I wrote a post called “Six things you never need to pack” back in 2016.  I still stand behind the information, but I’ve changed my tune slightly on a few of them. So, here are six things you might not need to pack.

Obviously, you never need to pack a broomstick or a coffee pot in your carry-on, but I’m not talking about the obvious things that you wouldn’t pack.  I’m talking about the things I see people pack when they really don’t need to.  The things that you think you won’t be able to live without, or won’t be able to find wherever you’re going.  Or the things that you stuff in your bag last minute because “just in case.”  Yes, those things.  Here is a list of things you may be packing, that you actually never need to.

More than one pair of jeans. If you are packing more than one pair of jeans, you are doing something wrong.  All your shirt choices should be able to match the one pair you brought.  You shouldn’t need to bring an additional pair.  The only thing that it would provide is a a different style option, but you should pick one style that matches everything else.  If you can’t, then you need to rethink your shirts as well.
