Select what you take
- Clothes, just right. Plan your looks and make a list of what you will need. Wear clothes that allow you to make many combinations between them.
- In sight. Put everything you want to take on the bed before putting it in the suitcase. It will be easier for you to eliminate unnecessary things. And forget about the "just in case."
- Do you really need it? In many hotels they have toiletries, hairdryer, pool towel … that you don't need to bring. Find out before.
The toiletry bag, safe
- In the bottom. If any product is opened, it will not stain all the clothes underneath. In any case, try to bring one that is waterproof or put it in a plastic bag.
- Well packed. That way, if you carry glass jars they won't hit each other and there will be less risk of them breaking. If necessary, use a smaller toiletry bag. Although it is best to replace them with plastic cans.
Shoes and other accessories
- Put your shoes in cloth bags to protect them and avoid bad odors.
- The belts, keep them stretched along the perimeter of the suitcase.
- Jewelry, put them in boxes or pillboxes.
Order does matter
- Put the heaviest thing at the bottom so that the rest does not flatten. On the other hand, the most delicate garments, on top of everything and with the fewest possible folds. If you wrap them in tissue paper, they won't wrinkle or rub as much.
- If your suitcase is divided into two parts, you will find everything easier. Dedicate one to pants and skirts, and the other to T-shirts and shirts. You can also make packages by types of garment or by sets. It is very useful if you go from one place to another and do not have time to unpack.
Expert tips
- Use the holes in your shoes to store your rolled socks. In addition, you will prevent the shoes from being squashed or deformed. So that the shoes occupy you little, place them facing the instep.
- Foam-filled bras are perfect for tucking into rounded corners.
- Do you have gaps? Fill them with underwear, mobile phone charger, headphones …
- Get some vacuum packaging bags, they are useful for garments that are very bulky or for dirty clothes. Of course, what you put inside will wrinkle a lot. Even more useful are packaging bags that have an automatic vacuum valve. You will not need a dryer or vacuum cleaner.
Ah! And do not forget to leave some space in the suitcase to be able to put what you buy on the trip.
