Packing way too much for your holiday? You’re not the only one.

According to research by Booking.com, 65% of travellers experience decision stress while packing. Women between 35 and 45 struggle the most with the classic questions: what should I bring, what’s actually useful, and what might I possibly need… just in case?

Let’s be honest — how often do you really wear that fourth dress?

Stylish travel isn’t about quantity. It’s about smart choices. The right bag. Pieces that work — and that feel good to wear.

And it all starts with these 4 simple packing rules:

Stick to one colour scheme.

Make sure everything mixes and matches. Think neutral tones like sand, black, and white. Less stress, fewer kilos.

Pick smart bottoms.

Choose a pair of trousers, shorts or a skirt that goes with at least three tops. Fewer items, more outfits.

Limit yourself to 3 pairs of shoes (yes, really).

Beach, casual, chic. Two in the suitcase, one on your feet. Done.

Go for a bag that goes with everything.

Not to name names (okay, maybe just a little): our Viva is the ultimate travel buddy. Spacious enough for your passport, phone and snacks on the go, elegant enough to double as an evening clutch, and perfect for beach essentials like cash, lip balm and sunnies. Small, light, and everything you actually need — right where you need it.

Holidays are about freedom, not hauling stuff.

With these rules, you’ll pack smarter, travel lighter, and stay stylish. The trick isn’t taking more. It’s choosing better. And that’s exactly what Trashious is all about.

Enjoy your holiday!
