Traveling light comes with a long list of benefits, but it’s not that easy to pull off during colder seasons. If you’re looking for a way to minimize your luggage and save some money on baggage fees this fall, here are five steps worth taking.
Limit Bulky Pieces
Even if bulky clothes happen to be the staple of your fall closet, you should limit them when traveling because they’ll take up too much space in your suitcase.
Dressing in Layers
Instead of packing bulky sweaters and hoodies, consider packing lighter clothes that you can easily layer. In addition to taking up less space, they’re much easier to re-wear.
Right Bottoms
Tops are easy to layer, but that’s not the case with bottoms, so try to opt for a few versatile skirts and pants that you can mix and match with ease.
No Doubling Up
There are certain items you shouldn’t double up on when trying to travel light, including jackets/coats and shoes/boots. Stick to a single versatile jacket and pair of shoes that you’re going to wear during your trip instead of packing them.
Plan Your Outfits
Planning your outfits in advance is also a good idea because it allows you to avoid packing clothes that you’re not going to use.
