How to pack for a business trip
Hit the ground running.
RESOURCEFUL, EFFICIENT, SKILLED – AND YOU’VE NOT EVEN HAD YOUR MEETING YET
• WORDS: C. STEWART
There are many takes out there on how to pack a suitcase, but our take is that the way you pack a suitcase for a business trip and how you’d do it for a holiday are two different things. Less squeezing in one too many pairs of swim shorts and an ill-thought-out novelty print shirt you definitely won’t wear, more select items folded for minimal wrinkles and in outfit-ready bundles so you can hit the ground running.
Here’s how to do it.
HOW TO PACK A SUITCASE
SUIT
- Lay your jacket face down
- Fold over one shoulder
- Tuck the other shoulder inside
- Fold again
- Lay your trousers lengthways
- Place your jacket on top
- Wrap your trousers around
SHIRT
- Fold one side in and line up the sleeve’s edge
- Repeat on the other side
- Fold your shirt in half
SOCKS AND SHOES
- Fold then roll your socks
- Stuff them inside your shoes
TIP: roll your belt to fit into your shoes too.
YOU’RE ALL SET
