Less Is More
As much as you might be tempted, don’t overpack your suitcase.
Giving your clothes room to breathe means less compression and, in turn, fewer wrinkles.
“There is more space, fewer wrinkles, and it makes repacking a pleasure.
Plus, it leaves room to bring home souvenirs.”
“This will help keep things orderly so everything has a place,” says Banks.
“Rolling clothes or gently placing them in packing cubes helps to keep wrinkles away.”
Packing cubes also keep items separated and organized, she says.
This helps keep them wrinkle-free and ready to wear.
Banks suggests that the warm moisture from the steam will help release minor wrinkles.
Layering is key to minimizing wrinkles.
Start by placing shoes and heavier items at the bottom of your suitcase.
Lay rolled or folded clothes on top, and save the most delicate pieces for the top layer.
