My Carry On Packing Formula
Building your travel uniform with simplified tips and a summer packing list.
Packing a bag is something that can easily get out of hand. My sister once showed up for a 3-day trip with 3 hairbrushes. Like my wardrobe, I am pretty discerning about packing, but my priority is always first to feel good in the items I brought and second to pack efficiently to avoid overpacking.
I don’t subscribe to the hard rule of “carry-on only,” but if I can make it work with everything I need, and usually I can for 3-5 days, it’s so much easier. I have a packing process and a few favorite items (suitcases, totes, shorts sets, perfect summer! more below) that I’ve stuck to for many years and works!
