The weather’s beautiful these days, isn’t it? While the rains are here, it’s the perfect time for a drive out of this chaotic city.

As you pack for a weekend getaway, you’ve probably faced a dilemma — you want outfits that’ll have you sorted for various scenarios, but you also don’t want to lug around a lot of luggage.

Well, remember the basic rule — pack what makes you feel best and won’t hold you back from an adventure. Minimise some of the mayhem of packing by reaching for some fail-safe formulas.
