big and tall packing commiseration post. How many clothes do you bring?

School Life/Culture

I've been back in my home country for a few years and am starting to think ahead for my international move this summer so I have ample time to buy anything I am missing. I've already been in several other countries, most of which I am nearly a foot and a half taller than your average male in the country so buying clothes that fit me is just not possible.

I'm laying out everything on my bed and trying to decide what to take and what to leave. I remember students in my last posting charting how many times I wore my dark green dress pants vs my brown dress pants. I think maybe I need to bring more clothes this time. But I just can't remember how many I had last time, I just know it wasn't enough.

Does anyone have any concrete numbers you use for work clothing? I'm thinking one week worth of pants, two weeks of shirts, one, two or three suits? Maybe more, how much more? I'm at a loss here.
