Minimalist Packing: Tracee Ellis Ross Reveals She Only Brings Two Pairs of Underwear on Trips
Tracee shared her packing secrets during a conversation with Jacqui Gifford, the Editor-in-Chief of Travel + Leisure, on July 16. She described her ultra-light packing strategy, stating, “There’s always one bathing suit, a flip flop, and one little dress I can roll up. And there’s always two undies.” When Jacqui challenged her with, “Two undies, that’s it?”, Tracee was quick to provide insights into her travel routine.
Tracee elaborated on her laundry routine while on the go, explaining how she manages her limited wardrobe. She uses hotel sinks to wash one pair of underwear with either shower gel or a bar of soap, rinses them in another sink, and then hangs them on the towel rack to dry. “If I’m gone for a month on this trip, you can’t pack a month’s worth of underwear,” she explained. “How do you do that? They take up a lot of space.” This practical approach to travel packing highlights her efficient and thoughtful mindset.
