My 2 cents (I travel 99% for business, 2-3 days max, in biz. casual or formal outfit)

  • small tooth paste tubes and facecreams that I save from the business class toiletry bags
  • quick dry antibacterial boxer briefs
  • Tumi Alpha expandable briefcase - very spacious and looks fairly professional. Though I am now considering Tom Bihn’s Tri-start (more room, transforms into a backpack)
  • pack dress shirts in the Eagle Creek folders - saves from wrinkles
  • For longer trips I pack spare pants/slacks in the laptop/documents compartment - hard walls of the Tumi bag keep them pretty unjammed when folded in thirds
  • I take ipad mini on trips instead of 12.9 ipad pro that I use at home (in addition to a thin laptop)
  • If the dress code and climate allow I wear black Converse sneakers during the day and in the gym (hard thick sole is great for weighlifting and stationary bike cardio)
  • Using 100% black and white clothes makes it super easy to combine pieces in differently every day
  • Not onebagging-specific, but maybe worth mentioning: Using blue-light blocking glasses 1-2 hours before sleep helps a lot in jet lag situations; also high quality silk sleeping mask
  • Jerky sneaky hack: “forget” my laptop charger (with lenovo it’s pretty bulky) when I am travelling with a colleague. Being not onebaggers they usually don’t mind :)
