21. Short of balling it up, pack a suit however you want. Hang it immediately when you arrive—and, assuming it’s wool, you can always do the shower steam trick for funky creases.

22. Better yet, pack a miniature travel steamer with you to always have in a pinch.

23. A good hat can do a lot of work for your fit on vacation. A couple of hats make rewearing a fit a viable option.

24. Always pack a swimsuit. No matter where you’re going, no matter the weather, you never know when an impromptu swimming or sauna situation will arise.

25. Ditto for sunglasses. (And, though less fun, same goes for a thin rain jacket.)

26. Pack more socks and underwear than you think you’ll need. Number of days times 1.25 should do the trick.

27. Keep a pair of good wool socks on you to keep your feet warm on the plane. (Elite move: Pack a set of plane slippers too.)

28. No more than three shoes in your bag: formal shoes, workout sneakers, and something extra, like a cheeky sandal. What you’re wearing is a freebie—and if you’re bringing boots, wear them on the plane.

29. Those shoes are dirty. Pack each pair in their original shoe bags or, barring that, at least a plastic bag.

30. Don’t forget a spare plastic bag for your laundry (beyond the packing cubes) to keep everything stinky fully separate on the way home.

31. But when it comes to your toiletries, you’ve outgrown a Ziploc. Buy a proper Dopp kit. The best kinds roll up and hang from a hook, so you can quickly access whatever you need, even in a cramped bathroom.

32. Have a travel-size set of toiletries that only go on trips, and keep them in that Dopp kit when you’re not on the road. Replenish as needed.

33. Keep that Dopp kit in your personal item—you’re going to be desperate for toothpaste and deodorant after a long-haul flight.

34. Another totally different path, especially if you’re checking a bag and can carry liquids on the way back: Buy all your toiletries upon arrival and embrace the cultural immersion that is local deodorant, toothpaste, and painkillers.

35. Don’t bring a suitcase that looks like everyone else’s—pick something with a color, or personalize it, to minimize the chances of losing it. (But there’s nothing lamer than putting airline status brag tags on your luggage.)
