What you can manage with on a week of holiday

Short answer: If you can wash along the way, three sets of underwear, three pairs of socks, three tops and two pairs of trousers cover a week. Without washing, seven sets of underwear are needed.

Underwear and socks

The two groups decide how much you have to pack. See bamboo underwear for men.

Washing along the way

Thin clothes can be rinsed in the evening and be dry by morning. See how to wash clothes while travelling.

Tops

Three in neutral colours can be combined in several ways. See bamboo t-shirts for men.

Trousers

Two pairs cover a week if one works for both day and evening.

For women

See the corresponding pieces in bamboo underwear for women.

Packing

Roll rather than fold, so the clothes crease least. See the packing list.

Washing

40 degrees back home, and air drying along the way. See the washing guide.

What can stay at home

Extra shoes and a smart set for an evening you probably will not have are what most often takes up space needlessly. See bamboo clothing for women.
