The post 3 Things You Should Never Double-Pack for Your Winter Trips appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Boots
One good pair of boots is all you’ll need on your winter trip, and you don’t even have to pack it at all. Boots are heavy and they take up a lot of space and that’s reason enough why they don’t belong inside your suitcase. Opt for a pair in a neutral color, put it on before heading to the airport, and you’ll be good to go.

Jackets aren’t especially heavy, but they’re bulky and take up a lot of space, and that’s why you should always stick to the one you’re already wearing. Just like with boots, opt for the one that pairs well with everything you wear, and make your outfits pop with scarves and hats.
Bulky Clothes
Warm clothes are often bulky and they’ll take up a lot of space in your suitcase. That’s why you should consider packing lighter clothes that you can layer. You can also wear your bulkiest sweater or hoodie while you travel so you could wash it and use it again.

]]>Roll Your Clothes
Rolling instead of folding your clothes is a popular packing technique that is said to save space. If you aren’t packing bulky items, it isn’t always necessary, but if you are, it can make a huge difference. It’s invaluable for winter packing.
Wear Your Bulkiest Stuff on the Plane
Sure, it might be a little uncomfortable walking through security and sitting on a plane in a fluffy parka and chunky scarf, but you’ll be glad you did when it allows you to fit twice as many clothes in your suitcase. Don’t forget, you can always take these off during your flight.
Use the Right Bag
A lot of the time, you’ll be able to fit much more winter clothing in a flexible bag like a duffle or a light travel backpack than you can in more rigid luggage like a hard-shell suitcase.

]]>Bulky Clothes
Packing your bulkiest clothes is a big no-no when it comes to your winter trips. One jacket and a pair of boots are quite enough for a single trip, and you should wear them during your flight. You can also put on your bulkiest sweater and wash it once you reach the destination so you could wear it again.
Wearing Again
It’s easy to re-wear certain types of clothes on several occasions during your trip—especially pants. You can embrace the same strategy with shirts and sweaters by doing your laundry along the way, but it’s important to pack clothes that can dry pretty quickly.
Planning Your Outfits
One of the most effective strategies for saving luggage space, no matter what the season, is to carefully plan your outfits. By doing so, you’ll avoid the problem of packing extra clothes if you don’t have anything to pair them with—or enough time to wear every outfit that pops into your mind.
