While going on vacation may sound easy and relaxing, there is plenty of groundwork that you’ll need to get done before you set foot on your flight. This includes the all-important task of packing the right clothes and other essentials. Here are some of the biggest packing mistakes that you’ll need to avoid when planning for your next trip.
Packing Standalone Pieces
Avoid packing very specific clothes that only go with a limited selection of your wardrobe. By packing more versatile pieces, you can easily mix and match clothes, saving you time and limiting your stress if some clothes are already dirty.
Taking Too Many Shoes
Not only do shoes take up a lot of space, but a lot of the time, you don’t need that many pairs. After all, shoes don’t need to be washed like other clothes do, so save some space by packing just one or two pairs of versatile and comfortable shoes.
Using Heavy Bags
While we often worry about the weight of our clothes exceeding airline limits, we often overlook just how heavy our bags themselves can be. Make sure that you use a bag that is lightweight so that you can free up some of your weight allowance.
