A suitcase packed neatly

I can delude myself into thinking that I’m low-maintenance until it comes time to pack for a holiday.

Only then do I realise how many products I need to achieve what I consider a basic level of presentability – between hair straighteners, my makeup bag, skincare, and a space-hogging dryer (only mine does the job), I’ve never been able to get away with a single bag.

And that’s without considering clothes or the dreaded, “where do I put them and why do they fill half my suitcase?” shoes.

If you’re like me, though, fear not. The 3-3-3 method aims to solve the packing problems of people like us, without limiting our outfit options as much as you’d expect.

What’s the 3-3-3 packing method?

The method, which was invented by TikToker and fashion influencer Rachel Spencer, limits you to three bottoms, three tops, and three pairs of shoes.

That might sound meagre, but provided you mix and match every component of the selection, you’ll actually be left with 27 potential outfits.
