The order of packing things in a suitcase is very important. So that is where we will begin - at the bottom.
- All shoes should go on bottom of the suitcase - can put sandals around the sides. This gives protection to the other things you will pack and also takes up the most room. Can put socks, small travel size toiletries (in zip locks) in the shoes, if smell is not a problem. Put shoes in individual bags if smell is a problem.
- Jean skirts should go in on top of shoes (jeans for men/boys). Building from bottom with heaviest and least important in the area of wrinkles.
- Underclothing and socks next.
- Sweaters if appropriate.
- Casual tops next. Roll these after first folding in half and straightening all the wrinkles out. Rolling makes for less wrinkles.
- Dress clothing goes in last. Place in cleaners bags (finally a sue for those bags!!!) and lay on the top.
The invention of Space Bags (those bags you roll or vacuum all the air out of) are great for space but do nothing to lighten the weight. Also a good idea to put all toiletries and anything liquid into good zip lock bags. Nothing worse than having a Listerine bottle break in your suitcase on a trip!!!
