Silk, yes, silk, is the answer to travelling and packing light. Just in case you luggage is lost or delayed, you can take a small extra garment in your hand luggage or handbag.
Silk Underwear
For a weekend away, wear two pairs of lightweight silk underwear, briefs and larger if you have them. One can be washed, maybe dried fast under the hotel hair dyer, even the hand dryer in a toilet. You still have the spare outer pair. Not too bulky for travel. Warm for leaving a cold country, light for arrival somewhere warmer.
Silk Vests
What else? Silk vests are light. Same principle. Wear one and pack one. You could even wear one short sleeve and one long sleeve or sleeveless tank top.
Silk Blouse or Dress
Silk blouse, even a long sleeved one with a tie bow neck packs light or is light to wear. Silk sleeveless dress is small enough to post through the letterbox, and can be worn as a sleeveless dress or as a slip under your travelling outfit.
Silk Jacket and Hood
A lightweight silk jacket with a hood is a handy cover for travel, covers arms in religious buildings and provides protection from strong sunlight or draught air conditioning. It packs away small in a tote bag if you are carrying it just in case, or don't want to risk leaving it behind or losing it in a restaurant.
Silk Scarves
To brighten up a garment in a subtle colour, add splash of colour from a scarf, which can double as a belt.
