Closet Confessions: Travel Secrets | Trinny

What kind of approach do you take to packing? Do you prefer to plan your outfits to the nth degree? Or do you throw your favourite pieces into the suitcase and hope for the best? On my recent trip to Spain I wanted to keep things light – so let’s pare down the packing process with some multitasking wardrobe choices and travel-friendly stacks…

Take a whistle-stop tour through Trinny Woodall’s (fifteen) wardrobes with Closet Confessions. In each episode, Trinny deep-dives into a particular section of her closet, mixing high street, vintage, designer and everything in between. This is everything you’ve ever wanted to know about fashion and styling, from the expert herself.

I've seen lots of comments over the last few months pleading with Trinny to make her videos in a wide film ratio format instead. Here's my diatribe for why I appreciate the 'raw' phone footage instead lol:

I figure Trinny is generously filming these for us in the middle of her (still busy) off-time, so using her phone is likely much quicker than setting up an entire home studio.

If she filmed in wide mode, we wouldn't get the same 'casual' Trinny energy that we get now - you wouldn't be able to see her jump around between different parts of her closet 'room' (it's not even a walk-in closet at this point, more like a walk-around one lol) without losing detail. I feel like that's when she's at her best - prancing around trying things when the inspiration strikes, rather than sitting down for an overly produced short film. That style works for other YouTubers (whom you're welcome to watch, of course) but I don't think it fits Trinny's personality.

Given how busy Trinny is with her business, I'm grateful she spends her time sharing her knowledge for *free* every week in this way (you know others are paywalling these sorts of tips behind a MasterClass course or members-only newsletter or whatever, right?) She's not *primarily* an influencer/ content creator, so I don't think she's directly making money from these videos - I don't even get ads in them, but I've probably jinxed it now lol. Anyway, my point is that I'm happy to see Trinny share her unbridled creativity in this format with us *for free* on a weekly basis! (Yes, I'm going to keep emphasising that point because paying a whole production crew to edit these videos in a wider format (beyond just splicing out the bloopers) takes time & money - which would likely take away from her actual money-making endeavours!)

So I'm going to be a spanner in the works & state that I *do* appreciate the vertical phone mode because I'm also watching these on my phone whilst doing something else (blame the need for overstimulation lol). But even if it's in wide mode, I could *still* watch it on my phone with black bars around it - just like you're still able to watch basically a *free* episode of this 'Trinny show' on your TV with black bars around it. Let's not undermine the work that goes into creative works, just because (or especially because) they're free!

Signed,
~ Your friendly neighbourhood spanner lol🔧

I really like that you’ve put in clips of you actually wearing the outfit on holiday - it’s really helpful for visualising how it’s actually worn in real life!! Thanks for your closet confessions videos Trinny, I find them so useful! Hope you had a good holiday ❤

[daisybuckley]

Your Mary Poppins bag packing never ceases to amaze me 🙏😄

[flowerpink]

Just can't get enough of Trinny. She's just fabulous 👌

[heikeschulte]

Thank you both! And thank you Jemima for so cheerfully and supporting you helped through the process at the end of a tiring week for Trinny, as she mentioned in her Spain video… ❤

[jan-ssbr]

I’ve packed for all four of us often… me, husband and two sons. One year we got to our destination and realised I hadn’t packed my own knickers 😂

[gemmaknight]

Loved that so much but Trinny please get one of those sunglass cases where you can take Multiple pairs and roll it up. It was painful seeing you shove all those beautiful glasses in together 😂😂❤ xx

[EdelweisSusie]

TOP TIP that I’ve been doing for years - if you regularly visit a family member, LEAVE CLOTHES at their house so you don’t have to pack so much just for 5-6 days!!

[Sami-ntoc]

How can this all meet the carry on requirements, even if you are going business or first class?

[pollywilson]

Always love your videos and perspectives / ideas that you share and how you included the 'reality' of what you wore whilst you were on holiday.

[kayelle]

Trinny’s amazement at prescription sunglasses ☺️ definitely the difference between someone that has worn glasses since childhood and someone that hasn’t.

[patriciainportland]

Love the fast forward to how you actually wore the clothes!

[mema]

Love all your outfits, Trinny. Enjoy Spain 😊

[JBUHJBUH]

Just wanted to add that you can buy a top tote/ hat magnet to clip that hat (at the end) around your suitcase handle!

I find it super easy and it doesn't interfere with the X-ray machines at airport security either.

[italy-amanda]

Thanks Trinny this has really helped with my forthcoming trip, I am an awful packer so this is much appreciated.

[AuroreCl]

I love the fact that your videos are in portrait, so much easier to watch

[Emma-kbqw]

Wondering if you wud be more confortable placing your suitcase on top of a small table for packing 😉 LOVE the lay back outfits 💞🔆👌

[stephanietaylor]

Where is that giant silver bag from? I love it ❤

[DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

I loved that golden skirt, and all the details you put into packing a suitcase.... Each and every CLOSET CONFESSIONS has been a lesson for me... I need to get that lime top, it's such fun

[cfmartindromore]

Oh Trinny! Just yesterday I saw Sophie Fontanel's packing for her holiday. She's spending a month in Greece with just a small cabin bag - the absolute opposite of your packing. There must be a happy medium...
