Spring break is right around the corner, and with that comes trips big and small. Whether you will be going on a road trip, staycation, or all the way across the world, it can be difficult to consolidate your items to pack. So if you need tips on packing for any upcoming spring break trip, look no further. 

Let’s begin with our necessities. No matter how long your stay is, toiletries are a must-have, with the exception of shampoo and conditioner depending on the length of your stay. Along with necessities, don’t forget your charger, sunscreen, and perhaps a camera. 

With that out of the way, start thinking about clothes. To begin, consider the weather that you will be enduring. Will it be sunny and warm? Cloudy and cold? Perhaps it will be hot and humid? Determining what the weather will be like while you are away will help kick off the process of packing. For instance, if your trip will be hot and humid, you will obviously want to pack the clothes that make you feel most comfortable, whether that is shorts and a tank top or a dress. 

From there, see how many days and nights you will be at your destination, if it is just for a couple of days, you may be more willing to pack each outfit day-by-day. However, if your stay will last more than a week, consider packing a couple of basics to mix and match with a few pairs of pants. Packing just a couple of pants will help free up room in your luggage for other statement pieces. It is important to pack basics since they are virtually unrecognizable in photos and do not make anyone stand out too much.
