You also don’t want to waste space on an umbrella, shorts, or a heavy coat if they’re not likely to be needed.

]]> 21054 1 38 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/38.jpg Choose neutral colors Allow yourself a few favorite pieces of clothes for fun or special occasions in colors that you love. Everything else should be dark or neutral colors that can be worn with these pieces and mixed and matched with each other to create a number of outfits.

]]> 21055 2 50 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/50.jpg Think two Follow the general rule of two: pack 2 short-sleeved shirts, 2 long-sleeved shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, and 2 pairs of long pants.

]]> 21056 3 60 Tip Limit pants to your favorite jeans and a pair of black pants that can be dressed up or down as the situation warrants.

]]> 21057 4 66 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/66.jpg Choose fabrics wisely Choose clothes made from synthetic fabrics, especially underwear and socks. When hand-washed, they’ll drip-dry twice as fast as cotton, so you can pack fewer of them.

]]> 21058 5 76 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/76.jpg Bring two pairs of shoes Do your very best to bring only two pairs of shoes: comfortable walking shoes and something that can be worn to a nice restaurant or club at night. Wear the bulkier of the two on the plane.

]]> 21059 6 89 Tip For times when you don’t need to be dressed to impress—like if you’re going on a hiking trip or to a nudist colony—pack clothes you can throw away to make room for any new purchases.

]]> 21060 7 97 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/97.jpg Roll Tightly roll your tops and pants and secure them with rubber bands. Save extra space by stuffing your shoes with socks and filling outside pockets with smaller items like underwear.

]]> 21061 8 108 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/108.jpg Pack toiletries The FAA prohibits liquids in quantities of more than three ounces—a rule that forces you to pack wisely. Buy three-ounce containers to fill with your most essential toiletries, and put a couple of each into one-quart zip-top plastic bags. Stuff the bags into the nooks and crannies of your luggage.

]]> 21062 9 127 Tip Be ruthless when editing your toiletries. Take only what you expect to use—not every shade of lipstick you own, or every medicine in your cabinet.

]]> 21063 10 137 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1099/137.jpg Pack straps Bring some extra straps for your carry-on so you can attach bulky items like a jacket or sweater. You can also use them at night to create a laundry line.You’ve done it. Now don’t you feel as light as a feather?

]]> 21064 11 149 Fact So-called “carry-on champs” tie with “armrest hogs” as the third most annoying type of air traveler.
