The spare clothes worth keeping ready
Short answer: One set of underwear, a pair of socks and a t-shirt in the car or at work save the days when something goes wrong. It takes less space than a lunchbox.
Keep it in one fixed place
Spare clothes only work if you know where they are. Choose one place and keep it current. See bamboo underwear for women.
Replace it twice a year
Clothing left in a car for a year turns damp and starts to smell. Replace it at the change of season. See bamboo socks for women.
Choose thin items
Thin items take less room and cover more situations. A thick jumper is rarely what you are missing. See bamboo t-shirts for women.
Keep it in a sealed bag
A zip bag keeps the clothes dry and clean, even in a boot. See bamboo clothing for women.
