"In her 1979 collection of essays, The White Album, Joan Didion shared her essential packing list. It is an exercise in minimalism and restraint (though, not too much restraint as she did include bourbon and cigarettes): two skirts, two jerseys, one pullover jumper, two pairs of shoes, a pair of stockings, one bra, one nightdress, a dressing gown, and slippers, revealing the renowned late author to be a true carry-on-only traveller."
"For a shorter trip, the Monos Expandable Carry-On Pro is the way to go. This carry-on is dent-resistant, durable, and chronic overpacker-approved. The handle is sturdy, the wheels quiet, and it fits easily in any overhead compartment. With a capacity of 46 litres, you can easily fit five days worth of clothing in here. Even better, the Pro features an exterior compartment that keeps a 16" laptop secure."
A minimalist packing list can reduce luggage to essentials: two skirts, two jerseys, a pullover jumper, two pairs of shoes, stockings, one bra, a nightdress, a dressing gown, slippers, plus small indulgences like bourbon and cigarettes and even a typewriter as a sentimental inclusion. Many travelers habitually overpack to prepare for any situation, increasing the risk of overweight baggage fees and physical strain. Choosing a spacious suitcase with an expandable zipper adds a few extra inches of flexibility. Durable polycarbonate shells on wheels provide dent resistance and mobility. A 46-litre expandable carry-on with a laptop compartment suits short trips; a 70-litre checked medium accommodates week-long travel.
