How to Pack Your Suitcase

...........................................................................................................................................................................
First of all it depends on the duration of your vacation. Is it a week-end, a week, a month, a year?
Next, the type of trip will influence; big city trip, beach vacation, backpacking. Naturally you don't need the 10-inch heels if you are going to Thailand. Neither do you need a mosquito net in New York.


Some all-round tips
  • Bring clothes you can mix in different ways
    • an LBD can be worn with a belt, accessories or scarf to wear it at day-time and to a party
  • A pair of shoes for every outfit? NO!
    • Shoes are heavy, think about the new shoes you can buy on your vacation instead
  • A black/brown sweater/cardigan goes with everything
  • Many Norwegian girls want to bring all their summer clothes since they get to wear them once a year
    • BUT, you will probably not wear the miniskirt you bought 5 years ago no matter the weather

  • Take only your favourite clothes
    • Not expensive or special clothes that you only wear at certain occasions
    • BUT, your everyday favourite clothes
  • Don't pack clothes that only go with one other item
  • Take with you only the clothes you would wear right now, not something you really liked 6 months ago and might wear again if...
  •  Create a must-bring, maybe-bring and if-room-bring piles
    • There isn't even room for the maybe-bring pile so you can just put it straight back into the closet
  • You don't need to pack every little thing
    • There are shops in foreign countries too! 


What is your best tip for packing?
