This one falls into the category of true envy: After all, it was a man who suggested that the lining of a Burberry raincoat could double as a bathrobe. So to pack like a man, try thinking like one.

Thought No. 1: Double duty. Thought No. 2: Repetition.

Nobody notices if a man wears the same suit two days in a row — or even five — if he changes his shirt and tie. Pack color in the form of a single bright scarf or contrasting top; add a touch of glamour and a different look with a couple of pairs of earrings.

Carry your coat over your arm, wear a pullover under a suit jacket, and choose related neutrals that flatter your coloring.

Bring shirts and sweaters in fabrics that stretch and fit — jersey, Lycra, cashmere.

Don't bring more than two pairs of shoes: Wear heels coming and going (if you wear them at all), and bring flats or sandals, which can double as slippers.

Do it right and you'll have room for a wild card — a nightgown that doubles as an evening dress, perhaps? — that you'd otherwise have to leave at home.
