This past week I travelled for business to Las Vegas. Yes really, I was working! I was a guest speaker at a conference. I travelled with business suit attire so I could dress the part. You know I absolutely adore the packing cubes for keeping my suitcase organized. However a business suit does not lend itself to arriving wrinkle free when you utilize a packing cube. This requires a different strategy. Are you ready?
Place your business clothes or dress on plastic hangers. Then recycle that plastic garment bag from the dry cleaners by placing the bag over your clothes. I use an inexpensive garment bag that I bought years ago from Ikea. You may have something similar at home; perhaps the garment bag you received from a shop when you purchased a suit. Here is another option for that you could purchase from ebags.com.
Now I wait until the very last moment to put the business clothes into the suitcase before heading to the airport. It depends on the size of the garments; however I typically fold the garment bag gently into a trifold and place in the suitcase on top before closing. Immediately upon arrival at the hotel I open the suitcase and hang the business clothes!
One alternative here would be to wear the clothes on the flight however given all the accidentally spills I have witnessed on flights I avoid that option.
In the event your clothes arrived with a few wrinkles I will disclose my secret to easily removing wrinkles without an iron in next weeks post.
Seek your adventure!
