Traveling for work -- How many suits do you pack? (1 Viewer)

[SouthJersey]

If you have a 5-day work trip where you have to wear a suit every day, how many are you packing?

On a related note -- if you wear a suit to work every day, how many are in your rotation?

Maybe we could all write something together just to make sure there are no spelling or grammatical errors.

I haven't worn a suit since my interview and thank god for that.

Depending on the nature of the work, I'd probably try to get by with 2 suits, mixing things up with the shirts and ties. Most guys don't notice other guys suits. I know there are exceptions to the rule.

Pack 2, wear 1. If I'm traveling on Sunday I'll just pack the two.

Suits everyday or some options for Sport Coat and slacks? 

If the former, 2 suits should suffice. Wear one travelling if you want to lessen the load. I'd recommend a rollin bag that you can also put your laptop and stuff in (I use a small leather computer bag/small briefcase that fits in) and a garment bag so you can bring both on the plane.  Definitely better to pack suits and shirts in a roll up garment bag to avoid wrinkles, best yet to pack them still in the plastic from the dry cleaners - should get there good as new.

this exactly.  Never more than 2 suits for a week.  Change the shirts and ties.

Problem with those is they are both expensive and sometimes too big for carry on, depending. I use a separate rolling suitcase bag and lightweight traditional garment that has some pockets and all so its useful without the rolling overhead suitcase. I then plop the garment on top of the wheelie bag at the airport.
