Time to pack
Holidays are just around the corner but before leaving to enjoy the sun, the beach and the new places to discover, it's time to get serious: you have to pack your suitcase. Don't worry, you don't have to turn this ritual into a drama either. You just have to select a series of key pieces that combine with each other , add a few accessories, and save everything well. Do you dare to try the capsule wardrobe method for your vacation?

How to pack the perfect suitcase
- Plan . Be clear about both the weather and the events of your vacation to make a good selection of clothes. If you know what kind of plans you are going to make, you will have much clearer what to take with you. For example, if you are going to go to the beach for a single day, it is not necessary to carry 6 bikinis and 4 swimsuits but if you plan to go daily you will have to wear them and reduce the amount of other clothes you carry.
- Multipurpose parts. Look for very versatile garments, which will serve you both to go to the beach and to go out to dinner or to party. This way you can wear them several times throughout your trip.
- Materials. Say goodbye to the iron. Give priority to fabrics that do not wrinkle so that your clothes come out of the suitcase ready to put them on.
- Be organized . If you have to pack a large suitcase for many days or for several destinations, separate the contents into different bags (for the beach, the mountains, cities, or for day, night, a party …). That will make it easier for you to undo it and find everything quickly.
- Pick a color range. Coordinate the tones and patterns of the clothes that you include in your suitcase very well, just as you would with a capsule wardrobe. Ideally, choose two basic colors and combine them with three other trendy ones .
