Frequently asked questions

What do I need for a weekend trip?

For a 2-3 day trip, pack documents and chargers, two-to-three mix-and-match outfits, one dressier option, travel-size toiletries, medications, and a day bag. Keeping to one color family means fewer clothes that still all work together.

How many outfits for a 2-night trip?

Two to three tops, one or two bottoms, and one "nice" outfit is plenty for two nights. Choose pieces in the same color family so they layer and mix, and you'll rarely need more.

Can I pack for a weekend in a carry-on only?

Yes. A weekend easily fits a carry-on if you keep toiletries under 100ml, wear your bulkiest shoes and jacket on the journey, and stick to one color family so a few pieces cover every outfit.
