Business trips might not be for fun, but they shouldn’t be stressful either. Use the extras below to make sure you don’t leave anything at home.
For X days
X (assuming all are days of meetings) business outfits (top + bottom).
X/3 sweaters/jackets to go with above
1 briefcase/business purse (should be your “under seat” item while traveling)
Business cards
- Women
1 pair of heels
Hosiery if appropriate (conservatism of meeting, weather, etc)
Aim for wrinkle-free dresses: one item instead of several and no ironing upon arrival
- Men
1 unique tie per client (can wear the same tie for different clients)
1 pair of dress shoes
