Travel Light, Look Sharp

Packing well is just capsule thinking under constraint. One carry-on can cover two weeks if every piece earns its place.

The carry-on capsule

Choose pieces that all share a palette so any top works with any bottom. A reliable target: five tops, four bottoms, three layers, two pairs of shoes, one bag.

Anchor on one palette

A single color story means fewer shoes and accessories - the bulkiest, heaviest things you pack - without sacrificing variety in your outfits.

Shoes are the constraint

Two pairs maximum: one you can walk all day in, one you can dress up. Wear the heaviest pair on the plane to save space.

Mix and match by design

Test your outfits before you pack, not after you land. If a piece only works one way, leave it at home - it is dead weight.
