What is your best tip for things to get rid of and things to keep?
How do you recommend planning clothing for light (1 checked bag) travel to varied climates?

Traveling light:
1. Layers. Tank tops that can also be worn under shirts.
2. Colors: stick with one palette, or neutrals. Use scarves or a shawl for pops of color.
3. Fabrics that you can roll up for packing, and are unwrinkled when unpacked. Rayon is wonderful in the humid tropics and dries quickly on a line or hanger. Avoid most polyester for hot climates. Crinkle-textured cotton/rayon blends look polished and keep their shape; not stretchy.
4. For warmth, if you like (and can easily manage) shawls, they’re fantastic for carry-on travel. Good for on flights, flat for packing, can be worn for dressing up or down.
