Summer is just around the corner, and it’s bringing many amazing things our way, including the highly-anticipated summer vacation. If you already know where you’re going, you just need to pack your bags and hit the road. This brief guide is here to help you avoid making the most common summer packing mistakes.
Overpacking
Summer clothes are so light and breezy that it would be a huge shame to pay extra baggage fees. Only pack the things that you need and try to stick to versatile pieces that you can mix and match with ease.
Shoes
Shoes tend to take up too much space in the suitcase so try to stick to three pairs at most—one for comfort, one for the beach, and one for going out.
Towels
Towels are one of the bulkiest items that you’re going to pack and they can take up a lot of space, so only consider bringing them if your accommodation doesn’t provide them.
Swimwear
If there’s one piece of clothing that you shouldn’t try to save space on, it’s definitely swimwear. Swimsuit will barely take up any room in your suitcase, so feel free to pack at least two pairs.
Summer Clothes Only
Summer temperatures are usually pretty high, but you should still pack a few pieces of warmer clothing to prepare yourself for potential weather variations.
