Question #1 Work with core items that you can mix and match for maximum versatility. For example one pair of jeans in classic blue, black pants, a casual and a formal skirt, shorts and a handful of tops that can go with everything. A classic ‘wear anywhere’ black blazer or a neutral leather jacket is also a good option. They will work with anything and can be dressed up or down. Before you pack, workshop all the items to ensure that they go together and work in different combinations. It often helps to take a few snapshots of outfits so that you can remember them, as you will have so many other things to think about upon arrival. Also, place a special focus on accessories. By adding an accessory to a core, classic item you can dramatically change the look. Accessories are smaller and pack more easily.
