Your capsule
Set the trip details and build the list.
The capsule rules used here
- One top per wearing day; laundry access roughly halves tops and underwear.
- Two bottoms cover most short trips; business trips add a smarter pair.
- Two pairs of shoes, worn alternately — one comfortable, one occasion-appropriate.
- Cold trips add a mid-layer and a warm outer layer instead of more tops.
Frequently Asked Questions
How few items do I really need for 3 days?
For a mild-weather leisure trip: 3 tops, 2 bottoms, 4 underwear sets, 2 pairs of shoes and 1 outer layer cover most people — about 10 pieces total.
Does laundry access really halve the list?
Almost — washing mid-trip lets 2 tops cover 4+ days. Underwear still gets a buffer of one extra set.
Is my checklist saved anywhere?
