Smart Packing Tips For Your Autumn Adventures

As you prepare for your autumn travels, packing smart is key to enjoying a stress-free trip. So here are our top tips to ensure you are ready for anything the season throws your way:

  • Layer Up: Autumn weather can be unpredictable, so packing layers is essential. Bring lightweight jumpers, long-sleeved tops, and a versatile jacket that can be easily added or removed as temperatures change.
  • Choose Versatile Footwear: Opt for comfortable shoes that are suitable for both walking and dining out. Ankle boots or stylish trainers are great choices, offering both comfort and style for day-to-night wear.
  • Keep Essentials Handy: Pack a small, easily accessible bag for your travel essentials - like your passport, tickets, and snacks - so you can grab them quickly when needed. A flight bag or compact crossbody bag.
  • Stay Dry: Autumn often brings a mix of sun and showers, so be prepared with a compact, foldable umbrella or a lightweight rain jacket that can be easily packed away.
  • Don’t Forget The Extras: With the cooler weather, it’s a good idea to bring along some travel-sized hand cream and lip balm to keep your skin hydrated. A cosy scarf can also double as a blanket on chilly flights or train rides.
  • Optimise Your Luggage: To make the most of your packing space, roll your clothes instead of folding them. This not only saves space but also reduces wrinkles. Utilise packing cubes to keep your items organised and easy to find.
  • Choose The Right Suitcase: Cabin or medium cases are perfect for short trips, whilst more spacious large cases are ideal for a longer adventure. Choosing from the same collection allows for nesting, saving you space when storing your new luggage.
