What to pack for a week: how many of each
For a week of mild weather: Tops (T-shirts, shirts): 7 · Trousers, skirts or shorts: 3 · Underwear and socks (sets): 8 · Warm layers (sweater, fleece): 2 · Jacket: 1 · Compact umbrella: 1 · Shoes (pairs): 2
The rule is simple: one top per day, one bottom per two or three days, underwear with a spare, and warm layers, a jacket or rain gear only when the forecast calls for them. For a specific city the list is built from its live 7-day forecast.
