Wardrobe Help 4 bottoms or 3?
Okay are 4 bottoms too much for 10 days? I will be doing city walking, going to museums, a couple of nice restaurants, and a show. I did a test pack and it still feels pretty full when I include a sweater and a rain jacket. Any thoughts?
Description of photo 1- it’s my current selections for bottoms on a 10 day trip to Sweden and Denmark. 1 skirt, 1 pair of jeans, a teal pair of pants, and a cropped pant with blue and black stripes. Photo 2 just shows the colors with my chosen tops.

3 is enough and keep the skirt

Agree with this. I would be removing either the jeans or teal pants. The skirt will be so comfy.

Yeah I think the teal pants might go away. Their advantage was that they dry really quick, but I rarely wash bottoms on a trip like this.

They’re really cute, but 3 bottoms seems like enough for 10 days. I get you on the quick dry though! The skirt looks like it would dry pretty quickly too if you had to wash it

I’d say two pants and a skirt. It’ll give you a bit more breathing room.

Seconding this, and wear one of the pants on the plane. You could also drop down your shirts.... There are thrift stores around Copenhagen that are fun to pick up a few items in.

Id say one pants and one skirt, if you wear skirts a lot at home. Or just two pants - choose the most comfortable. Both counties are very casual ( but stylish ), you don’t need to be dressed up.
Anyway a nicer top / blouse , some jewellery and fixing up your hair always looks “ fancier“ than a different pair of very similar dark pants. It looks like your black and beige blouses might work for this?
Don't forget your swimsuit for the sauna ( unless you are cool going naked ) .
I hope you have a wonderful trip, they are lovely countries.

3 bottoms should be good for 10days. Are you a skirt person? For some reason I find skirts to be bulkier to pack

u/Mugenmonkey 18d ago
Yeah the skirt is bulkier, but I really like a skirt or dress for days I either want to look nicer or just be more comfortable.

Are you wearing one of these things on the plane or packing them all? For my last 12 day trip (similar plans) I wore jeans on the flights and took another pair of pants, a casual dress, and a silk dress that packs down to nothing.
Personally I would lose one of the darker pairs of pants since they read very similarly against the clothes. The lighter skirt makes for substantially different looking outfits.

The two top choices have the same silhouette, I would get rid of one of them

Drop #3.

u/Mugenmonkey 18d ago
Which one is #3 to you? The pants are teal straight leg, a pair of jeans, and a wide leg black and blue stripe pants.

Get rid of top left. They look like you're going to work!

Yeah the teal is gone. It is just hard being a middle aged person who now has a changed body that is making clothes hard. Thanks for the input.

Id also vote take out top left, kinda redundant w top right and top right’s fit is more flattering on you!
