Pack Clothing

Step 1Remember this order of operations: shirts on the bottom, then dresses (if applicable), then pants.

Step 2Stack tops, unfolded, by placing wrinkle-prone tops toward the bottom of a pile and less easily wrinkled ones toward the top.

Step 3Fold the sleeves in toward the shirts' torsos.

Step 4Fold the shirts in half from the bottom. You now have a rectangular bundle of shirts; place it in your suitcase.

Step 5Drape long dresses in the suitcase so that the ends hang over the sides.

Step 6Place pants and skirts on a flat surface; fold each in half lengthwise.

Step 7Stack pants and skirts on top of one another, with easily wrinkled ones on the bottom and sturdier ones, such as jeans, on top. Fold the stack over, so that its length is halved.

Step 8Place your stack of pants and skirts on top of the dresses, then fold the ends of the dresses over the pants and skirts.

Pack Accessories

Step 2Stuff socks in shoes. Pack underwear in mesh laundry bags or side pockets to save space.

Step 3Arrange each pair of shoes so that the heel of one aligns with the toe of the other.

Step 4Wrap pairs of shoes in separate plastic bags, and place them along the border of your suitcase.

Step 5Protect clothes from leaks by placing toiletries in a plastic bag.

Step 6Pack essential toiletries in a carry-on bag. Include your toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup, medication and other important items
