How many of each
Reading this —

The formula

days to cover = days away, or days between laundry if shorter underwear and socks = days to cover + spares tops = days to cover bottoms = days to cover ÷ 3, rounded up

Bottoms get about three wears each and sleepwear about a week.

What to watch out for

Clothing that dries overnight can stretch this further. Lay it all out, then remove anything that is only there just in case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many clothes do I need for two weeks?

With laundry every 7 days and one spare set, about 30 items in mixed weather: the same as a one-week trip.

How do I pack for a long trip?

Pack for the gap between washes, not for the length of the trip. After about a week, more days add almost nothing.
