Brendan O'Connor · How to Pack the Perfect Holiday Suitcase · 5 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, and it can be incredibly frustrating because not only do you have the stress of how much weight do I have in my suitcase and am I going to get stopped and the irritation of being charged extra...

But then when you get there, you've got a load of stuff that you're not actually wearing.

So I think it's really good to break down your holiday.

If you've got seven days, six nights, what am I going to be doing and packing for things for that?

I'm a huge fan of the slow pack.

Do not be tempted at the very last minute to imagine that you know where that summer top is or your goggles or whatever it is.

I think it's really good to give yourself a bit of time, slowly start to gather things, lay them out on the bed.

And then what you are doing is you are creating outfits.

You are not packing clothes.

You are creating outfits every step of the way.

Exactly.

And Brendan, I think one of the easiest ways to do that is to choose a colour palette.

So choose a colour palette of two colours and then you can add in print or a pattern of any sort.

But before you pack anything, you have to ask yourself, when am I going to wear it and what am I going to wear it with?

And so you cannot be, I'll take this just in case I get invited on safari.

It's not going to happen, lads.

It didn't happen last time.

You didn't get invited to the ball.

So it's really good to think through why it is that you're packing things.

And if you choose a colour palette, it means that everything is going to mix and match with what you have in your suitcase.
