You've probably heard about rolling your clothes when you pack. It's good advice: I have found that rolling not only saves some space but also helps prevent wrinkling. When packing my suitcase for a Caribbean trip, I always start with the biggest items first. For me, that usually means a pair or two of long, khaki or black pants, the kind that can be worn more than once, are appropriate for a casual night out, but also look good with a suit jacket and button-down shirt (no tie needed in the Caribbean!).
