Packing list
Weekend trip packing list
A weekend trip packing list that fits in one small bag: two days of clothes, one smart outfit, toiletries, chargers and rain cover for a city getaway.
A weekend away is the easiest trip to over-pack. Two days needs a couple of outfits that share pieces, comfortable shoes and the basics, all in one small bag.
This list is for a two-night city break close to home, in mild and possibly rainy weather, with one nice dinner.

How to use this list
Start a day or two before you leave and pack one category at a time, ticking items off as they go in the bag — your ticks are saved in this browser. Quantities follow the trip above: clothes scale with the number of days, with a little extra for spares. Travelling longer, in different weather or with more people? Open the list in Wayfold and it recalculates for your dates, the forecast and everyone travelling.
Packing tips
- 1
Travel in your bulkiest shoes and jacket and pack only one other pair of shoes.
- 2
Choose one smart top that works for dinner and the next day.
- 3
Decant toiletries into small containers or use the ones at your hotel.
- 4
Check the forecast the night before; it decides whether you need the umbrella or the sunglasses.
