Find luggage that best suits you in “3 Best Suitcases for the Business Traveler.”
Now it is time to fill it with work trip necessities. But, before selecting your wardrobe for your next business trip, you need to consider several things. First off how many days will you be away? Next, you want to consider the climate of the city you are visiting (be sure to check the weather forecast). You will also need to keep in mind what types of meetings and events you’ll be attending. Do you plan on utilizing the hotel gym? Will you be going straight to a meeting once you exit the plane (this will determine if you need or want extra comfy travel clothes)?

With whatever items you end up packing and whatever suitcase you end up picking, folding your clothes using the KonMari method is, in our opinion, one of the best and most efficient use of space when packing your clothes and it also helps prevent wrinkles that can occur during travel.
