It is best to have two pairs of bottoms (pants, shorts, or skirts) for each week that you'll be staying. Plan on bringing four shirts per week, and two jackets to layer for warmth (if you're traveling to a cool or cold destination). For a two-week trip, you need four bottoms and eight tops.
2. Do the clothing countdown: If you need a mantra to help streamline your wardrobe, use the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule for a weeklong trip: Limit yourself to no more than five sets of socks and underwear, four tops, three bottoms, two pairs of shoes and one hat.

For Trips Lasting 6-10 DaysMeaning, the sweet spot is roughly four to seven shirts, two to three pairs of pants, and two sets of pajamas. The limit is seven shirts; assuming you're not sweating through them like you're in the Sahara, you can re-wear one or two.

If you have unlimited suitcase space and don't want to do any laundry, a two-week trip means packing 14/2 = 7 bras and at least 14 pairs of underwear. That consumes a lot of valuable suitcase space! To reduce the number of pieces that need to be packed, simply commit to doing laundry on the road.
Make a checklist beforehand. The most important way to prepare for packing for vacation is to make a list. By thinking ahead of what you actually need (outfits, beach gear, toiletries, etc.), you can write items down on a list, so you're less likely to add unnecessary items to your suitcase when you begin packing.
