💡 Pro Packing Tips

1. Build a capsule wardrobe — stick to 10–12 versatile pieces.
2. Choose fabrics wisely — linen/cotton for heat, wool for cold, synthetics for rain.
3. Shoes matter most — always pack one stylish walking pair + one versatile pair.
4. Accessorize instead of overpacking — scarves, jewelry, hats transform looks.
5. Roll, don’t fold — saves space and reduces wrinkles.
