Also true.
For a six-day trip in the UK summer, I'd bring one pair of long trousers, one pair of capris, and one skirt for my bottom half. For the top, three short-sleeve, one sleeveless, and two long-sleeve shirts plus a nice-looking light sweater and a light jacket. Throw in the folding umbrella, one pair of stylish but comfortable walking shoes, and one pair of slightly dressier sandals, and you're done.
