The less baggage I bring, the better it is. Here are some tips I learned over the years to help you travel light on your next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to travel light is by simply planning a few days. Once you plan your trip, you can make a list of the essential items to bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose pieces in three matching colors so you can mix and match to create multiple outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neutrals (black, white, navy, tan, denim) will tie your wardrobe together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few great basics are a pair of jeans, a white tee, a pair of shorts, a casual coat or cardigan, comfy sneakers, and sandals or booties. Don\u2019t forget the little black dress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing a few thin layers. Layers take up less space\u00a0and offer much more flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1097\" height=\"730\" src=\"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-1097x730.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9354\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-1097x730.jpg 1097w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-570x379.jpg 570w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-768x511.jpg 768w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-90x60.jpg 90w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-320x213.jpg 320w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-560x373.jpg 560w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-782x520.jpg 782w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-1136x756.jpg 1136w, http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/travel-1-1920x1278.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1097px) 100vw, 1097px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a weekend trip pack about 10-15 pieces and for a 2-week trip: pack 15-20 pieces. Bring no more than two pairs of shoes and don\u2019t bring heels! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having one carry-on during your trip makes it much easier. Not only do you have little to carry with you, but your trip will also be more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not have to worry about losing checked-in luggage if you only have a carry-on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time we pack too many clothes and shoes. Suitcase space is precious. Don\u2019t waste it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing beats having the least number of items in my suitcase when I&#8217;m&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"location":[],"class_list":["post-9347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9347"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9356,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9347\/revisions\/9356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9347"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sienna.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=9347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
