How to Pack for a Week in a Carry-On Suitcase
Traveling light is an art, and packing for a week in a carry-on suitcase may sound like a challenge, but it’s completely doable with the right approach! Whether you're jetting off for a girls' trip, a couple's getaway, or just seeking adventure, here's how to pack efficiently while still keeping your style on point.
1. Plan Outfits, Not Items
Think in terms of complete outfits, not individual pieces. Choose neutral or mix-and-match colors so that everything can be paired in different combinations. Stick to lightweight items and layer for warmth—t-shirts, like our travel-themed graphic tees, are perfect because they can be dressed up or down!
2. Stick to the Essentials
Limit your footwear to two pairs: comfortable shoes for exploring and something dressy for dinners or events. As for toiletries, go travel-sized or invest in a reusable toiletry kit that complies with airline regulations.
3. Roll, Don’t Fold
Rolling clothes saves space and reduces wrinkles. Use packing cubes for organization, which helps maximize space while keeping everything tidy.
4. Utilize Your Personal Item
Most airlines allow a carry-on suitcase plus a personal item. Take advantage of this by using a backpack or tote that can hold your laptop, charger, snacks, and any last-minute essentials.
With these tips, you can easily pack a week’s worth of clothes and essentials into a carry-on suitcase—leaving room for the souvenirs and memories you’ll collect along the way!
