1 . Summer holidays are one of the best time for a relaxing and stylish trip. As we prepare for it, packing is often an annoying task.     1    . It’s not about packing light; it’s about packing smart.

    2    . Look for a stylish case with built-in separate space for clothes, shoes, underwear and all the other necessities. And a spacious carry-on with room for a book, chargers, tissue and various bits needed for a smooth journey is vital.

Then, instead of just throwing pieces of clothing into your suitcase (行李箱) and hoping for the best, make a plan of the clothes you’ll want to wear while you’re away.Make a list in the Notes app of your phone to really visualize (可视化) your clothes choices.

When planning your clothes, think what and where.     3    . For example, a day of walking and exploring requires comfortable sportswear. A fancy dinner at a nice restaurant may need a more formal suit. Pick items that match each plan and leave out anything that doesn’t have a specific use.     4    .

Also, try to pack multi-tasking pieces that can be easily used for different scenes. For example wide-legged trousers are perfect for both daytime adventures and evening drinks with a simple change of shoes.

    5    , packing for a stylish holiday simply needs a little organization and some easily interchangeable clothes to make it pain-free.

A．If you choose a well-designed bag

B．Packing smart starts with the right bag

C．Pack items which will work with lots of other items

D．This means you won’t end up carrying loads of things you’ll not wear

E．Whether you’re heading abroad or exploring the shores of nearby cities

F．Consider what you’ll likely be doing each day and evening and pack accordingly

G．But there’s a solution to packing your suitcase efficiently without giving up on style

As you walk around this complex of brightly-colored temple buildings and simple monastic (僧侣的) dwellings, keep a look out for white towers and trees decorated with colorful prayer flags.
