How does an ironing-free vacation sound?
Roll your clothes.
Rolling up your garments, instead of folding them, will save you space in your suitcase. It also helps prevent deep wrinkles
However, this won’t work if your trip requires you to pack high-quality garments that require extra care. We don’t recommend rolling up delicates or high-maintenance fabrics. That is why Hangers Cleaners dry cleaners offers a service for packing garments. When you arrive at your location, your garments will be wrinkle-free, free from harsh chemical odors, and stain-free since they will be protected by a plastic cover.
Plan ahead with a packing list.
What is the best way to make sure you don’t forget anything important? Make a list to save yourself the extra hassle and cost of leaving something important behind. Start this list as soon as you know you will be going on the trip, or at least a few weeks before you leave.
Add to it as you remember things. This will also help you avoid that last minute just-in-case frenzy that causes you to pack more than what you need. With a list that has been well thought out, you can rest easy knowing you aren’t forgetting anything.
Pack a large scarf.
A large scarf is a very versatile garment to have while you are traveling. It can substitute a throw blanket, roll it up for a makeshift pillow, wear it as a scarf if you realize you’ve arrived somewhat underdressed.
Or maybe you want to follow the Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy and pack a towel.
“A towel, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value.”
Think of clothing in layers.
As you travel you will likely encounter different climates. If you are wearing layers, you have more options to make yourself comfortable at different temperatures.
Your layers should be pretty basic. Unless you need something specific to your destination, you won’t want to pack any statement pieces. It’s a good idea to pack versatile garments. You should also try to stick with colors that go well together so you can create new outfits with fewer garments.
