- Enter the number of nights away. Seven nights usually means eight travel days.
- Count adults and children, excluding babies. See quantities per person and for the whole group.
- Adjust the starting quantities for weather, activities and how often you change clothes.
Understanding your result
T-shirts, underwear and socks use one item or pair per person per night, up to 14 nights. Trousers and sleepwear start at one per person. For longer trips this basis assumes laundry or reuse. An extra change for the arrival day is not included.
For two adults and one child staying seven nights, the result is 21 T-shirts, 21 pairs of underwear, 21 pairs of socks, three pairs of trousers and three sets of sleepwear. Each person gets seven daily changes and one of each remaining category.
Frequently asked questions
How many clothes do I need for a 7-day vacation?
For six nights the tool starts with six daily changes per person. Seven nights gives seven changes. Consider your arrival outfit, sports, weather and personal routine separately.
How many T-shirts for 14 nights away?
The starting quantity is 14 T-shirts per adult or child. This is a packing guide, not a required amount. Laundry or reuse can let you pack fewer.
Why do quantities stop increasing after 14 nights?
The app assistant’s basis caps daily clothing at 14 nights, then assumes laundry or reuse. Add more clothes if neither is possible on your trip.
Are these quantities the same as in the app?
The basic formula for the five clothing categories matches the assistant for adults and children. This tool shows full group totals; the app limits each list entry to 99. You can split larger totals into multiple entries. Babies and additional app contexts are not included here.
