Packing for an extended weekend isn’t an exact science. A lot depends on where you are going, the weather, and your personal style. So before you go tossing in a bunch of unneeded items, we'll give you a few tips on how to keep your bag small, tidy and manageable!
 
Minimize clothing basics. Resist the urge to pack a complete outfit (with matching shoes) for each day. Instead, pack some basics and plan to mix and match them - bonus if they are naturally wrinkle-free fabrics. Remember to only bring what you absolutely need, not what you MIGHT need. Some tips: choose solid colors instead of prints to maximize outfit combos and for ladies - dresses can easily transition from day to night with the right accessories.

Remember additional clothing items. Extra undergarments are always handy and take up minimal space in a bag. Pack an extra set of underwear and socks should you need a change, a bathing suit if needed, and a set of lightweight pajamas.  If you are attending a nice event, remember to bring an appropriate outfit.

Choose shoes wisely. You’ll want to bring a pair of practical shoes that you can wear for extended periods of time and that go along with different outfit combinations. You may also want to bring a nicer pair for a more upscale look and sandals should you be going poolside.

Keep toiletries tiny. Any personal item you wish to bring, opt for it in travel size - or simply pour your home products into small travel bottles. Hotels typically have soap, shampoo, and conditioner at your disposal so you may be able to slim down on the amount of toiletries you plan to bring.

Consider everything else. Don’t forget any necessary prescription medications, or allergy/motion sickness remedies if needed. Prepare for the elements, if you wear hats - bring one, otherwise pack a compact umbrella should rain come your way. Include any necessary chargers (cellphone, laptop, camera, etc.) and consider packing a stain remover pen for emergency situations.
