92: Travel Clothes
Coordinate your clothes around one or two basic colors. This cuts down on the number of shoes and accessories you have to bring.
Take as few clothes as possible and instead plan on laundering. One week’s worth of clothes will most of the time be sufficient.
Washable silk clothing is advisable. It is as warm as and as cool as cotton. It dries overnight and 20 pieces take no more room than two pair jeans. There are some other manmade fabrics that travel as well if not better, but they can be costly.
A plastic rain coat can double as a bathrobe or windbreaker.
Take older clothes that can be discarded along the way. Great for growing children. Many places, the local poorer people are pleased to get these castoffs. Some travelers who take nothing but old clothes so they have that much more room for bringing souvenirs home.
Jeans - I never take them as they take so long to dry. If both the time and money for laundering are concerns, take lighter weight pants.
