Packing for a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. Yet for most of us, it’s one of the most dreaded parts of any trip.
If you’re anything like my clients (before I have helped them!) you’ll find yourself standing in front of an overflowing wardrobe wondering what to take, convinced you’ll need every outfit ‘just in case’.
Before you know it, your suitcase is bursting at the seams, you’ve exceeded the baggage allowance, and somehow you still haven’t packed the things you’ll actually wear.
As a personal stylist, I see this all the time. Whether I’m helping clients prepare for a beach holiday, a city break or a safari, the biggest challenge isn’t having enough clothes; it’s packing the right clothes.
You see, the real secret to the perfect holiday wardrobe isn’t taking more clothes with you – it’s making sure that every piece works with everything else.
Why most people overpack
So why do so many of us overpack when we go away? The answer is that we try to think of every possible scenario we might find ourselves in, and pack clothes for that.
As a result, we end up with clothes that never leave our suitcase, shoes that only work with one outfit, lots of ‘just in case’ items but not enough versatile basics, and last-minute packing panic.
If you don’t want to lug unworn clothes and accessories halfway across the world and back again, then you need to approach your holiday wardrobe differently.
