]]> Weeklong vacations are that perfect balance between too short and too long—they’re not a weekend getaway that you barely feel, but they’re also not going to drain your annual leave quota. To make the best out of your week-long escapade, one of the buzzkills you really want to avoid is overpacking. So, before you start tossing everything but the kitchen sink into your suitcase, here are some tips on what not to take.

Too Many Shoes

The urge to have options for every occasion is understandable, but do you really need five pairs of shoes for a week? Opt for one or two versatile pairs that can take you from sightseeing to dinner without weighing you down.

Toiletry Overkill

Leave the mega-sized shampoo and conditioner bottles at home. Most hotels provide basic toiletries, and you can always pick up travel-sized essentials along the way.

Heavy Guidebooks

No more heavy guidebooks taking up precious space in your bag. Replace them with travel apps or use online resources for maps, restaurant recommendations, and insider tips.

Expensive Jewelry

While it’s tempting to accessorize, leave the bling at home. Wearing flashy jewelry while you travel can actually increase the risk of loss or theft. Keep it simple and focus on enjoying your trip.

Excessive Clothing 

Do you really need that extra sweater? Pack strategically by choosing versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched. Check the weather forecast and pack accordingly, opting for layers for flexibility.

]]> If you’re going on a weekend trip or any other brief vacation, then you’ll probably want to pack light – especially if you’re flying with only carry-on luggage. Still, even if packing light can prove challenging, there are a few items you’ll be better off leaving behind. Here are some perceived travel essentials that aren’t so essential on a brief vacation.

Handbags

While a handbag can be both practical and stylish, bringing too many on vacation can take up a lot of space. Also, not every handbag is suitable for every outfit or occasion. If you are going to be travelling with a handbag, then make sure it is versatile so that it can be used in multiple situations.

Too Many Shoes

If you’re going away for a short while, then don’t bother bringing too many shoes. In fact, the ones you wear on the plane should be ones you’re going to use on your vacation as well. Make sure that the shoes you bring are all practical for walking, especially if you’re going sightseeing or hiking.

Non-Versatile Clothes

Sometimes, picking out outfits can be challenging, especially if colors clash. This is why you should wear neutral, versatile clothes on vacation. This way, you can bring fewer clothes as more options go with each other.

]]> While some items might seem logical to pack in your carry-on luggage, professional packer and travel blogger Lydia Mansel has revealed that not all of them are as logical as they seem. Here are some items that Lydia regrets taking in her carry-on luggage.

High Heels

As Lydia recalls, there’s not much point in bringing shoes that are difficult to walk in. This is especially true when going on vacations that require a lot of walking. While there are some nights where you may want to dress up more, rather put a pair of high heels in your baggage.

Neck Pillow

While a neck pillow may seem comfortable, the extra sleep you get on the plane is not necessarily worth all the space that this bulky pillow will take up in your bag. If you really want a neck pillow, consider finding one that is more compact.

Too Many Skincare Products

Even though skincare is important, going a few days without your rigid daily routine will not necessarily prove damaging. Consider ditching some products when on vacation so that you can have more space in your bags.

]]> 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.

]]> If you don’t pack right, you risk ruining the vacation you’ve been planning so carefully! These are the most common packing mistakes you should avoid at all times.

Packing Clothes That Easily Wrinkle

When planning your travel outfits, make sure to include the clothes that won’t wrinkle in the suitcase. This can make a big difference in how you look and feel, especially if it’s important to you to always look your best, even when dressing out of a suitcase.

Packing Too Many Shoes

Carefully consider the realistic needs for footwear on your trip and only pack a few necessary pairs. Wear comfortable sneakers to the airport and pack a pair of two other shoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

You Think Basics are Boring

Your favorite statement pieces may be fun and look amazing, but basics will provide you the much-needed versatility while traveling. Simple tanks and tees combined with jeans and a colorful scarf are definitely underrated! You can always pack some jewelry to make your outfits stand out.
