You can pack more in a single suitcase especially when it comes to T-shirts, casual clothes and swimwear.

Use soft and thin fabrics that use up lesser space and are wrinkle-free! Pack synthetics and polyester clothing as they dry up easily and use lesser space than cotton clothes.

Buy some clingwrap to prevent any leakages from soiling your nicest clothes.
