The festive season is here, and many are travelling upcountry, going on vacations, or embarking on various escapades. For such trips, a travel capsule wardrobe is ideal, focusing on versatile, mix-and-match pieces in a simple colour palette. When travelling, it is advisable to wear your heaviest items, such as coats or boots, to save space in your luggage. Accessories like scarves and jewellery can help change up your look, especially if your journey spans several days and nights. Also, roll your clothes instead of folding them; rolling saves space and minimises wrinkles.

The key to packing light is choosing clothes that work for multiple outfits. Stick to simple layers, dresses that suit any occasion, and your favourite jeans. Ensure your shoes are comfortable enough for sightseeing yet stylish enough for a restaurant.
