The Best Packing for a Long Weekend

Leave the trunk in the attic1).It is possible to pack everything you need for a weekend getaway in one carry-on bag.Here's how:

Bring two pairs of shoes:one for sight-seeing and a dressier2) pair for evenings out.

Use the shoes to coordinate your clothing color scheme.Black clothes are best.Gray,navy3) and beige4) are also good.Choose fabrics5) that don't wrinkle,such as raw silk and knit jersey.

Make the most of what little space you have by shoving anything you don' t mind wrinkling ――socks,underwear――into your shoes.Fold other clothes as flat as possible.

All you need for a city weekend:Chinos or a comfort-able skirt for the day;a nice skirt or pants for evening;a thin sweater or microfleece cardigan6) in a bright color and three shirts ――one a black silky T-shirt for dressy events.

For a country or beach escape,fine-tune your city duds as follows:Add a pair of jeans or shorts,a sun hat,a bathing suit and cover-up.An oversize man's button-down shirt can be worn as both a cover up and a bathrobe.

Accessorize.Scarves or jewelry can change your entire look without taking up too much space.Handbags with detachable straps can double as clutches for the evening.

Leave behind:a bathrobe,blow-dryer7) and umbrella ――you can always borrow these things from your hotel or your hostess

打点周末出行行装的最佳方法

把你的大皮箱放到壁橱里,一个简易的背包就可以装下外出度周末所需的一切用品。下面教你一些方法:

备两双鞋:一双观光游玩时穿,一双要时髦、考究一些的晚间聚会时穿。

鞋应与衣服的颜色相配。黑颜色的衣服最佳。灰色、海兰色和灰棕色也不错。选不易出皱的衣料,如生丝和紧身牛仔。

充分利用背包的空间,把不怕皱的物品如袜子、内衣塞进鞋里。尽可能把其他衣物叠得平整些。

市内过周末所需的物品:白天穿的棉制或其他较舒服的裙子。为晚间的活动准备一件质量很好的裙子或一条裤子。一件薄毛衣或开衫,颜色要亮丽,另加三件衬衣,其中一件是黑色的丝制T恤以备晚间聚会时穿。

乡村或海边周末:把你在城市中常穿的衣服适当地调整一下,加一条牛仔裤或短裤、一顶太阳帽、泳衣和浴巾。一件大号的男式系扣衬衣既可用来覆盖身体又可当做浴袍。

零碎物品:围巾或首饰会为你打造一个全新的形象,而带上它们又不会占太多地方。提带可拆卸的手包也能为你的晚间活动添彩。

"留守"物品:浴衣、吹风机和雨伞。你总能从下榻的旅馆或主人那儿借到这些东西。
