One of the most challenging aspects of packing for me is dealing with tailored clothing – it takes up a lot of space, doesn’t respond that well to folding, and, as much as I love wearing it, can be a hassle during a trip. For that reason, I’m trying something new for this trip and only bringing a navy blazer. I will be attending events with a variety of formality – dinner with my girlfriend’s family, drinks with friends in NYC, an outdoor wedding – so I’m hoping that I can rely on this one piece to carry me through all of them. We’ll see if I can practice what I preach.
