Shirts, Bathing Suits, and Sleepwear

Rolling saves space!

Next in goes my shirts: For a week-long trip, I usually bring two dressier button-down shirts, perhaps three collared polo shirts, and four or five t-shirts. For women, this is when you should pack any dresses you plan to bring. Roll them and pack into the main body of the suitcase. Likewise, bathing suits: two is plenty for me, and it's good to pack a plastic bag for soggy suits on the way home. Finally, something to wear to bed is nice, such as comfortable lounge pants.
