To pack clothes in a suitcase, it is essential to narrow down your must-haves and carefully arrange your clothes using your favorite packing technique. Wrinkle-resistant fabric is crucial for a comfortable and wrinkle-resistant wardrobe. Keep clothes in place with dry cleaning bags and toss in an extra bag for laundry.
When packing for a beach trip or business trip, consider your mode of transportation and choose clothes that are comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, and make you feel good about yourself. Choose versatile clothing that saves space and reduces wrinkles. Roll clothes instead of folding them to reduce wrinkles and save space. When arriving at your destination, hang the clothes to prevent wrinkles. Bundle clothes by filling a small pouch with socks.
Pack heavy pairs at the bottom of your suitcase. Roll clothes tightly instead of folding them and use packing cubes for organization. Rubber bands or packing cubes can help keep rolled clothes compact and organized. Cut down on clothes and use compression dry bags to fit better into your backpack.
Lay out clothes by activity to ensure everything you need is available. Start with socks and underwear, then wrap the shirt, and then the pants. This method keeps each outfit together and accessible, making packing for a quick and easy trip.
In summary, packing clothes in a suitcase requires careful planning, choosing versatile items, and using packing cubes and organizing techniques. By following these tips, you can maximize space and minimize wrinkles while packing for your next adventure.

When I travel it’s often for many months at a time and to two different weather extremes, winter and summer so there’s usually a good 30kg in my main pack/suitcase alone, often up to 15kg in my carry-on bag as well, there’s a lot of stuff, partly for my work as well. The point is that either way, whether I get all anal and pack the bag carefully along the lines of this or by the end of a trip I’m just stuffing it all in because I can no longer be bothered, it all fits in as there are efficient ‘suitcase stuffing’ techniques as well….haha !!
This is interesting, it’s probably not a good idea to do this every day, but for the length of time that most people travel, I don’t see any problems. Doing the socks in this fashion is far easier than the way I was taught to roll socks, and this is slightly smaller. I’ll have to keep this in mind for my next overnight motorcycle road trip.
What I find to be the most efficient way of packing is to cut each piece of clothing into rectangles the size of your luggage, lay them down, and stack them up. Pack a needle and thread to sew them back together when you unpack. I can fit about 20 shirts, 10 pairs of pants, and 30 pairs of socks into a standard carry-on suitcase.
Watching you fold the collar of a dress shirt like that made me cringe. If you have to travel for a few days before you get to the dress shirt, you’ll have a hell of a time ironing it out. I’m sure there’s a better way to do it that won’t crease the collar. Other than that, good stuff! Going to Disneyland for a week tomorrow and I only want to bring one bag. I think I can manage that with this tip. Thanks dude!
I have never found that rolling clothes reduces their volume……in fact logically it doesn’t …..it’s the same amount of volume. I have found ironing and folding clothes is just as effective with the added advantage that my clothes stay pressed…..I’ve heard people say that rolling them stops wrinkles but I’ve never found that to be true either. It may help you to pack if your using an unstructured & vertical pack like a Rucksack ( like the military do & probably where this came from ) but other than that it has no advantages. It seems to be a meme….. Anyone who wants to try a direct comparison will find that what I’m saying is true. I find that placing most of my socks & underwear between the two struts at the bottom of my rolling suitcase flattens that area & allows for ease of packing. I have found that not packing a towel or using a very light weight travel towel works.If your visiting a relative/friend/hotel use their towels ……if not……pack a travel towel. I keep shoes to a minimum usually the ones I’m wearing & flip flops …….light weight jackets are either worn or carried by hand….in summer I might pack them as summer clothes are lighter & usually take up less volume. As for toiletries ..I usually pack a toothbrush,toothpaste & a bar of soap, deo & meds (YES !!!… I have washed my hair with a bar of soap & my underwear…It’s no big deal !!!)….it will get you by in a pinch if the shops aren’t open & if they are open you can buy them at your destination along with nail scissors & makeup for the ladies etc.
Still a great travel article! I’ve learned a lot on this tips and hacks! thank you so much! I just want to share that above all the hacks for my travel, the greatest tip and secret I for a great travel for me, is finding my Nomad Lane Bento bag that I have been using for quite some travels already. Such a great bag that makes my travel with so much ease and comfort because of its great features.
I don’t see how this saves space. I think a flat method is much more spacially efficient. With a rolled shape you obtain a cylindrical item. Imagine stacking a bunch of cylinders horizontally to form a wall. Can you picture all those gaps at the corners of each circle? Now imagine the same wall made of rectangles. No gaps, meaning a shorter wall. That’s why a flat fold is more economical.
Ranger roll is a shit method for packing. Except for certain materials, your clothes will wrinkle a literal fuckton. And if you need it for saving space on a vacation, you’re bringing along way too much shit. I packed 16 days worth of clothing by folding it normally… in a *carry-on bag*. On top of that, it’s several times more work to actually pack things. And as someone who loathes packing: Fuck no.
Do not take any underware, toiletries, snacks or chargers. They cannot be rolled. I flatpach, fill in small spaces with underwear, socks and nightdress. This rolling damaged clothes as it streth seams. People are always amazed about what pop out of my suitcase. I take a few netbags – the once you use inside a washing machine for rirty clothes.
Unraveling? All that tucking at the end is overkill. How the heck are your clothes going to come unraveled in your suitcase? And how are your clothes going to become unraveled when you take some clothes out of your suitcase? It’s not like all of the clothes immediately expand once the suitcase top is opened or when one piece of adjacent clothing is removed from your suitcase.
Seriously? If I had to roll my clothes like this I’d stop travelling – are your socks ironed? Rolling clothes should not be an excuse for taking so much. It looks heavy. Repectfully, merino wool is a better option to synthetics – it breathes, does not smell, is lightweight and dries quickly and is pleasant against the body:) Cute dog:)
