All international travel requires some math, which is, in my opinion, not fun–we’re talking rupees to dollars when you’re haggling in a sweaty marketplace or kilometers to miles when you’re trying to figure out how fast your taxi driver is actually going. However, there’s also some arithmetic that I find genuinely rewarding (and maybe a little less intense) when it comes to globehopping: managing double-duty attire and only packing items that have, at minimum, dual-use functions. The math is simple: why pack three things when you can pack one (that does the work of three)? A dress that converts to a skirt. A reversible kimono that flips from a loud pattern to a subtle solid. A jacket that also serves as a dress. You get the point. If a piece doesn’t multitask, leave it home. You can pack half the amount, avoid checking your luggage, circumvent luggage fees, and mete out the extra room in your bag to bring home some swag from the road. Here are some of the best double and triple (and quadruple!) hitters we could find.
