I love the packing videos. I’d like to see you collaborate with a plus size traveler and share tips that might help us “Pooh sized” people pack as efficiently like you do! As a plus size person who wants to start traveling more, I find packing to be my challenge.
Me too!
Yes
I write down the total high and low temps for all 4 countries in 5 weeks. Notes on possible rain.
Absolutely agree.
Love all your practical advice ❤
Your packing vids are my favorite! So helpful ♥
I bought a featherweight cashmere scarf from Peili after seeing it recommended in a travel blog. It was a bit expensive ($89) but it's well worth the price! I always take it on the plane with me, as it's very warm and can double as a blanket. You can use it as a wrap or to cover your head in a mosque or temple, or even as a swimsuit cover-up. It's huge (90.5" x 39.4") but folds down to almost nothing. It can be draped around your neck, tied around your waist or tied to the handle of your bag. It comes in over 30 colors. I bought it in the dark teal color and it goes with just about everything.
Loved this style of video, so great!
Great tips and pics! Loved it!!
Love your packing videos, Jen!
Thanks so much!!!!
Super great video, thank you! And 💯 for looking at the camera, yay!
Loved this. Everything coordinated so well together.
Thank you! I usually have at least one miss but I was really happy with all the pieces for this trip!
Thanks for the tip on the Charix shoes. I have also seen them on Instagram. I love the look and all the colors.
Yay I've been waiting for the packing video! Love your capsule wardrobes.
I hope you love it!!
I loved your capsule wardrobe! I have 2 different blue denim jackets plus a white, a brown and black denim jackets. I’ve never even thought to see if any of them have inside pockets! I’m checking that out first thing in the morning. Thanks! 👍🏼🤗
So I hadn’t heard of the Merino wool but you had my attention when you said it keeps you cool. I bought some for my trip this weekend to WDW and I’m excited to try them! They feel amazing for sure.
Also thank you for many videos ago praising packing cubes from Away to go with the luggage! #lifesavers
Thanks! So helpful and the links are very appreciated. I am traveling 2 trips in the next month - one beach 6 nights, one Europe 11 nights - I’ll use all these tips!
This video is soooo cool. And it has so much information. Great information too. I went to Japan in 2008 for my honeymoon and this brought back memories of it. Great job with this video Jenn!
Thank you so much, Friend!
Such a great video and format. Loved seeing the process behind your Japan wardrobe and of course you absolutely looked fabulous 😍
You’re so kind, Marina! Thank you!
I'm glad I found your videos. I am going to the UK for the first time in a few months and need the tips. Yours are great! Thanks so much! ❤😊
Have fun!
Love this video, Jen. You are a packing wizard and have so many great tips. Also, you ROCK stripes, so go for it!
I mean clearly I like them . . bwahahaha. Thanks, Allison!
Enjoyed this- sounds like a great trip. Ive been traveling back and forth to the UK for many years and I always travel with waterproof leather ankle boots. They are cute and comfortable even when it’s not raining. But they are great in rain, too. They come in many styles, to suit anyone.
This was super helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊
I Loved this video…Thank you SO much Jen…I do overpack…but here’s my take alway…check out merino wool…keep my trench coat.(wasn’t using it much and almost gave it away- yikes..) and get a few scarves…I appreciate your down to earth suggestions…thanks again.
You are so classic! I mean that as a compliment! The trench coat is top for me! They look great and you can wear ANYTHING with them and the silk scarf is superb! Thank you for all the suggestions as I am traveling to one of my bucket list locations, Paris, France later in the year! Would love to see Japan! Love your content and your channels! Looking forward to your next Bo’s trip!!!!!!
Thank you so much and YES I will always take classic as a compliment 😍
This is so helpful! Thanks Jen!
My pleasure, Corrie! Glad you enjoyed it!
Jen, I’d love to see you review some of the lug products, specifically:
1. the trolley XL makeup bag
2. the ranger 2 or mini ranger and 3. a wallet.
Thank you for the pictures! It helps visualize the process of mix and match. I agree, a trench coat looks great and more put-together look then say, a hiking jacket. I keep looking, but struggle to fit my XL hourglass shape. Jealous reading all the comments of future trips!
You looked fabulous, woman! That bucket hat, tho!! 🙌🙌🙌 you know I’m on the carry on team. Your wardrobe capsule is chefs kiss.
Awww thank you Friend!
Loved this video. I’m going to try the merino wool under layer/shirt tip on my upcoming Alaska trip. Hoping it does help with odor. I hate when my outerwear ends up smelling because it’s so much harder to wash.
The denim jackets from Liverpool jeans have interior pockets. I have two different style, one in pink and one in a dark wash. I bought the pink before we went to Paris last year and was so grateful I brought it…my friends call it my signature jacket now. 😊
I'm watching this going, "wow! Her style is so similar to mine - down to the striped light sweater, even"! Lol! I don't own a denim jacket, but I've been considering getting one. I'm a cardigan girl. Still considering the Cariumas. I have Taos sneakers that are almost identical, but I need a new pair - mine have been well travelled. 😉 Great video. Thank you!!
Enjoyed this video, but I enjoy all your videos. I have been wear meniro wool for awhile now. I never heard about not wearing deodorant with aluminum in before, so thanks. I order and use a detergent made especially for merino wool which has made a difference in the peeling that occurs. I have started adding garments made from alpaca fibers. I love them, no stink, much softer and the sweaters and hoodies are signed by the weavers. I plan on taking both merino wool and alpaca with me when I go to Scotland in August.
So many great point in this, I don’t even know where to begin! 😂 Packing light, but still functional is huge. We have gotten to the point where we have started buying quality over quantity just because we were getting tired of clothes wearing out. For rain shoes, we swear by our Chaco and Teva sandals!
Thank you Jen! You are awesome ❤
Well thanks, Nancy!
Thank you for such a great video with such good tips!
Glad it was helpful!
A very helpful video. Thank you. At the moment I am packing for a seven week trip which will include hot weather, very cold weather (Iceland and Norway), and formal wear for on a 23 day cruise. I’m finding it tough to keep my luggage light. Wish me luck!
Love your ideas
Great video. My denim jacket, too, has lg inside pocket. I sewed a little Velcro at the top to help keep stuff inside, in case I absentmindedly toss it somewhere.
That's brilliant!
What a great video!
Loved the intro comments about carry on/checked luggage. I am short, and I do a lot of traveling without my husband. I usually check a carry on size bag or a 24” bag so that I can manage my own luggage.
My viewers have really been the ones to help shape my changed attitude on that - there are a variety of reasons why carry on doesn’t work but checked bag or no we all benefit from not over packing! Thanks for your kind comment!
Such a good video! Yes, on trips you want to look cute for photo, but be comfortable for your activities. It can be a challenge.
It takes a lot of thought for sure!
Love your videos
Thank you for this one! We are going to Scotland this summer as a family and I’m trying to help my husband and kids figure out what to bring. My husband watched this one with me, and now we’re ready!!
It's very cold inside houses in Scotland even in the summer was what I found. Take your woolies eg. socks for beds!
Very helpful, fun video. I keep hearing you should not carry a backpack when traveling but am glad to see you did, what else would you use for layers when it gets hot in the afternoon? Thanks
Excellent video! Thank you.
You are welcome!
Ice breaker is a fabulous brand - Great quality and extensive range
Capsule wardrobes are so intriguing. I'm slowly working towards adult Garanimals goals, but it's going to take a while.
It makes shopping so much easier for me, too, because I instantly what will and what will NOT play well together with the other clothes
You always look great!
We spent 3 weeks in Europe and I followed your videos and did just great with carry on only. Thanks! Have you tried Rothy's shoes? That is all I took and they were so comfortable and stylish. Now getting ready to take our 2 teenage Granddaughters to London...trying to convince them they don't need everything!
Must pack light as most foreign airlines especially flying to Asia weight is limited to 7kg or 15 lbs for carry-on. If you pack everything you can get in you will be overweight bag. I travel solo and carry-on and large male,182cm tall and 98kg. I dress casually.
Oh you will have those merino wool for decades! I’m still wearing my Italian merino wool mock turtle necks I bought at Saks Fifth Ave in 1993!!! Great investment..
Love to hear this!
I found Skeechers makes a vegan line that is washable. So you don't mind getting them wet. There also so comfy.
Yes! Bought a pair last week with ArchFit!
Vegan footwear is plastic isn't it.
Do you have the ordering information? Thanks!
Jenn you always look sooooo well put together. Casual yet very elegant! Would love to have you next to me when I’m shopping lol
This is such a sweet comment, THANK YOU
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. I am a big proponent of packing light and you had much of the same message that I give out. I don't have Marino wool yet but I will have to get some. A rule of thumb I give is packed for one week and then you can travel for a year. Just keep rewearing. And most places have laundry facilities if you can't wash them in the sink. Well done!
Agreed. Now there are laundry soap slips that you can use for sink washing.
I love the outfits you've packed. I love blue and white also. The pieces you chose are timeless and elegant! I pack light all the time because id rather wash clothes than have to bring back a tonne. :) Once our son is a bit older we will travel overseas again . Japan is now just below Disneyland Paris :)
Go to Disneyland Tokyo! We loved it and it was so clean you could have eaten in the toilets!
I just did 3 weeks in Europe with a carryon. Pack very light clothing and bring soap packets.
I have watched several videos on packing. Most recommend merino wool as a great fabric when traveling for many reasons. Problem is that for those of us highly allergic to wool in any form are basically screwed.
Love the video. I usually get a 5 night trip into my carry-on (could be 7 if it is a summer/beach trip). I once did a comparison with my mom to see how much clothes into a carry-on. I am plus-size and my mom is petite we always used to “argue” about overpacking and I told her it wasn’t overpacking, it’s just that my clothes took up more room. So we did the experiment. We actually have a lot of the same basic items, just in different colors and sizes (she likes color, bright color and floral while I stick to navy, black and browns and stripes). So we each decided to pick 3 pants, 3 tops, 2 shirts, 2 light weight sweaters and 2 jackets plus 2 pairs of shoes and obviously undergarments for each day and 1 set pijamas. We choose items to mix and match and things that could be dressed up if needed. No accessories as we both hate belts or scarves. We selected the same items to take out and wear on our travel day. Again, everything we choose were from the same brand and style, just different sizes and colors. We even did our best to fold exactly the same way (although I am a bit more OCD about the way I perfectly fold my socks and underwear and mom just folds them kind of sloppy…well, my mom fit everything into the carry-on roller bag and i did not. My mom is 5ft 1in and I am 5ft 6in, she is a size 6 shoe and I am a 10.5 or 11 shoe, she is a size 4-6 pants and small shirt. I won’t say my size but let’s just say I am significantly bigger. I had to leave out my back-up jacket and pijamas and really struggled with the shoes.
That's a perfect example of when a checked bag makes sense! But still keeping to the rule of only two pieces and being able to manage it on your own is important if you're traveling overseas for sure! Great comment!
For a three week trip, you don't need more than two pair of pants, or two bottoms of any kind, whatever you prefer. It's useful to have a variety of tops you can layer, for slightly different weather, but no more than a total of 5 tops. I wash my socks and underwear in the sink and schedule laundry if necessary though. I can pack way less clothes that way. I only wear one pair of shoes, hiking boots, and sometimes bring shower shoes if that's necessary, so I really never pack shoes. Only wear one jacket, choose a winter one or a rain jacket, don't choose anything "cute" like a denim jacket. Lots of people want to fit it and wear fashionable clothes, but I have to say, practical matters more. Like, she recommends having a trench coat or a denim jacket, which is great if you're touring cities, but I rarely do, so my rain jacket I can get muddy works so much better. I never carry a purse when I travel, only a day pack 🤷♀️. She makes a good point when she suggests lighter weight clothes, like merino wool, silk, and linen, because it packs smaller and weighs so much less. She always has SO many clothes in her suitcase 🤣.
*oh and SOMETIMES I bring a swimsuit, if I KNOW I'm going swimming. Mostly I don't plan vacations that involve swimming, but I've certainly bought a swim suit overseas because I realized I needed one 🤷♀️.
@@erinlikesacornishpasty4703 , to each her own. I almost always do a 19 inch carryons and I always pack a dress or two or three and I bring another pair of shoes. I enjoy museums, theatre, concerts, walks in gardens or parks so my parking reflects my interests...as does yours.
Always helpful Jen! My husband and I are entering a season of loads of travel, including some international. I'll be looking into wool for sure! Do you feel like the Charix and the water shoes have good support? All of us aging runners with PF need to know :)
The Charix have decent support but they also sell insoles if you need more. And the water shoes I would say the sam?
Thank you, first time here!
Welcome!! So glad you’re here!
Great ideas in your video. I do wonder about all the other things like underwear, pjs, bras, etc. I also take a few items for hygiene (wipes etc). Did you pack all of these types of items in with your carryon? or did you have a personal item, like your backpack with the items listed? My trip to Japan coming up I am packing a medium check in, carryon and personal bag. I am plus size and definitely can't get it all in the carry on, but I will still use your suggestions to slimming down what I pack and try capsule clothing. Love your videos!
Loved this! I’m still struggling to wrap my brain around the merino wool and shirt rewearing. What I usually do is pack really thin base layers from Uniqlo so those stink and I can rewear my top layer. I’ve gotten much better at minimal packing for international trips but really struggle for Disney trips, particularly cruises. We’re doing the 7 night norwegian cruise on dcl next august and planing on doing Disneyland Paris. My girls will be 11 and 9 (almost 10) on that trip and I vacillate between carry on for everyone or 2 carry ons a checked bag. I am unsure the girls will be able to handle their own carry on.
I have a trench coat that I had before I got married I bought at Nordstrom’s (I’ve been married 35 years in a week). It hardly gets use because I now live in Nevada (moved here from rainy Oregon). It still looks great!
Great video!
thanks so much, Lisa!
Ha, I just had to check my denim jacket, 🤯🤯, yep, I found two fabulous interior pockets, 😂😂. Mine is Calvin Klein from about 10-12 years ago. It's so perfect, the style never goes out. I would have never noticed the pockets, thanks for pointing that out 😀
I’m just over here changing the world one interior pocket discovery at a time….😂🤣❤️
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it, lol
1:16 good point. If you can't do Carry On Only, (which I can't due to medications etc...) using these tips can help you pack ONE checked bag really well :)
Yeah it sounds silly but for awhile now I’ve been wanting to communicate that it’s not about actually physically doing carry on! Glad I finally said it! Lol
Good one
I’ve been searching for natural fabrics for my trip to Japan because we are going in July and it will be so so hot. I need to start thinking about a capsule wardrobe and I’m choosing mostly light colours because of the intense heat.
I LOVE the Longchamp bag. Thank you for the recommendation. This was more $ than I have ever spent on a bag but the pleasure I receive from it makes it an investment piece. Plus if I use it daily since it is flexible, the cost per use reduces. Thank you!
LOVE TO HEAR THIS! And YES that's the key to the larger dollar purchases for me - the VALUE has to be there. That cost per wear is a great way to view it!
Thank you for this! I'm headed to London and Scotland in 3 weeks for 15 days and am doing carry on only also. I've traveled this way for years and, for me, it works. I love your capsule wardrobe and it's given me some great ideas. Btw: I'm a blue and white stripe girl too!
LOVE TO HEAR IT! Honestly, I think once you unlock the secret to packing light you. never go back to over-packing. It's the best! Happy packing and I hope you have a fantastic trip - Scotland is on our bucket list!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I remember watching a Rich Steves video where he something along the lines of “Almost never do you hear : ‘“Wow, I wished I packed more stuff!’” That gave me perspective!
@@nurseloco2003 It's so true! And if you REALLY need something buy it there - I think we watched the same video. Love him.
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge yes. I used to think he was kind of stiff, so I love seeing the outtakes at the end of his videos where you can see his personality a bit, unscripted.
We have learned a lot from his videos.
And yes to buying stuff there- it’s all part of the experience!
Scotland is amazing! Make sure you take an umbrella, you'll need it. Solid walking shoes are a must, too: there are a lot of cobblestones. Have a wonderful time.
I wish you would have shown how everything was packed in the carry on. Other than that I loved this video and found it extremely helpful. Safe travels!
I love my denim jackets and wear them regularly. However, I rarely take when I travel since a denim jacket takes up valuable real estate in a suitcase and generally isn’t comfortable to wear on the plane. Packable jackets and “athleisure” type jackets work better for me when traveling. Living in Colorado, I’m used to layering…it’s practically a lifestyle here! 😜
I get the stripes. I have 7 stripe-style shirts in my closet!❤️
Wore my denim jacket today (which I’ve had for 10 years) I didn’t even realize I had winterior pockets! I thought they were just part of the fabric! 💡 Thanks!
I am loving that I am teaching people about their own clothes - you're the second person who commented that and it's making me crazy happy! Hurray!

I have yet to find a trench coat that doesn't overwhelm me.
Great tips. We're going to Boyne Falls Michigan next week for a week and I'm staring at my clothing selections now. Temps from 42 to 72.
42 is freezing to me. And we want to sit in a dark sky park to watch for Aurora Borealis and visit The Grand Hotel with their resort wear stipulations. And I don't want dark clothing since it's almost summer. 😂😅😂 It'll be fine. I'm taking the hubs, the 20 yr old son, the 37 yr old nephew, and the 84 yr old mother. Send me good travel vibes!
I hope you have a fabulous trip!
I have a pair of Keen hiking shoes that are waterproof. They would replace the rain shoes and the tennis shoes. They come in multiple colors. I chose the dark tan ones. They go with everything and don't show dirt. I also have a pair black flats for dressier occasions that are made of an open weave fabric and double as sandals in warm weather. Both accept the custom orthotics I have to wear to walk comfortably. I would go with a lined trenchcoat instead of taking 2 larger coats. It would cover rain and 3 season wear. I got mine at land's end.
My trenchcoat has a zip-out lining so it can go anywhere and goes with anything. I try to pack mostly neutrals with one 'pop' color. I'm a plus size woman and can easily pack for 2 weeks in a carry-on wheeled backpack and a messenger bag the slides over the handle. My small phone wallet bag goes inside the messenger bag but comes out during day trips along with a lightweight packable backpack.
LOL you brought more jackets than you brought shirts! I definitely need to bring more clothes with me. I don't like looking back at the photos afterwards and seeing myself in the same clothes the entire trip. I feel that same way about wearing the same clothes over and over on cruises or to WDW. I need different outfits so I can remember later it was a different trip!
Thanks for watching!
Have you heard of Wool&? I've done both their 100 day and 30 day dress challenges and love them. Wool is a great travel piece. I've got a great nautical-ish feel wool dress for our Disney cruise coming up. While I'm excited to dress up and disney bound for dinner every night, I think my daytime clothes will be quite minimal thanks to that dress!
I think I've seen them on instagram! I will check it out I would love to get a dress.
I took a boat neck long sleeve Wool& dress on a Viking cruise last December. It looks nice for a little dressy and casual with pants or tights. Change the look with a scarf or necklace. The first time I used merino wool. Loved it. I’m going to look into your t-shirts for my trip to Ireland next spring.
So helpful! XO
I love that you watched live streams to research how people dress in a destination 😊
Seriously much more accurate than a travel blogger telling me what people wear!😂❤️
Always!
That was great. What bag did you use as a personal item during the flight for your phone, book, snacks, wipes, etc?
It was the Everywhere Backpack from Away Travel but the old version they don’t make any more.
Thanks. I love a good travel capsule wardrobe video. Definitely helps me decide what to pack for a carry-only trip. The shoes are the toughest…
Yes and shoes are what has taken the most amount of trial and error for me! I get this!
I needed this video so much! Thanks Jen. Also what is the mic you are using in your video?
The last several videos I’ve used the Hollyland wireless mic for iPhone
I have a couple of overseas trips planned for this year, and I have been scouring for UA-cam videos for packing tips.
This is the most useful and achievable advice I have run across. Thank you so much. It's brilliant.
I strive to be able to help people with this, so thank you!
Was hoping you would show us how you packed all of this in a carry-on bag. Perhaps you could do another video showing that? Also, seeing all the pieces laid out on a bed (not piled) would have been helpful for those of us who need the visual reinforcement. Thank you for doing this video. It was very informative.
If you go to my packing playlist you’ll find loads of videos showing all kinds of packing! I hope you find something that helps!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge thank you
We went to Rome last summer and the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican were not bad for pickpockets but at Trevi fountain a girl in our group had a ring taken right off her finger. I purchased a cheap silver band from Amazon to wear while there.
We’re headed to Rome next summer and plan to visit all the regular attractions. Thank you for sharing your experience, as I always have concerns about pickpockets while traveling.
Thank you for the information. It's been 14 years since we've been in Rome. We didn't have any issues then including a very packed Trevi Fountain., but I'm going backin a few months, so this information is very useful. Forthe men, my father was born and raised in Spain. He always carried his wallet in his front. He would say, no one is putting their hand in my front pocket without me noticing. First time in Madrid my husband noticed business men putting their wallets in their front pockets before getting on the metro.😊
I too have an obsession with pockets.
I am going to get a pair of the Charix shoes! Actually, I wish I could afford several pairs but my husband would have a stroke if I bought all the colors I wanted! 😂. Thank you for your suggestions.
I love the idea of just a carry on. I am a larger than you so my clothes would take up more room 😊 I would like to know what kind of toiletries you bought and where did you pack them?
I've done a lot of packing videos so check the playlist here on my channel - one in particular is just about toiletries (I'm very minimal with my toiletries and they go in my personal item). Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks. What time of year did you go to Japan?
We were there in late April.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Lynne thank you so much!!!
Hi is there a video of how to put all these items in a small carryon (international size)?
Good morning Jen, I am going to order an AWAY bag… if you have a link to get credit for it I would like to use it. My hubs flies 787s for American. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Fabulous! Here you go! bit.ly/3AvQJrC
thanks the link to the exact bag I own but if you navigate to whatever you need from there you'll be good to go! Thanks so much for asking!
Oh my goodness. Your description of managing luggage was us on our first trip abroad. Never again!
Oh no!
I would love sources for your striped tops and silk blouse. Thank you.
Everything that's available is linked in the description box. If it's not linked it's because the item is no longer available. Have a great day!
1:50 Exactly!!! 👏
I love stripe shirts. Also, can you tell me where you got yours? They're hard to find right now.
You can find all of my latest outfit favorites here jenlefforge.com/all-of-the-clothes-ever-worn-in-my-latest-videos/
I like the Charity shoes, but I afraid they’d be very wide. Do you mind telling me how wide/narrow they run? I wear a 9 SS/AAAA.
For those of us allergic to wool, what would you suggest?
I’m not opposed to the you can buy it there for a lot of things but disclaimer for anyone who isn’t thin-for international travel especially clothes can be the hardest thing to replace or buy in a country like Italy or Japan where sizing skews much smaller (especially if you’re not shopping at a brand available in the US) so always have back ups in a carry on that you keep with you if your checked bag is lost.
That is so true! We went to Northern Spain in August and it was cold, not normal weather. My son 6'2" 200lbs didn't pack anything warm, he was freezing. We couldn't find anything to fit him.
Have you tried using anti-theft backpacks or bags like pacsafe?
It's funny you asked I have two anti-theft bags I'll bee bringing with me for my upcoming Greek cruise. I'll be talking about those in a video VERY SOON! I don't think they're always necessary but destinations with a high rate of pick pockets (like Rome) they can give a lot of piece of mind!
