Discover How Tracee Ellis Ross Packs Light with Only 2 Pairs of Underwear
During her enlightening conversation with Travel + Leisure Editor-in-Chief Jacqui Gifford on July 16, Tracee unveiled her minimalist packing strategy. She humorously stated, “There’s always one bathing suit, a flip flop, and one little dress I can roll up. And there’s always two undies.” When Gifford questioned, “Two undies, that’s it?”, Tracee readily explained her efficient laundry method while traveling.
Tracee elaborated on her practical approach to maintaining cleanliness on the road. She shares that she utilizes hotel sinks to wash one pair of underwear, using shower gel or even a bar of soap for a quick refresh. After rinsing in another sink, she 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, adding that packing excessively can lead to unnecessary bulk. “How do you do that? They take up a lot of space.” Her insights highlight the importance of smart packing and travel efficiency.
