T-shirt for guests and overnight stays with others

Short answer: When you stay overnight with others, your clothes should take up little space, stand up to repeat wear and feel good to sleep and wake up in. Bring a few simple T-shirts that combine well, and remember that washing differs at home and at your host's.

Pack little and pack simply

For one or two nights you do not need many T-shirts. Bring one for the day, one for the next day and perhaps one for the night. Choose colours that go with your trousers and jumpers, so everything combines without taking much room in the bag and you do not have to think about it.

A T-shirt for the night

You do not need special nightwear at someone else's home. A clean, soft T-shirt and comfortable trousers are often enough, and it is nice to have something familiar. Choose something that does not strain and that you can walk to the bathroom in without embarrassment, in case someone is up early in the morning.

Fit in shared spaces

When you share a bathroom and living room with others, it is nice to wear clothes that fit and that you do not have to think about. A T-shirt that is neither too short nor very loose gives a certain calm. It should cover when you reach for something and not hang when you bend.

Smell and freshness after a day

You rarely have the chance to rinse clothes when you visit. Change T-shirt every day and let the worn one air somewhere it can dry before it goes in the bag. Pack it in a bag apart from clean clothes, so the whole trip does not smell.

Ask before you use the machine

If you want to wash clothes at your host's, ask first and use their detergent and programme with respect. Read the care label and do not wash anything you are unsure about. If in doubt, bring enough to manage the trip without washing.

Long sleeves for cool evenings

Homes are not always warm, and as a guest you may not dare to turn up the heating. With long sleeve models in the bag you have one more layer for the evening or morning, without having to ask for a blanket. They take up little room and work as a first layer when it is cold.

Underwear and what you do not want lying around

Remember to pack enough underwear so you do not run out, and keep it apart from the dirty items. Bamboo underwear for men does not take much room in the bag and is pleasant to wear all day. Put it in a bag so nobody has to look in your luggage for something.

Comfortable clothes for the sofa

After dinner many people want to change into something more relaxed. A set like bamboo jogging sets for men can come along if there is room in the bag, and gives you comfort without looking sloppy. Remember that it is your clothing and you are the guest.

Frequently asked questions

How many T-shirts do I need for one night?

Two to three is usually enough: one for the journey, one for the next day and perhaps one to sleep in. Choose colours that go together so you can mix freely.

May I wash clothes at my host's?

Always ask first. Use their detergent and programme with respect, and read the care label so you do not damage your own clothes or theirs.

How do I keep worn T-shirts fresh in the bag?

Let them air before you pack them and put them in a bag apart from clean clothes. That stops the whole bag from taking on the same smell.
