20 Expert Packing Tips for Stress-Free Travel


The fabrics you choose can make a big difference in your comfort and the efficiency of your packing. When selecting clothes for travel, look for lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant fabrics.
Synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex blends are excellent choices. They’re lightweight, quick-drying, and often wrinkle-resistant. Plus, they tend to be more durable and stain-resistant than natural fibers.
But if you really want to up your travel fabric game, I highly recommend investing in merino wool clothing. Trust me on this one. Merino wool is the ultimate travel fabric, and here’s why:
It’s comfortable in both cool and warm weather, and it wicks moisture away and dries quickly. It’s also naturally odor-resistant, meaning you can wear it multiple times between washes.
I’ve worn merino wool t-shirts for a week straight while traveling (don’t judge!), and they still smelled relatively fresh. This means you can pack fewer clothes and do laundry less often—a win-win for efficient packing.
Other good fabric choices include:
- Bamboo Rayon: Soft, breathable, and naturally antimicrobial
- Modal: Soft, resistant to shrinking and fading
- Tencel: Lightweight, breathable, wrinkle resistant, and eco-friendly
By choosing the right fabrics, you can pack less, stay comfortable, and spend less time worrying about laundry and wrinkles during your trip.
