Up your packing mojo
The ultimate guide to packing a travel capsule wardrobe with my planner
Packing for a vacation can feel like an overwhelming task, especially when you’re staring at a mound of clothes on your bed, trying to guess if it’s too much or not enough. The uncertainty often leads to throwing in a few extra pieces “just in case.” Sound familiar?
Well, I’m here to change that for you. With my travel capsule wardrobe planner, you’ll pack efficiently and stylishly for your next vacation. Here’s how to make it happen.
The Essentials of a Travel Capsule Wardrobe
The idea is to bring versatile, coordinated pieces that mix and match to create multiple outfits. This not only saves space in your luggage but also simplifies your daily outfit choices while traveling.
For a 1-Week Getaway:
4-6 Tops: Think versatile options like t-shirts, blouses, and tank tops.
2-4 Bottoms: Include a mix of shorts, skirts, and pants.
1-2 Light Layering Pieces: A cardigan, light sweater, or jacket.
1-2 Dresses: Casual or dressy, depending on your destination.
2-3 Pairs of Shoes: Comfortable walking shoes, a dressier option, and maybe sandals or flip-flops.
For a 2-Week Vacation:
5-7 Tops: Include more variety to avoid repetition.
3-5 Bottoms: More options like jeans, shorts, skirts, and versatile pants.
3-4 Light Layering Pieces: Different styles to match varying outfits and weather conditions.

Tips for a Perfect Travel Capsule Wardrobe
Choose a Color Palette:
Stick to a cohesive color scheme. Neutrals mixed with a few accent colors will ensure that all your pieces can be mixed and matched.
Prioritize Versatility:
Pack items that can be dressed up or down. A simple black dress, for instance, can be casual with sandals or dressy with heels and accessories.
Think Layers:
Layering is key for adapting to different weather conditions. A light jacket or cardigan can transform a summer dress for cooler evenings.
Accessorize Smartly:
Accessories like scarves, jewelry, and belts can change the look of an outfit without taking up much space in your luggage.
