What I packed for Australia — in a carry-on. My packing strategy is simple: Start with shoes. Plan outfit categories. Choose pieces that mix easily. For this trip my categories were: • active • sightseeing • casual dinners That structure keeps the capsule flexible without overpacking. Save this if you want a simple way to plan your next travel wardrobe. Do you plan outfits for a trip — or pack by category like this? ⚠️ The travel day pants are a true gem and one of my favorite pairs for versatility - they look good casual or dressed up, BUT…they are on the thicker side and are not the best pants for hot destinations.
