You might be so good at packing a suitcase that you could list it on your CV. Or, faced with a cabin bag, you could describe your skill level as distinctly average, whether it's your time management (no clean pants + an early-morning flight) or inclination to pack the kitchen sink (I might need five pairs of shoes for a long weekend, right?!).
Everyone has their own system, even if that system involves sitting on your suitcase to make it close. But what if this summer holiday season, you approach packing with a modicum of preparation, taking advice from the experts—ahem, frequent travellers with fashion credentials—whether you're planning a city break or a spa retreat with girlfriends?
