How many outfits should you bring on a 7 day trip?
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. The list should be adjusted to suit your needs.
The Basics
If you can spare the space, pack 11 pairs of underwear and socks. If space is too tight, bring six sets of each and plan to do some laundry on the go. Pack two sets of pajamas and, if you're traveling to a warm locale, two bathing suits.
- 5 shirts.
- 3 shorts or skirts.
- 2 dressy options (mix and match with accessories and outerwear)
- 1 outerwear — sweater or jacket.
- 1 pair sneakers.
- 1 pair dressy shoes.
- 1 pair flip-flops.
- 1 hat.
How Many Outfits Should I Have? You should have at least 7 outfits to sustain you through one week. If you leave your home every day most of those outfits should be outfits for going out, however, make sure you also have one casual outfit for when you spend time at home.
- 8 shirts (4 tanks, 4 tops)
- 1 cardigan.
- 1 hoodie.
- 2 pants.
- 1 pair of shorts or skirt.
- 1 dress (if applicable)
- socks (take the # of days you'll likely wear socks and add +1)
- undies (take the # of days of your trip and add +1)
Bring about 75 percent's worth of clothing that would last you for that time. That means the sweet spot is roughly four to seven shirts, two to three pairs of pants, and two sets of pajamas.
1. 3 pairs of pants. Pants are an essential, and having three good pairs of pants while you're traveling is the perfect amount for a week's vacation. If you're vacationing longer than this, then you may want to pack a few extra pairs or find a place to do your laundry.
- CLOTHING.
- One casual outfit per day of travel (up to 4) per person.
- One dressy outfit.
- One sweater or jacket.
- Underwear, delicates.
- Socks.
- Pajamas.
- Swimwear.
How to Pack a Carry-On Bag (4 to 7 Day Trip) - YouTube
Pack enough clothes to last you the week.
For a 5 day vacation, you will want to bring 2-3 pairs of shorts or pants, 3-4 tops, a light jacket (or a heavy jacket, depending on where you are traveling), and 1 formal outfit if you are planning on attending a nice restaurant or event.
How many pants should I pack for a week?
It is best to have two pairs of bottoms (pants, shorts, or skirts) for each week that you'll be staying. Plan on bringing four shirts per week, and two jackets to layer for warmth (if you're traveling to a cool or cold destination). For a two-week trip, you need four bottoms and eight tops.
Here's an easy equation to remember. For 10 days of travel, 2 bottoms, and 5 tops. That's right. You are going to become the King or Queen of travel with this number one tip.
- 2 shirts/blouses.
- 2 trousers/jeans/skirts/shorts.
- 3 pairs of underwear.
- 1 set of pajamas.
- 3 pairs of socks/pantyhose.

For a one-month trip, pack a one-week supply of undergarments and socks. Choose five or six pairs of shorts and/or pants, depending on the climate of your destination. (Even for hot places, it's wise to pack at least one pair of pants.)
