Center your packing list around staple pieces of clothing that you can pair together in different ways for your kid — depending on things like the weather, location, activities, etc.
“Avoid overpacking by taking kids’ clothes that you can mix and match and can transition from day to night. Children only need 1 or 2 ‘nice’ pieces — like a fun dress or skirt, or a nice pair of shorts or lightweight pants,” says Serena Minott.
“If you do need to purchase any new clothes, do so two-three weeks before your trip to allow sufficient time for delivery and breaking-in time,” she added.
