Once
a standard travel accessory, the garment bag has been replaced by the more
efficient carry-on. Making the most of limited packing space is a skill that
saves you time and keeps your suit fresh and pressed. Bonus point: You skip the
baggage claim and gain time to prepare for the big meeting. Our experts share
six simple steps for packing your suit like a jet-setter.
STEP 1
Lay suit face down on a flat surface.
STEP 2
Fold
left shoulder back.
STEP 3
Turn right shoulder
inside out, then tuck left shoulder into the right.
STEP 4
Fold
in half lengthwise and then fold horizontally.
STEP 5
Place folded jacket in center of outstretched trousers.
STEP 6
Fold trouser bottoms over jacket and repeat with top of trousers.
An Expert Tip
Using the protective plastic cover from your dry cleaning, place your folded jacket (after step 5) in the top of the bag where the hangers are typically gathered. Lay this on top of the outstretched trousers. The plastic will keep the fabric from rubbing against itself and causing wrinkles.
