when it comes to luggage. If you don’t fill your suitcase, your clothing will fall all over the place, which will cause wrinkling and make a big, jumbled mess.

BASICS

Here is a list of seasonless wardrobe essentials that can be combined in many ways.

Tops T-shirt Tank top

Sweater or cardigan

WRINKLE-PROOFING

These fabrics will wrinkle less than others:

• NYLON AND NYLON-SPANDEX BLENDS

• POLYESTER

• VISCOSE

• MICRO FIBERS

• RAYON AND COTTON BLENDS

• SILK

• KNITS

Bottoms

A skirt: Pack one in a neutral color and basic style and length.

Pants: The most comfortable to wear on the plane is a pair of stretch pants. Your second pair should able to work as city day wear or at an evening dinner.

IF WEATHER PERMITS

Bring a swimsuit. It doesn’t take much room and there may be an indoor pool, even if you’re stay­ing in the city.

If you feel comfortable in a bikini, the top can work with pants or shorts. Pack a big shirt to act as a cover up or jacket.

IF YOU WORK OUT

Shorts Sports bra Tank top Sneakers/socks
