How many outfits can you fit in a suitcase?
The average 22-inch carry-on bag fits roughly two pairs of jeans, three sweaters, two dresses, and five shirts. If you can, choose knits, wools, and cottons because these fabrics tend to resist wrinkles and be versatile (some garments can do double duty, like yoga pants that moonlight as pajamas).
Do the clothing countdown: If you need a mantra to help streamline your wardrobe, use the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule for a weeklong trip: Limit yourself to no more than five sets of socks and underwear, four tops, three bottoms, two pairs of shoes and one hat.
When traveling, clothing tends to get super compressed, and even slightly damp from the changes in moisture when flying. It's best to pack to minimize this wrinkling, and we feeling rolling does the best job on that aspect. Rolling your clothing is also generally preferred by most frequent fliers.
A general rule of thumb for deciding how much to pack for 10 days is: undergarments and socks for each day, no more than three pairs of shoes (including the ones worn onto the plane), one bottom for every two or three days of the trip, six tops, one jacket or sweater, one dressy outfit, and then some well-chosen extras ...

The size of an extra-large cabin suitcase is around 56 cm or 22 inches in height with a capacity of up to 50 litres. This is more spacious than the standard large cabin suitcase adding an extra 5 litres in capacity.
These are extra-large checked suitcases that often measure 31-32” with the wheel and handle, and they are rare. Most brands will have a 28” suitcase as their biggest option – these bags often have a capacity of 90-100 liters, which is more than enough for the average person.
Most domestic airlines publish checked baggage size limits as a single dimension: 62 linear inches total. International airlines vary slightly, but the 62-inch rule is the most common standard worldwide. Bags larger than 62 linear inches can still fly, but they may be subject to additional fees.
Aim for three pairs of shoes, one of which you'll be wearing, and two packing. That way, you'll have more space and luggage weight to work with.
