  As an older gray haired woman I realize that no one looks at me. What a freeing realization. When I travel I can wear whatever I want as long as I don’t go too wild. So I wear whatever is comfortable and fits within the social norms. Total game changer.

  I love the idea of a signature look. This is much more appealing to me than the word uniform.

  I was skeptical until my fashionista sister-in-law did the &apos;uniform&apos;. She said if it was good enough for Michael Kors, it was good enough for her. It reminds me of that quote about not worrying about what other people think because they&apos;re too busy worrying about what you think of them. Your video gives someone the courage to try it. &nbsp;And once they do, I suspect the majority will be delighted at the freedom it gives. (Adding a third pair of shoes was what convinced me, as I like 2 pair of hard core walking shoes to breathe between sight-seeing days.)

  I love that you didn&apos;t just TELL us about the &quot;uniform&quot;, but actually SHOWED us. Awesome video hun, thank you!

  One thing a lot of people forget is that accessories can really make outfits feel fresh and different. Scarves, jewelry, and shoes can make a simple dress, or pants and top, feel completely different.

  We are a retired couple and are embracing a lifestyle of travel &quot;uniforms&quot; that look little different from our everyday lives. Even on cruises we dress for comfort rather than style. <br>One doesn&apos;t need to wait until older age to loosen up &amp; quit caring what others think of your clothing or gear.

  1 year ago at age 73 I was on planes to Rome, first time traveling solo since 1992! Small carryon, personal item and... A cheap fishing vest which had all my docs, cash and most of the stuff for use on the planes! Still was not as easy as when I was a lot younger but it worked!! Great video! I watched your videos then and am still learning!

  Love the concept! &nbsp;What I don’t love is that I have yet to find a merino wool company that makes clothes for larger sizes.

  Absolutely the best way to pack! I love clothes but I hate traveling heavy. One thing that I do is to start by doing sort of a &quot;packing drill&quot; way ahead of my trip so I give myself time to think, choose carefully and add or remove items as I check the weather of the place I&apos;m going. I never wait until the last minute to pack because that results in making rushed decisions and mistakes. &quot;The Uniform&quot; system is great! Thank you for your &nbsp;fun and useful videos!

  For basic staples on long trips, I like the mentality of: one to be worn, one to be clean, one to be washed. Flying especially with less has been so liberating. Handwashing is not hard with the right selection of clothes.
