Woman Traveller does it well...
"I keep 2-3 basic airplane travel outfits that account for various weather conditions, including starting in one weather pattern and ending up in something totally different (50s on the West Coast and 90 degrees and unbearable humidity upon landing on the East). the other important component is a light-weight pashmina (the kind sold in airport shops for $10 in all colors). Rayon or light-weight cashmere pashminas serve as another layer for wrapping up (neck, shoulders or legs), can be folded into a small bag and add some pzazz. The best skirt options I've found -- and keep going back to -- are Chico's Traveler acetate/spandex mix-and-match series and TravelSmith's poly-nylon Ultimate Travel Skirt."
Keeping clothes clean and presentable is a challenge when one travels. In addition, one has to think of the space these clothes would take up in one's luggage.
Some people have travel specific clothes which are made of materials that are lightweight, wrinkle resistant, stain resistant and/or fast drying. It definitely makes travelling easier.
Travel clothes are worth investing in, if you travel a lot.
Wrinkles, wrinkles. If only all clothes were wrinkle-free! Melissa, just a question: Have you ever experimented with rolling your clothes instead of folding them when you pack? I've tried it before with good results - I've never tried rolling up a suit, though. Just pants and shirts.
