Do yourself a favor and build a 'capsule wardrobe' organization system for your clothes.

Gear

I started watching some videos on capsule wardrobes on Youtube a few months and and worked pretty hard to set that up.

It's REALLY crushing it for me now that I'm in Thailand.

The idea is that with a few core items, you can have literally hundreds of outfit design choices.

I broke it out into categories.

They are tops, bottoms, shoes.

The idea now is that I can mix and match from each category.

Then I had light and dark options.

For example, I have lighter pants when I wear a dark top (and usually vice versa). Otherwise, you look weird wearing black shirt and black pants.

Then I have hot and cold options. So for bottoms I'll have shorts and jeans and some synthetic pants for when I'm more active.

For shoes I have a pair of casual white walking shoes, low profile trail runner shoes, black leather dress shoes, and black leather boots that can double as hiking boots if I want.

Then I carry a rain jacket (they're super thin), a synthetic medium weight jacket, and a heavy leather jacket.

The other thing I did, is that since I only have a few options, I buy VERY high end options for each. It's worth it. My shorts, are from Arcteryx and are VERY high quality. I love them! My boots are high quality Allen Edmonds full-grain leather, etc, etc.
