive jewelry to prevent it from being misplaced or stolen.
