We all know that the secret to light travel is not the right bag. The secret is the right amount and kind of clothes and tech gear. Developing your own travel uniform is one way to simplify and minimize. For a middle-aged guy it might be traveling with two identical pairs of khakis and two travel oxfords, plus underwear (possibly including undershirts that double as t-shirts) and a jacket. Add a scarf, tie, swimsuit or pair of shorts and you have a sub 12-pound outfit that will take you around the world, and through most climates — provided you do a little laundry every other night. The key to the uniform is that each piece work with every other piece. Exciting? No. Efficient? Yes. Surprises? Few. Please share your uniform suggestions.
