The Five Best Pieces Of Clothing For Traveling Light

We at Digg like to preach the PACK LIGHT U IDIOT gospel. Which suggests that when traveling, you should pack as lightly as possible, you idiot. 

The things that do make the carry-on cut should be multi-functional, easily compressed, and fly as hell. Here are the five pieces of clothing you should never travel without.​

A Simple Raincoat

Whether it's October in Chicago or May in Madrid, pack a raincoat. They're easy to fit into a suitcase and can double as a layering coat.

The Right Pair Of Pants

You should ask three things of your travel pants: 

1. They're comfortable. 

2. They won't wrinkle. 

3. They check off 1 and 2 without making you look like a schlub.

Slip On Shoes

Please don't be the asshole that holds up the security line.

The Shirt That Won't Wrinkle

For anyone who's attempted to iron their button up shirt on the hotel room floor before the next day's Big Important Meeting, you know wrinkle-free shirts are mandatory.

A Good Pair Of Socks

Never, ever underestimate the power of a good pair of socks. They keep your feet dry, your arches supported, and your would-be blisters at bay. When your feet are feeling good, you're feeling good.
