This is true for men as well as women. Decide on outfits which can be combined with different tops such as a skirt, pair of pants, and shoes of a neutral color such as beige, black, brown, or navy. (White is not usually a good idea as it shows the soil and stains) The tops can be colorful and spruced up when needed with interesting accessories that don’t take up much room in a suitcase such as scarves, necklaces, and belts. Try for materials that don’t wrinkle such as nylon or polyester, as these materials travel well and look nice right out of the suitcase. Even in summer, be sure to take a lightweight jacket or sweater for chilly evenings and air-conditioned buildings.
When packing the suitcase itself, put the heavier, larger items on the bottom. Carefully fold and lay large flat clothing such as a skirt, sweater, pair of pants, or shirt. On top of these, put underwear (neatly rolled), nightwear, socks, and jacket. Shoes can be placed in plastic bags and tucked around the sides. If you are only taking one large suitcase, then place toiletries in sealed plastic bags and place around the clothes between shoes. Books and papers can be placed on top or in the pocket provided in many suitcases styles. Close the top and zip tightly.
Of course, a lot of packing depends on the size of the suitcase and the number of suitcases you are able to take. In some situations, garment bags can even be used to transport easily wrinkled items such as dresses, suits, and coats. Today there are many types of suitcases on the market, some with wheels, and even some that can be wheeled sideways for easy pulling. Carefully pack your suitcase and then be careful not to hurt your back in handling it. It is surprising how much a few clothes and shoes can weigh.
