How to Pack for a Bleisure Trip
- Identify the Work-Play Ratio
How many days will you be working and how much downtime will you have in this trip? List out what activities you will be doing each day to determine how many dressy pieces versus casual wear you’ll need.
2. Check the Dress Code
Find out what the dress code is for the work part of the trip. If it’s a conference or meeting that allows business-casual attire, good news — you can wear the same clothing for both work and play. If your work events require more formal outfits, bring an all-purpose blazer and a pair of dressy shoes.
2. Pack Versatile Clothing
Clothes that suit more than one type of occasion are perfect for a multipurpose trip. For example, a pressed Oxford shirt or simple dress can be worn to a conference but also for a night out in town.
Also, the beauty of mixing and matching is that the same separates can be re-purposed for different occasions. You can re-wear the same pair of pants without anyone noticing simply by matching them with different separates.

3. Pack Convenient Clothing
Given that you have two sets of agenda for your trip, you don’t want to travel with twice the amount of baggage and laundry. Pack quick-drying clothing that are also easy to wash (i.e. no dry clean-only items) for maximum efficiency and minimal load.
4. Remember the Work Essentials
It is a work trip, after all. So don’t forget to pack your namecards, laptop, chargers, Post-Its, notepad and pen, and other stationery for when you don’t have access to Wi-Fi.
