1.  Make a packing list

Using a packing list is a great way to avoid overpacking or leaving something important behind. You can also use it at the other end of your trip to be sure you're bringing everything home again.

2.  Sort your clothing into categories

This helps you to keep an eye on how many of each item you're taking, and makes it easier to cut back if you over-pack. Packing your clothes by category into packing cubes will help you to easily find items at your destination. Packing cubes are lightweight zip-up bags that can act as drawers for separating and storing your clothes.

3.  Mix and Match

Choose the items of clothing to match one another in colour tones and style, so that you can mix and match outfits. There's little point bringing your favourite shirt if you have to add particular pants, shoes and accessories that won't go with anything else.

4.  Bring about half of what you planned to take

Experts suggest we commonly take double the required amount of clothing away on holiday, in the fear that we're leaving something at home that we'll need. Make sure you have the basics and anything difficult to replace (such as prescription medication). You can usually buy whatever else you need on your travels.

5.  Roll and fold your clothes

Roll your clothes to save space. When you roll your clothing, you’ll find that you can fit more in and ultimately maximise the available space. Packing cubes are a great way to keep your clothing neatly and tightly rolled, no matter how much turbulence your luggage faces on the flight.

Packing cubes are an excellent way to know where your items are and allowing you to find things quickly when living out of a suitcase. If you're staying in the one location for more than a few days, you can take your cubes straight from your suitcase into the hotel drawers for easy unpacking, then zip them up and return them to your luggage when you're leaving. This will speed up the process and reduce the chances of leaving something behind.

With a husband and 2 young kids, it would be a nightmare when everyone's clothes are jumbled together. By ordering a different colour for each person, Zoe has tamed the suitcase jumble.
