Packing lightly is not an art-it's a science. If you're someone, like me, who deeply cares about traveling with the right pieces- clothes you feel comfortable in that also match the destination or activity-the process requires research and precision. This is especially true if you're trying to fit multiple weeks' worth of clothes into a small piece of luggage, like a weekender bag. Every single inch of space matters, and every single item must have a specific purpose (or even multiple purposes).

Even when I'm technically packing lightly (no checked bags here), I still want to be able to bring as much as I can, which is where a quality carry-on can work wonders. I'm a forever fan of the Away Bigger Carry-on, as it's the only carry-on suitcase that continues to impress me with its capacity and durability. It's designed to maximize packing space, so on the trips when I'm just limited to a single suitcase, I can rest assured I can fit everything I need.

Fall is unexpectedly one of the hardest seasons to pack for. Depending on where you're traveling, the weather can vary. It's often warmer than you'd hoped or cooler than expected-or it changes significantly by the hour. The uncertainty and variability are usually the top reasons for overpacking. Plus, because it's probably your first taste of chillier temperatures in several months, you may be inclined to pack all of your favorite bulky, heavy sweaters and other layers.
