Sometimes, packing for a weekend getaway is harder than packing for a long trip. In most cases, you might end up under-packing therefore, leaving behind essential items. For a weekend getaway, you want to pack enough clothes without carrying an entire wardrobe. This can be difficult to decide. However, the trick is to pack smart, not light. For instance, pack sandals that can double up as slippers. Here are some essentials for a weekend getaway.

  1. Perfume/cologne

Just because you’re leaving for a few days doesn’t mean you should forgo your signature scent. If you have a bulky perfume, buy the travel size and keep it in your toiletry bag.  Additionally, if you’re travelling by air, here’s how to carry your perfume.

  1. A Jacket

One jacket is enough for those late nights by the balcony or at an outdoor event. Even if you’re going to a hot area, the weather gets cold during the night and you’ll need a jacket. Depending on where you are you could wear a light jacket or something heavy like a leather jacket.
