- Hi Everyone
I hate to boast, but I'm a packing genius ;)
In this video I’m showing you my secret pro tip for packing up to 14 outfits in one carry on suitcase. If you have ever wanted to figure out how to pack for one week in one carry on, then this video is for you. I hate overpacking and my system of packing let’s you go from daytime to casual to nighttime dressy with minimal items leaving your suitcase light and manageable.

I pack in a similar way but it does get boring using the same colour palette after a while. Also wear the bottoms for night time first when they are fresh and carry them over to the next day, rather than wearing all day. It feels dresser that way. Couldn't imagine going out for the evening in something I'd already worn all day.
Great tip!
👍
I also add a couple of colorful scarves and interesting jewelry to combat the boredom of the same color palette.
Opp p pp
@@donnapartow Great idea!
I’m over 65 and don’t wear all those same style of pieces, but the concept is brilliant and can be tailored to individual style. As other viewers mentioned, I’d probably wear evening pieces first. Thank you for these great tips!
Excellent ideas. I bring a scarf or two to wear as a belt or a make shift top to wear under the blazer. Also ladies please bring panty liners to keep your pants fresh. Spent 3 weeks in Australia with a single bag. Went to plays, sheep stations, shopping and upscale dining. Yes it can be done.
Good idea about liners but I'd still bring hand wash fast dry pants. Especially tropical weather.
I do both tips - scarf as belt and pack pantiliners, always. I also use cotton lawn sarongs as shawls/blankets, etc. Don't forget to tie a [multi-use] bandana somewhere.... tfs!
I love the scarf tip! Versatile piece that can add a pop of color! Thanks for sharing 😊
The BEST video I’ve found on packing a capsule wardrobe! Explaining how it transitions from day to night while always looking chic. Thank you!
Excellent ideas. NOW, show us how to pack like this for cold weather when the clothing is bulky, please.
That would be helpful...winter packing for Sweden
Yes yes yes! Going to New York in December! Already dreading the packing!
@@bradrigsby8808 Same! I'm panicking at the thought! Please @me if you find any videos 👍🏽
Layers!! Winter leggings under the jeans and leather pants. Thin turtle neck in black under blouses and dresses and black winter tights for skirts. Bring coat and a compressible packable puff jacket and boots instead of sandals. Also a colourful pashmina scarf. I used to travel from hot countries to cold countries a lot with minimal clothing and that was my system
@@jmsuther01 thank you for the great advice 😘
One of the best carry-on only/travel wardrobe videos of the 50 or so I've seen over the years. A condensed wardrobe that doesn't compromise on style and could work for virtually any age group.
If you are talk and thin.
Thank you¡.
I'm a 60+ woman, for that reason I would change the black pieces for my favorable navy blue. Black (even though is a favorable color) is to harsh for me now that I'm older.
Thanks again for the tips.
I totally agree for the warmer weather. I wear black in fall winter but too harsh in bright sunlight. I prefer a more French inspired look with navy and striped tops. Check out Marie Ann Lacoure’s French videos.
Louisa, I feel the same! The beauty of using navy as a base is that it goes so well with OTHER shades of blue, it's almost impossible to find a hue that won't pair with it. With black, unless one wants to make a collection of "shades or gray", it's not as easy. My travel capsule usually has navy and lighter/brighter shades or blue, white and flax, and one or two accents, depending on location and weather. Sometimes I pack pops of red, sometimes is fuchsia or teal...but even if I limit it to "shades of blue" and "shades of white" I feel plenty satisfied in its variety in a way "black and white" doesn't. Also, I leave room to buy one locally-produced accessory wherever I go---a necklace or big earrings in a bright color, local leather or cork goods, wooden or brass bracelets, a colorful scarf or woven clutch...that way they inject excitement to my travel outfits AND become a souvenir of that particular trip once I return home. (So much better than magnets!)
Yes, I use navy blue or a deep purple red color as my matching/combination color with black.
Add me to the Navy based capsule packing. Not only does it pair well with my favorite accent color - magenta - it also pairs well with black - in fact my Tumi backpack and my travel sun hat both are two-toned with a hint of black since there are times a black sundress or pants is desirable. I use scarves to add color in a carry-on friendly way - I have a print and a solid whisper light silk/cashmere rectangle scarf that can be tied as a shawl or just thrown on to add a little color and zip to a monochromatic wardrobe.
In my seventies. Learned so much from this and tested it for cruising in colder climates. I’m into black, beige, grey and rust. Love the capsule wardrobe.
I have watched this video more than a few times over the past few years...surely I am not alone. If people think that the palette is boring, just use the pieces shown as a template of sorts. Use pieces that coordinate that are your style. I personally do not get tired of black & white, but love to throw in a camel or pink sweater, a print blouse, scarves, etc. Wearing the same bottom totally makes sense for simplicity's sake. Great info, thank for sharing, enjoy!
Thank you & helpful. 😅
Same😊 This video is super helpful and sparks ideas for creating your own capsule.
I’ve rewatched several times too! Yes, I love how clearly she is relaying the template. We can apply it to our favorite staple or palette.
Fourteen pieces of my size 20’s don’t fold down enough to fit in a carry on. lol
I agree that this is one of the best packing videos ever! You managed to look so chic while packing light. Thank you for this!
So chic and love the mono chromatic idea because it makes it easy to mix and match outfits especially on vacation and packing with only a carry on!
Loved loved your video. Timeless and great tips that can be modified for those of us that have a few extra pounds longer tunics over pants... Fabulous affordable. Great great video thank you!❤
Thank you . You’re a treat to watch, and so helpful! I’ve traveled the world, but still learned a thing or two.
I love mix and match!!!! Versatility and fun too. Thank you ❤ 😊
This is my all-time favorite video about how to get the most out of your clothing pieces. I love your style! It’s so effortless but elegant at the same time. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, I learned so much from this video. I am a notorious over-packer. I like what you've done here; you've kept it short, sweet, and straightforward. This is a plan that I can work with.
What a fabulous looking lady & her packing regime is ace!! She’s sooo very stylish & gorgeous looking and is soo practical & has it off to a tee! Great video with loads of great ideas & loved that she showed each of the outfits! 👏👍🙏🏻 (I wud love to see really that they all fitted into the one carry on bag though?)
You're right - you're a packing genius! I've watched 40+ packing hack videos but your visuals brought it down to the 1st grade level for me and that's what I needed all along. I printed the packing list, used what I had to follow the plan - then bought the rest (thank you SHEIN & Amazon). Now all I need to do is book a doggone trip. Thank you so very much!
Where did you find the packing list?
a black blazer is your best friend! I always travel with one! great video, i love that you showed how you paired the outfits.
Thank you for this amazing video!! On my first trip to Italy I was "worried" about what to bring and didn't want to bring a ton of clothes I'd have to carry and probably never wear. I followed your directions and it was the best decision I made. Your suggestions guided me on what I needed to buy and how to maximize the use of my clothes.
Hello Christina! THANK YOU so much for these traveling outfit ideas! You have changed the way I pack for vacations. Great ideas!
God bless you!
Just got my first pair of Poly Leather pants! I'm in love, cos there's so many ways to dress them up or down!❤❤❤
Love these ideas!! Beautiful items and smart ideas with the sanitizing kit!! Would love to see more of these videos❤
one of the best travel wardrobe videos I've seen. so helpful. TY!
My absolute favourite packing/styling video ever!!!!! Please do more!
This is probably one of the best packing videos I've seen! I pack quite similarly, black & white plus blue jeans. I really like the styles of tops you bring! Hi-heels aren't for me so I take ballet flats. I need to find a packable blazer like yours. Thank you for all the great tips and making a short informative video.
Like you, I don't wear 'heels' on trips. I pack ballet flats 2 pairs - Pleather AND velvet) - but also weightless bling thong sandals, PLUS bronze thong sandals. I skip the blue jeans - prefer charcoal gray leggings with pockets that I wear on both departure days and chilly hotel rooms.
These ideas were excellent! I'll be going on a cruise this December for a week and right after the cruise, onto Florida for a week. So this information will be quite handy. Thanks for sharing!
A women after my own heart! You are a packing genius. I know exactly what to pack now and I don't have to break the bank, because I have most similar items. Thanks so much!
Your bright ideas inspired me. Thanks for your packing and travel tips,. Very practical !
Loved this video! I wish you did more like this. I am an experienced traveler but I still picked up a few tips, thanks!
The outfit ideas just saved me so much time. I just shopped my closet and I'm packed! I owned a lot of the items and never wore them together. Thanks for these great tips!
Such a great video. Fresh take on a travel wardrobe. Not at all boring. Classy and chic and works with so many looks.
Absolutely love your ideas. Bringing a large tote bag on the plane is fabulous.
Love what you did for packing. Very helpful. Thanks a lot .
Great tips, on my two weeks trip to Italy as it was Sumner I change the pallette colores from black and white to blues and camel, it looks elegant
Excellent packing video. Everything packed is something I would actually wear!
Your tips snd style is Right On!! I bought the basic blk jacket and the skimpy heels. Wonderful. I always wear blk and white for three weeks travel. The brand I swear by is Vince also linen casual pants and white sleeveless top. I get many compliments. I don’t wear a dress traveling alone unless it’s long in conservative country.
Thank you so much for your guidance!!
Enjoyed your video & ideas. Even though time has passed, I will realign a bit for my age & comfort, I have preplanned & can do almost the same w/comfort & easy roll fabrics for carry on. We've been fortunate in traveling often & retirement has been an adventure. I must admit Skeechers are a must wear now at 76. Just some adaptations to aging needs but thank goodness for 'golf cart vehicles' in big airports!!!!
Happy travels everyone!
I was watching this and literally taking out a bunch of clothes out of my suitcase; thank you so much!
Love this! Just returned from Italy and then Chile. I am learning to plan and pack better each time. This video helped a lot. I really appreciate the links you provide...(now if I can find them again). I JUST completed curating and purchasing an all black "workout" outfit with light jacket. It's packed in a cube...ready for my next trip.
Thank you!
Fabulous video! It makes me excited about the adventure of packing for a trip. Thanks for all of the links.
Fabulous such a clever concept will save & refer to this vlog in the future, thank you so much xx
Wow, so many great ideas! I'm traveling north in Aug for a week. Cant wait to try some of these outfits!
I loved everything and thought you did a wonderful presentation and list where to get things. Great job!
This is a great video about how to prepare outfits for a trip. I'll be travelling with a carry on only for the first time and I'll try these tips
As an over packer who is going to Italy for almost two weeks this fall THANK YOU!! I’m determined to only go with a small suitcase!
We're going to Italy next month. We're also getting on a cruise ship after 3 days in Rome.
@@Randilynn66 Then you’ll need to dress for dinner on the cruise.
@@wplains I know. We're staying in a suite too. So we have to dress up a bit.
@@Randilynn66 Cruises are fun. I had several where I had a balcony in my room.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not having it…
LOVED YR VIDEO.
I use a similar packing system.
I use only 2 or 3 colors so that all the items I bring on a trip can be mixed & matched for day & evening.
Fantastic! I can’t believe the difference the evening shoes make! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! Thank you so much for your tips. I always had trouble packing and choosing the right outfit for my trips. Or how to pack them!
This video is a great and fabulous and is been very helpful. Thank you! 😉😘
Love your packing list. Great job. The color palette may seem boring, but for travel this works--and every single day you still look fabulous. Bookmarking this one!
What brand jean are you wearing ?
I love this travel wardrobe video and keep coming back to it as it’s such a versatile guide to travelling a little bit lighter. I’d be so happy if you could do something similar for a winter trip, preferably for a really cold weather winter trip where you need thermals and lots of layers worn with a hat hat, gloves and scarf. It’s a much more challenging scenario. And I’d also love to see a carryon bag pack for mixed climates with both hot and cold weather destinations in the same trip. I’m in Australia so many of my trips encompass summer and winter packing together. All help would be greatly appreciated.
I loved the way you actually show the outfits.
I really loved this! You are a genius. Still fresh and relevant. I didn't realize how many dupes there were for my favorite designer tops. I will be better prepared now and will pack dupes so I don't have to worry about losing my luggage. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!! I've learned so much from you. I'm a HORRIBLE "packer"!!! LOL! I'm the picture beside the definition for 'everything but the kitchen sink' Haha!! Thanks again ❤👍
Loved this and could have used it a month ago when I overpacked lol!! But one tip my mother gave me years ago (which is same as you but the other way) is to wear a clean outfit for the evening and then dress down the next day. Definitely saving this for the future.
Also thought it would be really good to see up close how you put each item into the carry on.. maybe a part 2? But thank you for sharing 🙏
Great styling. Classic. I hope you make more videos like this! Thank you.
Wow! Genius! Thank you for teaching us these great tips and ideas! 💖
Wonderfully explained and thank you for the added links in case we want to make a purchase.
Love your videos, I dress very similar but I travel with much more clothes. I will try to follow your advise for my next trip.
Thank you for all your tips.
I love that lights mirror 😍😍😍😍😍😍 it's so unique and awesome
Thanks for the helpful vid! Can’t wait to try this! Please show us how to pack for a trip that includes hiking boots with hot day temps and cold night & morning temps.
Loved your sage wisdom and explanation on how you arrived at your decisions! Really helped seeing each option too! I have a faux leather blazer and carry it for the same reason you trust your leather pants. Which I never thought about until you connected the dots-which are easily cleanable and wipeable. 🤣 So many have suggested to try your line and I haven't yet made the plunge. What is the first item you know will make me come back for more? PS. YOU ARE IN DEED A PACKING GENIUS. Seriously, one tote, one carry on, tata to the luggage carrousel,💥mind blown.
Great list and ideas! I keep a bunch of masks in the car glove compartment also because I often forget to bring one wth me.
Your favorite strappy heels are fabulous. Even with the straps, they are leg-lengthening. Super wardrobe ideas!
Love KKUWAN the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other TH-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I had a book on "The Capsule Concept" in the 1980's! Same information, still very useful...
Awesome video! I suck at packing. Its always hodgepodge and then when I get to where I am going I have too much and not happy with my choices ! This is a must watch !!
Wonderful video, packed with information and really like that you wore the outfits as you described them. Thank you.
Excellent video. Saved me in a recent trip where an unexpected evening event came up. I was good to go with the black leather jeans and black top. I switched the blazer for a soft metallic-ish black moto jacket
Always carry nail file with me, too!! Used to bite my nails when younger so I hate to have snag or broken nail…real nail emergency, lol!
I think your trips are much higher end than mine have been. That being said, I usually pack for 1 week no matter how long the trip is. I've done a few 3-week trips on 1 week's worth of carry-on. Although it does depend on the airline's carry-on limit (7-10kg). 3-4 bottoms and 6-7 tops, walking shoes/sandals, nicer heels and maybe thongs (flip flops). A good jacket/coat, backpack and maybe a smaller bag depending on the type of trip. Depends on where you're going, time of year and what you're gonna be doing so it really comes down to that.
I do like how she put a bunch of stuff into a big tote for the plane. And a few choice pieces of jewellery - just keep to basics on a trip and the biggest piece of advice I could give about travel packing is take what you're prepared to lose. All that old shitty stuff that's wearing out, pack that. Because if it gets lost or stolen, it doesn't matter. It happened to me. That's how I learned to travel light.
Wise advice
Losing stuff always
Nightmare...😑
On one trip, I actually got back my lost checked luggage back - next day!!! :-) Nowadays, I never check luggage anymore. I've transformed from HEAVY 4 bag DIVA packer to minimalist in PERSONAL BAG ONLY. AND that's even wearing voluminous plus size/2XL. what a relief!!! It helps that my only makeup is sunscreen and ChapStick. Also, I've switched from fashionista outfits to comfy, comfy, comfy. I want to RELAX during my travels - not be bothered with trying for cute looks. I'd rather pack light - and do full-blown cute looks when I'm home with all my accessories and fancy outfits... Also, I try not to lug laptop. tfs!
Great video I wish I had seen this when I went to Europe this past summer wit a 50lb bag definitely saving it for future use
You are a lifesaver! Just what I needed, thank you ❤
A girl after my own heart. Black and white is my absolute go to!
Very helpful for those of us who don't travel often, and for every day fashion-challenged... I don't have any travel plans, but the outfit ideas are great for home life too! You are just beautiful, I'm so jealous of your makeup and style.
But I really have to know where the carryon tote bag is from! And it looks like a matching suitcase. Probably way more than I can afford, but I'd love to know the brand... I know this video is old (TH-cam just suggested it today) but I hope you still see this and can respond. Hugs!!
This video made me subscribe! Your voice is to easy to listen to and I love this little travel capsule wardrobe you created! Thank you
I have watched a lot of travel packing videos and in my opinion, yours is the best
My wardrobe is all off-white/brown/blush so I’m taking your guide with my color palette for packing!
Such great information!!! Thank you! I usually have issues with fitting my shoes in my one-only luggage. I do not know how you possibly fitted all that and still just have a carry-on. Good on you. I am going to give it a try. I adore your mirror.
Love your carry-on n suit case. So cute 🥰 Awesome ideas. I carry zip loc bags that have Bobbie pins and clips.
Great way to pack the essentials for traveling. I'll have to do something similar for my hospital visits as I tend to take too much with me.
I like the idea with the leather pants and portable mirror. I didn't realize how important the lighting for makeup was until I did my makeup at work in my office. The lighting was dark and the makeup doesn't come out as good when your lighting is bad.
Very economical and strategic packing. Can't wait to imply your tips when packing for the Dec holiday. Brilliant video
I want to know the where you bought your tote bag and what brand is that?
I think that's a Coach bag
I need that mirror in my life!! Great video. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Love your tote -- wish it was still available! What a great design!
What i always Carry is a Big shawl. Can be used to sit on, as a plaid over your knees and over your shoulders. I would never efter lave my House without
Also can use a scarf as a beach sarong coverup
CJ: Love these simple ideas to maximize a week of outfits with a carryon - very doable for touring or casual trip from spring to fall. I do this for business, as well. Even winter is easy with more layers.
Traveling once or twice every month, I've found the older I get, the more I want to do carryon only. Why? Lost and delayed baggage can absolutely ruin a business trip and my budget when I need to chase down business attire for an early morning meeting. Not fun (and sometimes not even possible, depending on where I happen to be.) The small hassle of lifting my bag into an overhead is more than worth the confidence that everything I need for my trip is with me. If I have a tight window to get to a meeting or activity, the benefit is that I can head straight for a taxi or Uber, bypassing the luggage carousel.
More important: I have learned that tourism traveling in Europe and other international destinations requires smaller carryon bags (regional planes) and ease of movement once on the ground (trains that have two minute stops which makes wrestling large bags foolish, buses with limited storage and short stops.) Less baggage also lowers my international travel costs significantly -- since you are charged by the size and number of bags for regional planes, taxis, shuttles.
Once I realized that the odds of a bag being lost or delayed is 1 in 250 -- and airlines don't consider a bag truly 'lost' until it's been missing for 21 days - the stress of worrying about whether my luggage would make it on quick layovers inspired me to be a lifetime Team Carryon member. There is good news. 97% of delayed luggage is found within 48 hours. The bad news is, unless you are home or planning to stay in one spot until your luggage is found, purchasing clothing and toiletries is going to have to be added to your itinerary and you won't see your bag again until you're back at the airport heading home. If I'm on a two or three day trip, this means not only do I have to buy clothing (and a suitcase to ship it home) but I won't be able to charge the airline for any or all of those costs, depending on the carrier.
Cruise ship trips makes this even more problematic, as you're in a different location every day, sometimes in areas that make it unlikely the airline will deliver your luggage to you. Having seen meltdowns on so many trips and social media over delayed and lost luggage, I'm not willing to travel with what I can't carry on the plane or lift onto a train or bus.
Ultimately, we all get to decide what our comfort level is for travel and bringing our necessities with us. By being creative and utilizing the tips of mixing and matching a travel capsule wardrobe can easily shift outfits from casual to evening. For me, the peace that comes from traveling with carryon luggage is worth the extra planning!
On one trip, I actually got back my lost checked luggage back - next day!!! :-) Nowadays, I never check luggage anymore. I've transformed from HEAVY 4 bag DIVA packer to minimalist in PERSONAL BAG ONLY. AND that's even wearing voluminous plus size/2XL. what a relief!!!

I want to RELAX during my travels - not be bothered with trying for cute looks. I'd rather pack light - and do full-blown cute looks when I'm home with all my accessories and fancy outfits... Also, I try not to lug laptop. And I LOVE the planning part. I plan and practice packing weeks in advance [I don't travel much now]. tfs!
Thanks for including the list. Very organized.
Great tip! Pretty much what I do except for summer time, I bring scarves of different colors for accents and to keep me warm on the plane.
Fabulous ideas! I'm old and arthritic, so no longer wear heels (and consequently most skirts and dresses), but you've given me some great ideas for my next Southern California vacation. It'll be grand to have a bag light enough for me to lift into the overhead bin without help.
Don’t ever feel like you’re putting someone out by asking for help putting your bag in the overhead. Flight attendants are trained to do that and being able to lift up to 45-50 pounds overhead is part of the training/hiring.
In most situations now, flight attendants are not allowed by their airline to lift your cases into the overhead compartments for you.
This is great!
Do you have a video for packing for a beach vacation? Thank you!
This is a great idea to create two outfits for the day with one top 😀 👌 👍 Thank you for this videos
Thank you for your HELP as I pack for 3+ weeks in Europe. I love your style! The final part of my trip is a trans-Atlantic cruise with two formal "black tie" nights...
Great video - you've inspired me - will copy this almost to the T! I always take too much away with me. Some people are hopeless at putting a wardrobe together - and I'm one of them! Thanks.
Me too. End of trying to convey every contingency. Then when things don't mix and match I end up only wearing 3 or 4 outfits anyway! Plus a lotta outdoor activities means sweating in tropical areas. I need to check that wash and squeeze bag (forgot the name)
Greetings from Washington, the DC area - first-time subscriber! Great tips, and perhaps I'll try for my upcoming five-day trip home to my family in California! I'm so bad about overpacking whenever I travel, either domestic or overseas! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Wow ! What a great and helpful video. First time I have visited your channel. Your style is so lovely and chic and fresh.
Im going to Barcelona Sicily and Florence in September for 2 weeks. Determined to take only a large tote & carry on. I'm inspired and informed! Thank you!
Really good video, lots of great tips - I'm thinking that another classic color like navy, chocolate, camel, can work equally well instead of black.
Great point! The black and white is very chic, but that's too much for me personally. I learned years ago, never leave home without blue jeans 😂
Yes. As I have gotten older I don't look as good in black as I used to. Now I use a good dark navy as my "black". I still love black though. So chic.
Yes! I only use navy, croc, or silver/pewter in place of Black.
Sooooo…. After watching this I totally realized I’m a baggage carousal kind of girl. I totally do it! I’ll wait!
That mirror is brilliant!
Love all the combinations of outfits. It's pretty much my style. Some poeces I have but now I i need to get some more pieces because I love it all.
