1 skirt
1 pair of slacks
1 tank top or Camisole type of top
1 blazer type of jacket
1 pair of slacks that look like jeans or other comfortable pants to wear on the plane...light weight so they can be washed and dried quickly

other items:
2 pairs of shoes one to wear and one to pack in suitcase
1 pair of flip flops for shower, hotel room or pool
1 scarf or shawl
1 long sleep t shirt, for sleep, casual wear or beach cover up...tunic tops are very versitle
1 jacket light weight wrinkle resist and rainproof
7 Underwear
2 Nylons...may need for business but don't bother with these in hot climates when on vacation
2 Trouser sock
2 swimsuits..depending on destination and type of trip
for men see below
Men: use a lot of the same tips as I gave to the women.
3 bottoms for every 7 to 10 tops and 2 extra tops and one extra bottom per extra week.
Men's travel clothing:
Tops will consist of long sleeve, short sleeve, polo and t shirts
A pair of Pajama bottoms can be sleepwear or lounge-wear
Make sure that your blazer has lots of pockets
Make sure that you have a long pair of dress pants and a pair of dress shoes no matter what your destination.
