Mini breaks aren’t just mini in length and distance, but also mini on luggage allowance. However, this doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. In fact, packing light can enhance your travel experience, making it more manageable, comfortable, and enjoyable. No waiting around for luggage? We’ll take it!
The key thing here to remember is packing light doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style and skincare. Here are 5 simple steps to help you lose the baggage but keep the luxury…
Avoid the dreaded leave-it-until-the-night-before packing and create a list a week before with the essentials you’ll need for your trip. This will help reduce the burning urge to throw in the ‘just in case’ items during a last minute rush and keep to the items that are needed.
Bringing just the right amount of clothes for the duration of the trip is paramount to packing light. Tips like bringing a blazer to dress up your day-to-night outfit and bringing staple accessories that can be worn with multiple outfits will help keep your hand luggage holdable instead of heavy.
When it comes to luggage allowance, we all know the weight really comes from our wash bag. The accumulation of makeup, skincare and haircare products can take a packing from light to loaded pretty quickly. Avoid this by investing in travel sized versions of your products, or refilling small reusable bottles and jars with your existing products to ensure your home-comforts make it on the trip with you.
Simple doesn’t mean it’s not stylish. Fable & Eve’s Spitalfields Navy Livaeco Jersey Set is the perfect interchangeable outfit. The soft-to-touch fabric moves with you on your travels and slumber, while the gorgeous but subtle sheen doubles up as both a daytime loungewear or nighttime pyjama outfit. This set has a super power of comfort while still making you feel put together to keep a luxurious feel throughout.
Why waste a good outfit by only wearing it once? Take advantage of your accommodations dry cleaning services to re-wear clothing items. Why not try mixing and matching styles too? Bonus points if you dry clean them again at the end of the holiday, giving your washing machine a mini break, even after your return!
