PACKING HACKS

These genius hacks for packing will save you time and makes choosing an outfit a total breeze!

Yes my mum does pack my suitcase for me and yes I am 28 years old. There’s something about the way mums pack that just make sense, and there is no chance of me “watching and learning” because I simply don’t have the time. I’m too busy digging in my wardrobe, trying to find that old skirt I wore on holiday 3 years ago that Zara doesn’t sell any more, but it just fits right. Or, probably still putting outfits together… and don’t forget the “back-up” outfits! They’re the hardest!

So, imagine my joy when I discovered how influencers (yes those people who look immaculate and can throw anything on and still look unbelievable) pack; by colour instead of by outfit! I know. It’s been that simple all along. Here’s how you, too, can break free from the stress of packing.

Scan Your Wardrobe

Go through and grab clothes in those shades, making sure you have a mix of tops and bottoms. (In other words, don’t just throw every green thing you own into your bag or you’ll risk being trouser-less in Spain.)

Do A Brutal Edit

Seeing as all your pieces will go together (that’s the magic of this trick!), you can now cut way back. The formula is packing the same number of tops or dresses as days you’ll be away, plus half that number of bottoms and a jumper or two (depending on the destination).

Fill Any Holes With Some Neutrals

No pastel skirt? Swap in cream. Or soften what could be getting really matchy-matchy with white, black or denim layers and basics.

Pick A Palette

Start with a patterned piece you love and go from there. Blue and green florals on a pink background? Bam, you’re a palette-picking pro.

Streamline Your Accessories

Stick to just one bag, one belt, a dress shoe and a comfy shoe. And, okay, workout trainers if you’re trying to be that person who goes running before everyone else wakes up.
