For Paris, or any other urban destination, a combination of black, white, and navy is a good choice. Khaki, off-white, or white, and bright colors like orange and yellow work well for a beach vacation, or outdoor excursion. White linen is a favorite of Ms. Young because it can be worn in the heat, cools in warm weather, and is great for evenings out. Ms. Young suggested that you take a couple of jeans, nice pants, a striped button-down, a jacket, and a T-shirt. She stated that you should wear each piece at least twice on trips with kids. “Anything less than that is a waste.”

Take Common Color Shoe

Ms. Young recommends that women bring no more than three pairs on any given trip. You can use them as exercise sneakers, or as a daytime shoes for walking around (e.g., loafers), and then for the evening, you can bring heeled sandals.

For men, you can usually get by with just one pair of shoes: loafers or sneakers. These can be worn during the day as well as at night. A tip for all: There are many sportswear brands that make lightweight sneakers that can be folded, so they take up less space in your bag.

There’s no need to choose shoes based on gender. Instead of trying to pack a pair for every occasion, or every night, keep your shoe light and select a few pairs that can serve multiple purposes.

Take Along Exercise Wear

They’re becoming more fashionable for exercise clothes, which are also great for long-haul flights. They can be folded neatly and stuffed into almost any bag.

Ms. Young suggests that women look into compression leggings along with a long-sleeved top and coat made of cotton. Men can try track pants and track jackets or half- or full-zip sweatshirts.

Accessorize in the Right Way

Ms. Young stated that a few accessories can transform an outfit. She always brings everyday wear jewellery with her on vacation, such as a bold cocktail ring or a pair of large earrings. Her makeup is also stored in a compact pouch that doubles up as an evening bag. You might also consider adding a few bright socks to your coordinating outfits for men, or those who don’t like jewelry.

Take One Flexible Outfit

Don’t wear bulky, heavy jackets and full suits if you don’t have any formal events or evenings planned.

Ms. Young recommended that women choose a slip dress with high-heeled sandals, bold earrings, and a pair of slip dresses for men. Men should opt for slacks, a versatile blazer, a crisp white shirt, loafers, and a versatile blazer. These items can be used again for an evening or a different outfit.
