Haven\u2019t we all sat on our suitcases in desperation to just shut the bloomin\u2019 thing? Or \u2018panic packed\u2019 two minutes before we leave for the airport \u2013 shoving in that additional pair of sandals\u00a0(don\u2019t make me choose between the white\u00a0and beige pair!).<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve checked the weather conditions in advance, you\u2019ll have an idea of what to pack. If you\u2019re going to a tropical destination, naturally you\u2019ll want to be prepared to dress for hot, sunny days and balmy nights, but you might also want to pack some warmer clothes for unexpected cooler, overcast days, or even rainy ones. Remember that wearing layers is optimal for any climate, as you can add more if you get cold, or take a layer or two off if you\u2019re\u00a0too hot.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em><u>Gather your clothes<\/u><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Gather all the items you may need on your trip, then edit down your choices so you don\u2019t over pack (a common mistake!). Planning daily outfits in advance will help you put back at least half of the items you think you need. Pack double-duty garments, like a simple sarong that can also be worn as a wrap.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note: always,\u00a0<strong><em>always<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>have an extra set of clothes in your carry-on luggage. Always. You never know when\/if your luggage will be misplaced, and you don\u2019t want to be stuck in your travelling clothes until the rest of it shows up.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-952\" style=\"width: 708px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-952\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip.jpg\" alt=\"xxxx\" width=\"708\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip.jpg 708w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip-680x452.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip-271x180.jpg 271w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/snip-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cara Bag \u20ac64.95, Jenny Knit Sweater \u20ac39.95, Striped Linen Top \u20ac34.95, Capri Trousers \u20ac34.95, Short Sleeve Jacket \u20ac89.95, Striped Linen Top \u20ac34.95 (Shop in store today!).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><em><u>Roll your clothes<\/u><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Tightly roll softer, wrinkle-resistant garments, like tees, jeans and cotton trousers, and place them along the base of the bag.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><em><u>Place folded items on top<\/u><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Next, fold stiffer and\/or wrinkle-prone garments like shirts and blazers.
